Cross Fit Day#11

Tonights workout was called 7 Deadly Sins..I was scared to death!!!
we did 7 rounds for time of the following:
7 knee to bar
7 single leg arm curls, left leg
7 double unders
7 single leg arm curls, right leg
7 double unders
7 hand stand push ups
7 sit ups
**repeat x 7**
My time was 25:53, right at average for the day..
-Knee to bar is crazy hard and there is the real way to do it and then 2 modifications that are easier but still hard..I just did knee lifts and they killed my abs, loved it.
-Single leg arm curls are tricky..you have to balance on one leg while you do 7 arm curls. the thing i love about it is it forces you to tighten your core so you don't loose your balance, you feel the pain in muscles you never thought existed..the prescribed weight for women was 20 lbs..I wanted to try 20 but used 15 cause the 20's were always taken..
-double unders, urgh!! all i wanna do is just one, they are so hard..the alternative is doing high knee touches..i lost time on this cause i faithfully tried and tried to do double unders the first 3 rounds. for 4 to 7 i gave up and did the knee touches instead.
-hand stand push ups..i think are easier if you weigh almost nothing or you are super duper strong..Ryan held my legs while i did my first set and i was swearing and almost fell on my head, so the next rounds i did on the huge tractor tire instead..kneeled on the tire with my knees on the edge and my hands clear on the floor and did push ups that way..holy hard!!!

this day was kinda dumb..cody was home puking all day so i had to take lucan with me..he screamed my last 4 rounds..but in a way it was good cause i kicked it in gear and got done fast so that i could rescue him from poor Ryan..

The trainers at Edge have a way with boosting your self esteem..whether what they say is true or not or its part of them keeping you motivated, i don't know. All i do know is, when they compliment me on progress from day one, how I struggled so hard and how the workouts seem so easy now as they watch me. and how i look like i have more definition in my arms, it makes me feel like i am really accomplishing something and moving in the right direction..
