"Dirty 30" & "Kinda A Linda"

Okay, so on Saturday the 7th, we did a workout called "The Dirty 30" and rightfully named is all I can say... here's what it was:

30 double unders (jump rope with the rope going around 2x in one jump - or 120 single jump ropes)
30 situps
30 Kettleball raises
30 Jumping Squats - (basically a squat where you slap your hands on the ground then jump up)
30 Push Ups
30 Wall Balls
And REPEAT!
This one took me 15:29 and wow did it kick my bum . . . I'm starting to realize that if the workout has a name - it's going to be a rough one!


On Sunday I had an Endurance Day so I decided to swim - this time WITH goggles! And boy does THAT make a difference! The workout was 50meters as hard as you can and time it - however long it took to do that 50m, multiply that by 5 and that's your recovery time. (So it took me 30 secs to swim 50, so I rested 2 and a half minutes) Then you repeat this 10X. Now I'm not the biggest swimmer so I was a little shocked how out of breath I was after each 50m - it was definitely an endurance workout!


I actually am in MN right now visiting family but I wanted to keep up with the workouts - so I looked online and found a Crossfit pretty close to where I'm staying. I went to the 6pm workout which was great - they said any Crossfitter is welcome, so I hopped on with their group. Things work a bit differently there but it was still a fun and hard workout:

"Kinda A Linda"
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 (so 10 of each of the following, then 9 of each, 8 of each, etc.)
-Deadlift - I did 95#
-Ring Push-Ups (they had their rings a lot closer to the ground)
-Front Squats

(Ring Push-Ups - and believe me... they are as hard as they look - I had to do them from my knees!)

Hope things are going well or you are just enjoying hearing about the pains of training ; )
