Since we were wide awake from the amount of sleep we got the other night, and the caffeine in our systems from the McDonalds mocha’s. Last night at midnight the Boyf and I had the best idea of doing a CrossFit wod. I decided to document it and put it on display for you guys.
This was the WOD that we came up with. Instead of going out full tilt like a regular CrossFit workout, we rested while the person completed the first workout (not the first round). I did 15 pushups, the Boyf did 15 pushups, then I moved to the elastic band pulls, then he did. And so on.
Good gravy. I need to practice my pushup form. This was probably the 8th photo of me in this position. My body is straight til the very end, and that’s when I dip my chest to the ground and keep my butt up high. It was difficult off the toes! I ended up doing most on my knees.
Here are the elastic band pulls that work your chest and tris. Having my photos in black and white makes me look more muscular. In color, it didn’t look that way — I promise. It’s why the photos are in B&W. Looks like I”m a beast. I assure you, I am a weakling.
Bicep curl and press. By the third round I was pooped.
Then it was the tricep press. I decided to do this two-handed, and do 20 instead of 10.
This is where I was speedier than the Boyf. I taught him how to do v-sit ups last night and he was uncoordinated but managed to pump them out. They’re difficult on the hips, quads and abs!
I think we both had fun doing this at home WOD together. We’re thinking of making it a regular occurrence. It’s great especially if you don’t want to leave your house at midnight to head to a gym ;)
Have you ever done a CrossFit WOD? Wheter it be at home or at a local box?
Last week I had a contest for the Brooke Burke at home workout DVDs and I drew the names this morning. Here are the winners:
Winners: please get back to me in 48 hours or I’ll draw another name.Â
Enjoy your Sunday!
I’m going to end up starting the push up challenge again shortly. I don’t know what’s stopping me from even starting but I’m planning on it in the foreseeable future. Ha! How’s that for a vague answer. I ended up doing the 50 day push up challenge on my knees last time, and next I want to start doing them off my toes. Elbows in. The “tough” way! I saw a vast improvement on my performance at CrossFit when I did them, so I want to keep that level up.
Here’s a random photo of us in the elevator. Just because this post is lacking some visuals ;) Totally broke that BlackBerry case awhile ago. On case # 3 now. Oops. Hey, at least I’m not on BlackBerry #3 right?
