This week marked the 4th week of doing CrossFit at Solcana<\/a>. \u00a0I wrote about some of my initial thoughts here<\/a>. \u00a0One month in and I would say it is going pretty well. \u00a0Getting up at 5am 3 days a week is a little challenging, but knowing that I’ve “registered” for the class pushes me to get out the door. \u00a0I’ve been riding my bike as it is only 1 mile away. Some days after working out it is a little hard to ride home. \u00a0My arms are wobbly on the bike!!<\/p>\n

Last week a co-worker asked me if \u00a0I feel any stronger. I kind of laughed as most days I feel weak or sore from having worked out! But I have felt stronger when working out\u00a0so that is good. \u00a0Plus, 4 weeks isn’t really enough time to really see or \u00a0feel much difference yet. \u00a0It takes at least 6 weeks to really see or feel differences.<\/p>\n

I’ve been posting pictures of the workouts on my Instagram feed.<\/p>\n

Some have been super-crazy like Jackie on Crackie:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And others are a little more normal… \u00a0like “The 7”<\/p>\n

\"IMG_20140707_071905\"<\/a>No wait, that was brutal! \u00a0My sister and I had been discussing CrossFit and some of the crazy things that happen, like tire flipping. \u00a0Well, that week some tires appeared at the box! And sure enough we got it out and flipped it down the alley in teams!<\/p>\n

Last week, I had to workout at home and I was given a great sheet of “at home” or “road” workouts. \u00a0Some are super-crazy, so I picked a few that seemed tamer like this one below:\u00a0

 <\/p>\n

So all in all, it has been a good month. \u00a0One of my concerns about joining was the timing of it all. \u00a0Would I actually be able to get workouts in or not. \u00a0I missed 3 workout sessions at the box over the month, which isn’t too bad. \u00a0All of them were related to Christy’s work schedule. \u00a0It is hard to find a babysitter for 5am!! \u00a0It is good to have a class to attend and the accountability that it brings. \u00a0Plus having a coach there to teach and encourage has been extremely valuable and the main reason I wanted a box – not to mention all the equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
