Here’s a couple of crossfit workouts that will make it difficult to walk for the remainder of the week:
Put on a flak jacket with about 30-40 pounds of armor. Then perform 3 sets of the following:
A couple days later, perform 6 sets of pull-ups, sit-ups, and lunge 100 yards:
21 reps, then 18, then 15, 12, 9, and finally 6.
It’s been a while since I posted up.
This workout sucks. It goes like this:
15 Burpees
1 Squat, 14 Burpees
2 Squats, 13 Burpees
3 Squats, 12 Burpees…
[You get the point. Continue until you do..]
14 Squats, 1 Burpee
15 Squats.
Good Luck.

My wife and I just got back from an evening run around the neighborhood. She has been off-and-on with her diet and fitness and she is excited to be running again. She said, “Even if it isn’t a fast run, it is still better than not doing any exercise at all.” That’s the truth. Also, it is nice to spend time together while also improving our cardiovascular health. A spouse can make a great running partner. We saw some other couples out running tonight; we aren’t the only ones improving our fitness levels and quality of life. =)
Exercise for time days are tough because they are not only muscular, but cardiovascular. Here is was my routine looked like today:
- 5 push-ups
- 10 pull-ups
- 15 knees to elbows (on the pull-up bar)
- 20 deep squats
- 1/4 mile run
This 5 set routine is repeated 4 times, for a total of 20 push-ups, 40 pull-ups, 60 knees to elbows, 80 squats, and a 1 mile run. It is performed quickly, and measured for time. I completed it in 15:30 today.
