Training outside.

Due to circumstances, I haven’t been able to get to the gym during the last 2 weeks. That doesn’t mean I didn’t train.

Normally I would stay inside. I’m not a big fan of training outside during the winter, but yesterday I made an exception since it wasn’t that cold outside. There is a school playground directly across from where I live, when I train outside, I make good use of it :).

After the warm-up, 200 or so single unders (still working on my double unders, slow progress on it..) a 30 meter bearcrawl and a few 100% sprints, I started my workout.

The workout that I did was the following:

15 BJ (box jumps)

15 Toes to Bar

15 BJ

15 Toes to Bar

15 BJ

15 Pull Ups

15 BJ

Unfortunately, I didn’t time it. Its a fun workout though. The Toes to Bar and Box Jumps weaken your arms enough to make the Pull Ups a real pain. I must say, I really liked training outside. I like being outside and It’s fun to see people watch your “weird” workout. Most definitely will keep it up!

The “300”.

I almost died today at my local crossfit gym. I was there for my third session (I only recently joined) and when I saw this workout, it wasn’t that impressive  to me. Boy was I wrong…

Ok, I have to admit, 50 pullups is pretty die hard, and I couldnt do these without some elastic band to help my body get up there, everyone has limits and with pullups I have mine around 20 unaided. But the rest seemed pretty doable. The pullups went pretty fast, the boxjumps ok, but after the Sit-ups I was completely busted.

The heaviest of them all where, by far, the burpees (without the push ups that is). I was so wasted from the previous exercise that my body couldn’t manage more than 7 at a time.

Ok, here my time: 17.59. Which probably isn’t so bad for someone who just joined the gym.

If the picture is a bit blurry, this is the “300”:

50 Pullups

50 Boxjumps

50 Pushups

50 Sit-ups

50 KB swings (I used a dumbell of 9kg)

50 Burpees (without the actual Pushup)

After this one, u will probably feel like shit (at least I did).
