To get new workout ideas, I skimmed some of my old blog posts yesterday. I felt like around winter time, I was really taking a beating during the workouts I did, so I wanted to bring some of that back. I found a sweet Crossfit routine that sounded really hard and that I actually clearly remember doing. Turns out, it was really hard.
The original workout says to do this circuit 5 times. We got to three and called it a day. I’ve actually done the five rounds before but I wouldn’t really classify it as Crossfit style. With Crossfit, you’re supposed to do the exercises as fast as you can. After a million burpees…I definitely slow down a bit. Here was the routine we did yesterday:
Crossfit- 5 Rounds (we did three!)
- 22 Kettle-bell Swings- We used free weights. I used a 15lb. weight.
- 22 Jump Squats- This was actually supposed to be jumps on a box or bench but we didn’t have one around. I’m pretty sure the jump squats are equally as hard!
- Run 400 meters
- 22 Burpees
- 22 Wall-Balls- I used a 12lb. medicine ball. We were technically supposed to use a 20lb. ball but my gym doesn’t have one!
I definitely felt “worked out” by the end of three rounds. My legs are plenty sore today so I don’t think it was a waste of time! If you’re feeling extra energized or strong these days, you should definitely go for 5!
Have you ever tried Crossfit? Did you like it?
oh yes, crossfit. Its killer. in a good good way!
That sounds intense! Good job getting through 3 circuits!
I love crossfit, I talk about it on my blog a lot! I’m from Dallas and found a gym that does it close to my house! I always feel like a man when I’m done 🙂
