Day 6 : Feather Fran

I am really starting to love working out.  I really look forward too it.  I look forward to pushing myself and the pain it causes.  LOL.  Sounds a bit sadistic but it's the only way I can explain it.


Started out with a 300 meter row, squats and stretches to warmup.


We did the workout called the "Feather Fran".  Being my first REAL Crossfit workout we modified it some.  It's supposed to be 21-15-9 reps of Barbell Thursters (Full Squat with Shoulder Press) and Pull-ups.  We scaled it down to 12-9-6 reps and we supplemented Ring Rows (lean back at a sharp angle with gymnastic rings in both hands and pull yourself up) for the Pull-ups.  You are supposed to do everything, non-stop until finished.  I did it in 3mins 25secs but it felt like 10 mins!  It was a tough workout and I'm gonna feel it in the morning.


We covered nutrition today also. The CrossFit organization promotes The Zone Diet which I think is going to be a good match for me.


Oh, I've found one bad thing about my Vibram Five Finger shoes.  If you don't give them enough time to dry after getting wet and start to wear them they get a bit mildewy but I still love them!
