Subject: Did CrossFit WOD on Monday. Wow!

I officially joined a gym Monday and did a modified version of their WOD.  It was:

5 sets involving:
400m run
30 box jumps (24" box)
30 wall shots (20 lb ball) [repeat all]

I had to modify the last one because there is NO good place to do a wall shot at the gym.  They have most of their walls mirrors.  So I used yoga/pilates ball under my back, picked up an 8 lb ball and tossed towards a 45 degree trampoline (so the ball would come back to me).  After catching it, I continued a backward motion, and then came forward to repeat.

Holy cow!  My abs are still feeling it, and I took a rest day (e.g., 3.5 mile run day) yesterday.  I'm headed back to the gym tonight, and I'm curious to see how my body responds.

Thanks for all the suggestions to use CrossFit.  So far, it's kicking my ****.

If you go hard every workout, which you really have no choice but to, you'll be sore for several months.

I started going in late Dec/Jan and I'm still sore after each workout. They say it gets better....but its so awesome! Congrats!

Welcome to the wonderful world of pain and progress (some days it feels a lot more like the former than the latter).
