Snatch

Been following CrossFit.com, albeit a few days behind in the rotation. Instead of back squatting the other day though, I did an hour of oly lifting with the Atlas Lifting team at Fourth Power Fitness.

Can you say "Snatch"?

Good. I knew that you could.

Go say it to your mom.

Did your momma slap you?

Anyhoo my legs are still buzzing from an hour of nothing but oly lifting. And you know how that makes me feel? Super!

On weekends it can sometimes be a bit hard to make it to the gym -- so I did some searching and came up with an extensive list of bodyweight only workouts from Eva T. That list, combined with my kettle bells and ring set mean I really have no excuses if I can't make it to class. Helen leaps to mind, using the rings for pull ups.

There's always something you can do, even if all you have is you. Push ups, situps, pull ups, burpees, walk, jog, run, sprint, squats, one leg pistols if you're capable. The list goes on and on.

On a side note, I told a friend about the shopping on the periphery of the supermarket approach to grocery shopping and she's going to give it a try today.

Still waiting on my CSCS exam results because they needed my CPR/AED certification. Faxed it today so I should have my results within a week.

So now we hurry up and wait.

Down to 189 and 12% bodyfat doing CrossFit and a strict Zone diet

Back on Feb 16th, 2008 got my CrossFit Level 1 Trainer certification.

Taking the CSCS exam Wednesday this week and CPR next week.

Then the hard part -- actually getting started as a trainer. Looking forward to the challenge!
