If CrossFit was easy….it would be your Mom

We had our first Mother/Daughter duo come last night! My Mom has only been to the gym once. She threw a 6lb medicine ball at the wall ball plate, came up 4' short of the target, and decided that was enough for her! Season's Mom, Rhonda, joined us at 7PM for a workout. She was a little apprehensive about the workout, but she did a great job! After the workout she was showing off her excellent handstand skills. For those of you struggling with handstands, Rhonda says they're like a kicking "downward dog". I'm assuming that's some sort of top secret Yoga code. :-)

The workout last night was short and intense; the epitome of a CrossFit workout. We did 3 rounds for time of row 350 meters, 10 burpees, 10 kettlebell swings. A workout like this calls for a high level of intensity in order to get the most out of it. There should be NO standing around during this one! Most of our CrossFitters finished in under 12 minutes, with our fastest time of the day being 8:33. (pats self on the back) It's been a LONG time since I had the best time of the day! Victory would have been even sweeter if I hadn't dropped the kettlebell on the top of my foot after my last rep. I guess that's why Bill kept yelling at me not to drop it. :-) Thanks to everyone who stuck around and cheered for Bill and me! It's always funny to hear our own words shouted back at us. Chris does an excellent impersonation of us.
