CrossFit WOD: 10 ladder with some fun!

The best thing about CrossFit, aside from the results, is the constantly varied workouts one can do. If you really wanted, you could never do the same workout twice. That is what I love about this. I'm not bored, I'm enjoying putting myself (and others) through this kind of variation. Keep the body guessing - that is what gets results.

After our son, who is in quite the pain due to his 6-month shots, went to bed, my wife and I headed out to the very active and public street in front of our house. The best thing about it being busy is that a LOT of people look at us and even stop to ask what it is we are doing. Anyway, we headed out to to take on this fun WOD (idea was from Rogue Fitness's WOD today):
10-9-800M run-7-6-5-400M run-3-200M run-1 ladder of:

Sumo-deadlift high pulls (95lb/45lb women)
Squat jumps
Burpees.

So in other words, on any of the numbers above besides the running part, you do the exercises above. It makes for a great way to get the running in and it keeps thing varied and fun.

I didn't time myself today, neither did Amy. I was going to have the 200M run with 95lb overhead but there were too many people walking outside and the darkness made it a bit unsafe.

On a side note, I love working out with my wife. She's such a trooper.

Until next time,

Tyler

  1. Tyler do you know of any places that offer classes in Green bay for crossfit. Can an out of shape person handle these workouts?
