Natalie from Chico was on vacation and got a chance to workout here. We went through the Crossfit warmup, then worked on some technique with medicine ball and barbell squat cleans. She did a great job! For the conditioning portion of the workout, she finished with the following:
An 8:00 minute conditioning workout!
This was a practice workout, designed to give new trainees a chance to get used to the pacing and demands of a Crossfit workout.
3 rounds, for Points:
Each 10 meters of rowing counts as 1 point. Each rep of the slams and swings counts as 1 point. The object is for newcomes to get through the entire workout at a steady workload without "crashing". Load on the slams and swings is minimal.
Harlan had one of his best rowing sessions today:
A workout for a Big Gym environment:
20 minutes, max number of rounds
A little fun at Crossfit Southwest today:
Are long, steady pace, slow distance workouts actually easier than shorter interval workouts? Friday's workout was a 5k row. Sweat was shed, records were set. An hour later, the workout doesn't seem like it was that hard.
This was a day to work on gymnastics-related activities, with some swings and broad jumps thrown in for good measure.
