So I started crossfit. Most of you know that being buff is one of those really important things to me. Sexy arms on a girl or a guy is always a little amazing to me. And I want buff arms.
So...I heard about this crossfit thing originally from my sister's husband Adam. There were only about 200 gyms nationwide a couple years ago, but now there are about 2000. Including one put on by my hospital. 5 minutes from my house. I think that's a sign.
Crossfit is basically a million pull-ups and push-ups and some lifts combined with a little running and rowing. I'm on my 4th week and I've never been so sore in my entire life on a consistent basis. Let's be honest, I haven't lifted this consistently since high school (I go 3 times a week). I have to use a band to help me do all my pull-ups (because last week, we did 115 one day), but I still feel stronger.
This picture is not me or my friends. And my gym is not in the woods. It's actually little and not very pretty, but I think that's the point. Crossfit started in people's garages.
The classes have only about 5 people in each of them, which means we all are really good at supporting each other and expecting the others to show up.
I graduate from "Essentials" to real "Crossfit" next week. We'll see if I die. Whoo-hoo!

I have only seen one in PC... and it wasn't in the woods but if this was in my woods I would be doing this!
So impressed. I'm fairly certain I couldn't even do ONE pull-up.
I so need to do this. Sounds awesome.
Good for you! I'm starting p90x and I'm pumped to have buffer arms too. I expect a before and after picture...!!!
You go girl! that's awesome! :)
Okay girls, she is not doing pull ups in the woods. No woods at all. However.
It is hard. I might have thrown up ten minutes into the first class I went to. I have been doing better since.
You go girl....sexy arms are a must!
