This week's WODs have been all about Tabata. (Tabata is a type of workout where you do an exercise for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds, and repeat for a total of eight rounds). When I first introduced to tabata, I loathed it but I have learned to not hate it. (Notice I don't say "love it"). Now, I can push myself for that short amount of time.
Monday's WOD Tabata Mashup
20'' box jumps
Push Press 95/65# (I used 45#)
Today's WOD also included tabata but it was more about shoulder rehab and low intensity. We began with strength skill work. It started with weighted thick-grip pull ups. Those were BRUTAL! And this is coming from a girl who can't do a pull up so it was heavily modifed but it was still terrible. The thick grip makes it a million times harder!!
After that was followed by weight dips. While my dips weren't weighted (because I still work with the bands), I did my first set of 3 dips without a band! Woo hoo! I did a little victory "woop woop" this morning.
Tuesday's WOD Tabata Mashup-shoulder rehab style
Face Pulls (using a skinny band)
Push Up Plus (these are push up using only your shoulders. They felt weird, but my shoulders were burning)
In other Crossfit news, it is one week until I begin my 60-Challenge . I'm getting all my junk-food eating out of my system...which probably isn't the best strategy but whateve.
Post workout, I go home, shower and leave directly to school. From school, I go right to field hockey. To say I carry a few bags with me is an understatement. Some affectionatly call me "the bag lady." I also realized this week, that I carry around a LOT of beverages. Take a look at all the different drinks I brought with me yesterday.
coffee, water, protein shake, BCAAs
Happy Tuesday!
