The Tummy tucking flab busters of BYC 2012

[un-named]

Got my 30 in on the elliptical but am having a late supper. Maybe I will read on the treadmill for half an hour, but I'm feeling lazy about dressing up and going out into the cold to walk to the barn.......

What is the medicine ball jump complex? I hope you don't mind sharing your WOD for crossfit at my request; I find them fascinating! Is that you in your avatar? If it is I'm already jealous!!!!

You're very sweet, lol! Yes, that's me last year, just starting Crossfit. More importantly, that's Bella, who we were trying to hypnotize for a video! ;-) I love talking about CF and any other program I'm working with! The medicine ball complex for our CF is this layout: medicine ball (about twice the size of a basketball), then 18" box jump platform, then medicine ball. You have to jump over the first ball, then jump on (or over) the box jump, then over the medicine ball. It's not hard, but it gets repetitive (that's where you start making mistakes) and it's easy to trip up and fall!

Any other martial artists?

Well I have lost 1 lb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am happier and feel less bloated for sure but still struggle with the odd bit of contraband I find in the cupboard. Mint dark chocolate fingers were my downfall last night

Oesdog - ok and the beer!

Is this the same crossfit that you see on television? That is a VERY TOUGH workout.

I just sliced myself up a pile of sausage and cheese and sat down to read through how well everyone else is doing.

If it's the Crossfit games by reebok, yes, it is....but what you see on tv is the elite of the elite. Like Olympic level elite. All across the US....you have Crossfit gyms that serve just the plain regular folks like myself, lol! So if you're just getting started, overweight, bad back, etc, you "scale" or "modify" your moves so you can work up to your own personal goals. I like the motivation, accountability and support I get at my "box" (fancy term for CF gym)! Look one up in your area and try a trial class!

Yes, it was the elite of the elite. I was tired just watching them.

Our local gyms suck. Nothing like that around here.
