CROSSFIT FRIDAY


Finally I made the decision to venture into what is known as a Crossfit 'box'. These guys have specifically designed spaces that don't have the flashy features of regular gyms. Stripped back bare and raw.

I went down and met Scott who will be taking me through my intro sessions into Crossfit. One on one sessions first before I can graduate to the classes with the other guys.

Contrary to popular belief I was taken through a full movement assesment similar to the one I would take my clients through when I first train them. Passed almost all things no problem. Just needed to refine a couple of things.

After all the assesments were done we moved on to the WOD or work out of the day.
This is a benchmark workout which will measure my improvement over time.
The workout comprised of...

500 mt row
40 squats
30 sit ups
20 push ups
and 10 pull up

for time
I got around 5.45 I think. I really should write things down!

I have two more sessions left before the classes start. I need to get this time better again so expect to see me practising more in the gym this week!!

Check out Crossfit Victoria on their website!

  1. Spent some time perusing the Crossfit website(s) - OMG you've joined a cult! Don't drink the Kool-aid!

  2. sure is a cult. When you spend so much time justifying what it is all about that is exactly how it feels...
    Love it though!!

  3. Wow Andrew, that WOD time sure looks impressive. I'd be lucky to complete that in under a week!
