Tonight's lessons at Crossfit=Crossfit friends are motivators and will help you to do things that you never thought you could do, and burpees still suck.
Tonights workout was a deck of cards. Each suit represented an exercise, squats, pushups, situps and burpees. Our team of 3 had to complete all reps, the value of the card, before getting a new card from the trainer and moving on. Our score was the total number of reps completed in a set time, 3 rounds. Somehow my husband trainer gave us every card that represented the pushups and burpees in the deck. Well maybe not, but that is what it felt like. I also think he found a slight bit of pleasure as I choked back the vomit when he told us, "12 burpees" toward the end of the workout.
I joke about the WODs, but it is all worth every bit of sweat and effort that I put into Crossfit. I walk out of the gym with a completely different attitude then when I walked in. All of the stressors that have found their way into my day seem to disappear and I have a complete sense of accomplishment. One of the mantras that I have hanging in my bathroom is, "My body is getting stronger every day." This is how I have always wanted to live my life.
I don't know remember if I have shared this, so forgive me if this is a repeat. I did try Crossfit about 6 years ago. There was only one Box in Summit County and my husband would follow the WOD posted on the main site at the local YMCA. I decided to try it with him, I made it through two workouts, puked my guts out and vowed to never do it again. It has been 11 months from the time a friend talked me into trying Crossfit again and I stepped foot into a Box. I truly feel that I am stronger and more confident in myself than I have ever been. I feel very blessed tonight to be able to call Crossfit Utility my Box.
