“Frallenge” Results

‘Fran’ is a CrossFit workout involving 21 thrusters (@ 95lbs for men and 65 lbs for women) and 21 pull ups, then 15 reps of each exercise and then 9 of each.

Exercises are performed as fast as possible with little or no rest. It’s a tough workout that challenges your strength, muscular endurance as well as metabolic conditioning. We held a challenge for the CrossFit and Training class members after 6 weeks of training.

CrossFit Junkie. Survived stag…

But almost died on Tuesday with Julie.

My body was still in recovery mode from a weekend of heavy partying so I thought I was going to take it easy on Julie’s CrossFit class on Tuesday.  She had other plans.  I must confess that my brain was still working only at about 50% as a result of the weekend festivities, so I’m not too sure if I was counting my reps properly (sometimes I did more, some less).

Drum roll please!!!

I am back.  After a few weeks away on vacation I am back at it.  My trip was definitively not kind to my midsection and I think I recovered part of what I had lost through CrossFit.  Again, probably the hardest part is getting back to it after having fallen off the wagon for a few days.
