10 rounds of:
8 Kettle Bell Swings
8 Squat Hops
8 Burpees
This pretty much knocked me on my ass. But I did finish all 10 rounds (in 17:40 min), and with a heavier kettle bell than I usually use - I've been trying to move up to the 35lb weight, but this is the first time I've used it for a full WOD. I'd like to remember to try and do this again in a month or so to see what my time is.
I'm also thinking of buying myself a kettle bell to use at home. During warm-up we moved to swinging the KB around our bodies (and in figure eights through our legs) and the coach pointed out that round-the-worlds are an excellent way to tire out and work your core, perhaps especially your obliques. And it's something I can do while I watch tv or korean dramas, etc more easily than holding planks... so... yeah... that's almost a plan.
Also, next week I'm starting back up at SWLBC, which I started last summer and really loved, but took a break from this winter. It's outside at green lake in the morning, and it's a really great program that focuses more on women's bodies and achieving the shapes/lines they are after (as opposed to crossfit, which is more about overall awesomeness and less about shaping your waistline).
I'd like to work in some runs at greenlake or somewhere, too, so that Saturday mornings with the TM crew aren't my only runs, but I'm not sure where on earth I'll be able to fit that in, especially since school has started again. Meh. It's still not a top priority for me. I figure I'll work more on running once school finishes and it gets a little nicer out. If I find time, great, if not - there will be time later.
And I was not doing too good paleo-wise for a while, but not concerning myself with feeling overly guilty. I just kind of felt like those eating habits would come back when I was ready for them to come back. And then the other day I watched a lot of Gary Taubes' lectures, and lo-and-behold, my desire to eat better magically re-appeared just like I thought it would! Thanks, Gary. :D
I want a kettle ball too! When you go shopping for one, BRING ME!
ReplyDeleteI have been very bad this week and have been eating all the things... I miss feeling full from little amounts of a lot of protein - right now I feel hungry all the time because I am eating JUNK. Going to get back on being good the minute I return from Colorado!
I wish I could do your morning class or run Greenlake with you. : (
The end.
