First Full Workout Back!

For anyone interested, Kate and Josh lead workouts at 6 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. We meet by the tennis courts on the OSU campus in front of Dixon Hall (Rec Center). Come on down! First class is free.

Well, I was finally able to do an actual workout without subs. It was wonderful, and thanks to Josh and Kate who lead it, I was on top of my back and hip making sure I kept correct form. Nothing like having a coach around.

Round 1-
Pullups on the minute, starting at 1, then 2, then 3...I made it to 14, died on 15. Not bad for not having done pullups really in about 4-6 months.

Round 2-
21-15-9 burpees and SDHP (53 lb kb)- 4:46

Good stuff, see how I feel tomorrow!

Class!

I joined in for a small outside class run by Josh and Kate Bridges who have recently started running some outside classes a few days a week on campus. It was good to meet them.

8 rounds

10 55lb kettlebell thrusters
100 yard run
10 burps
100 yard run

I bagged out after 6 rounds deciding it was a good enough re-entry after 6-8 weeks of slothdom and no exercise. Based on today I'm glad I made that call.

forgot my time 18: and change I think

Slacker...

Sad to say that the school work combo has had the best of me and I've not worked out in over a month. And I sure feel like it.
Got back at it today with a scaled down workout to get my body back into the routine.

50 pullups
50 push ups
50 situps
50 squats

Looking forward to ramping back up as school wraps up...

Also glad to hear some crossfit classes are starting to happen around town from the sound of things.

Booo...

Well, its injury healing time. I decided to try and focus on pullups and dips, but then my back started spasming. Turns out that I have been overarching my back when lifting and bending forward from my back instead of my hips for most of my daily activities. So, time to heal, which means no load or shock bearing activities on my back or leg. This basically means no CF in much of a meaningful way. So, for awhile now, unless Ken gets motivated, this blog will be a little sad.

I am swimming slowly with a foam belt to hold my hips up and doing yoga. Hopefully I can get this all to heal and get back to it!
