CROSSFIT

 

 Physical training has always been something of endless fascination to me. Having read so many reviews about the benefits of CrossFit, I decided to take a look for myself. I really want to notice a change in my body. I have always been very lean, a natural runner, but I long for more muscle mass and a stockier frame. I want to be strong, not skinny.  

On Monday I attended my first CrossFit session at CrossFit Colchester. The coaches were really friendly and we got started straight away.

Warm up squats - 3 sets of 5  

Main set - 4 x 9 squats - 30kg - every 3 minutes - 

Workout Of The Day then followed.

50 air squats

15 wall balls 

15 box jumps

10 burpees 

10 lunges

Do it for 20 minutes     

It doesn't seem like long. I can tell you now, it was brutal! 

To say I was exhausted, post workout, is an understatement. I have never felt so depleted of energy in all my life! My legs felt like they were going to  underneath me on the walk home! But I LOVED it. The sweat, the determination, the atmosphere in the gym. It felt amazing to be a part of that positive energy.
