My CrossFit Journal (week 50)

______________________________________________

Week 50 Day 1.

60 Sit Up
70 Burpee
Finished right before the 24 minute mark.

Week 50 Day 2.

Warmup #1
150 skips
Inch worms back and forth
10  Box jumps (20″ box)
10 Hollow rocks

Warmup #2
AMRAP 8 minutes
8 pushups (The proper way: elbows in)
9 box jumps (20″ box)
10 hollow rocks
I completed 5 full rounds and on my 6th round I got to 8 pushups and 1 box jump before the timer went off.
My CrossFit coach says I need to work on my shoulder strength. We’re now supposed to be doing pushups the ‘proper’ way. It’s SO much easier to do it the conventional way. However, I need to practice keeping my elbows into my body and not out. His request? 20 pushups three times a week.
However this was a light workout day. The workout itself was practicing levers. Basically the two of us that were in the class that day were channeling our inner child and had to do flips on those gymnast rings and try and curl up into a ball and then straighten yourself, upside down! It was neat. But it definitely worked the abs.

Erin Condren Design

 

Erin Condren

I’m an old school organizer and am constantly writing things down on sheets of paper, on my calendar or in a scrap book. I’m not one to use my cell phone or computer’s calendar. I’m not going to show you what my calendar looks like since it has personal info on it, but it is quite organized! Which is why I’m telling you about I site I found recently. As a Graphic Designer I can totally appreciate what everyone has done to make the website what it is today. I love everything about it.

What I personally love on the site is the personalized weekly planners you can buy. All sorts of designs, all kinds of variety.

The marketing department at Erin Condren graciously gave me a $25.00 gift card to use on their website for my readers! One lucky person will be able to win this gift card and either put it towards something big, or personalize their own notepads and still have a few dollars left over. I also like the iPad stickers. There’s a ton to choose from, so have fun with it!

Just use the rafflecopter form below to enter the contest. Good luck all! Wish I could enter ;)
