Tavia.. question for you
So I was just reading your cute little blog. And I wanted to learn more about CrossFit. Can you educate me please? I have another friend who does it and seems to like it. I need a good workout motivator and this seems to be super successful.. so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

Re: Tavia.. question for you
We love CrossFit! We do a lot of Olympic lifting/military style workouts. The idea of lifting weights (HEAVY weights) was horrifying to me at first...mainly because I didn't want to "bulk up" (which is ridiculous) but now I really like it. The WODs (workout of the day) are very intense and usually around 30 minutes. For example.... this was what we did Tuesday:
For time...
25 Back squats
25 Front squats
25 OH squats
400m run
25 Press
25 Push press
25 Push Jerk
400m run
25 Deadlift
50 Cleans
400m run
50 Snatch
400m run
We do each WOD as a group at whatever class time you chose and there is always a trainer there to help and encourage the class.
Here is our box's description of crossfit: http://edmondcf.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=5
I'm not sure where you live, but there are CrossFit gyms all over the metro. Edmond, NW OKC, S OKC, Yukon/Mustang, Moore.... those are the ones I know of.
Here is kind of a cool video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w9E-dgLUT4
It shows a lot of the different things we do for WODs...and a lot of the hard bodies CF creates
They show a guys ripped up hand about 0:50 into the video and I'm not going to lie... my hands look like that about 50% of the time.
Anyway. Hope this helps!
