I went up to CFCP after work on Friday feeling tired and really not interested in working out. I wouldn’t have gone if not for Victoria egging me on, encouraging me that it would make me feel better.

It was an interesting class as it was my first with [now] Coach Trevor!

We started off with the new standard warm up… 6-count burpees, high-knees, butt-kicks, push ups, squats, etc. We then did the following:

1. Tabata Push Ups – I think I scored 66 on this.
2. 3×10 Back Squats – This sort of scared me as this is how I hurt my back. I took it REALLY easy on these and used 45#, 75#, and 105#. I asked Trevor to keep a really close eye on my form. I used a ball to make sure I wasn’t going too low. I went slow and stayed REALLY conscious of what I was doing making sure to hit all of my points on the back squat (toes curled up, weight on my heels, chin and chest up, etc).
3. “Annie” – If you don’t know, Annie is a 50-40-30-20-10 scheme of double-unders and sit ups. I had to modify this heavily. At first, I thought the only mod I would need is to do singles as the impact from doubles still makes my back feel not so great. I did 2x on the jumps, so 100-80-60-40-20. On my first set of sit ups, I got to about 35 and then my ab muscles started cramping really hard every time I sat up, to the point where I couldn’t do sit ups! How frustrating. I finished the WOD out doing crunches. I think my time was in the 7:50ish area.
