All you can eat Stec

So I finished my first week of crossfit - I have to say, I absolutly love it.  It is exactly what I am going for.  I’m pretty stoaked and diving into it headfirst and soaking up as much knowledge as I can.  I’m trying to progressively move up intensity, but sometimes its hard because the motivation is there.

So before I was doing bodybuilding, and training for 5k’s and 10k’s.  I was so frustrated with the fact that the two were kind of counterproductive.  And on the other hand, I like my body to look better but more importantly, I wanted to be a machine in the gym.  After all the lifting weights that I’ve done in my life, all that it’s really helped me with is squatting a massive amount of weight in a weird way.  Whenever I get to the basketball court or do something else that doesn’t involve lifting or running in a straight line than I quickly get winded.  Crossfit seems to be something that can take me where I want to go in all around fitness, even though it is a unconventional method.

Even better — it involves timed challenges, which is why I love the 5ks!  You do these workouts they post for you, and then you post it and compare with others.

Sure, now I can’t even finish the workouts with the weight and amount they prescribe, but I guarantee I’ll be there in 6 months.   And thats where the fun begins.

Oh, and as far as my gym goes, I spent saturday crafting a medicine ball, parrallelettes, and a 10′ and 20′ plyometrics box so I am good to go.  All three for under 50 bucks!

Oh and I ordered my still rings too so I’m pretty stoaked about that.  I can start working on my muscle ups!
