Thank goodness we are back. We really missed CFCP, in case you haven’t noticed. Working out in other boxes really drove home the fact that CFCP is totally awesome and really, the best place you could ever go to work out.

Last night’s fun consisted of:

• 25 burpees
• 50 squats
• 25 burpees
• 50 back extensions
• 25 burpees
• 50 push ups
• 25 burpees
• 50 sit ups

Originally, the burpees were supposed to be 500m rows, but Nikki made an executive decision to sub them. I am assuming probably because we didn’t have enough rowers. This took me 21:18 to do.

What went well?

The squats and back extensions were OK.

What needs improvement?

My sit ups always need improvement. My push ups were OK, but I was running into a lot of muscle failure, so I could only get 1-3 push ups at a time. Sandwiched between 25 burpees, it was rough.

Really though, what needs improvement is my “keep going”. I took lots of breaks and did the burpees pretty slowly.

Overall feel

Not too bad. I would have liked to break 20 minutes on this one, but really, after the month we just had, I am happy to be back, sweating, moving, and going in the right direction. I was definitely breathing hard, but I found that the weak link was my upper body just giving out.
