Hello! Welcome to my journey to a healthier me! At 55, I weigh more than I ever have, feel tired all the time, hate clothes shopping (especially for bras) and decided to make a change. I Joined A Cross Fit Gym challenge for 6 weeks, that started 10/1/16, with my first full one hour class today.
I have been measured, weighed, body compositioned, assessed for range of motion and balance issues.
Today's work out was my first full hour, that will be from 6-7 am M/W/F. For today, at least, no pictures or before photos or starting weight.
Today's workout:
Warm up
Run 100 meters
10 squats
Repeat
4 x 5 (4 sets/5 reps each:
Overhead bar lift (15 lbs)
Deadlift 10 lb dumbell
10 minutes AMRAYC
(As many reps as you can)
Partnered with another athlete, one tosses a weighted ball up on the wall from a full squat, then jumping up to toss, for 15 reps, while the other holds plank position. This is a timed event for 10 minutes!
I have been given a handicap on wall ball, as I can't do a full squat (yet) to go as low as I can and jump if possible. Also for planking, I get to use a box instead of on the floor until I build up my arm strenght.
I got through my first full day and Monday. Stay tuned for more updates. Before and after stats may have to reveal themselves later!
By the way we were recommended to follow the Paleo Diet and given daily recipe plans. I will incorporate this to some extent, but it is a bit expensive to commit to. I am going to try to go decaffeinated and for those who know me, that is one giant step!
