crossfit du jour (with a twist)

Warm Up:
reaching stretches
x2 45 seconds

  • skip
  • right arm kettlebell swings
  • left arm kettlebell swings
  • skip
  • rest 
WOD:
4 rounds for time
15 hang cleans (35lbs)
15 push ups
15 box jumps (21 inches)

Results:
???





Story Time:
Doing WOD, everythings fine, I'm almost done the box jumps of round three. And then I EAT IT. I crashed so hard on the box, I destroyed my shins. I was howling in pain, it sucked. Needless to say I didn't finish the WOD. But as I was driving away, I said f*ck that. I went back, set up, and did my last round. Not the same as doing them all in a row. But I didn't quit. Call me a quitter, I dare you!

Todays workout was so so cool. The gym closed early so we missed it and I thought there would be no exercise today. We're staying at my parents house for the holidays though, and I thought to myself wouldn't it be awesome to move the cars out of the garage and use that as our gym? (I live in Canada and I'm sorry - today it is way to cold to work out outside). Well I was right and it was cool. And it was nice because my parents came out to see how we were doing. It was an awesome place for sparring. My jab is getting some power behind it and I'm improving my hook too. So thankful hubby enjoys working with me on it because I find boxing so, so fun. He boxed when he was younger and has a lot of matches under his belt. We're starting to work on footwork too and by the end of it I was making HIM move around the garage!

Anyways, today was an all around great day!
I did pretty good for food choices (aside from 5 pieces of licorice, which I dutifully tracked!). We'll see how the rest of the night goes :)

Todays Pump Up Song:


it came on a couple of times throughout the day today and each time hubby and I stopped to silly dance, including vulgar hip thrusts, the robot and moonwalking. All around awesomeness :)



Hope all of the Spring Chicks had as much fun as I did today! xx
