OK-so when you first get to the gym they have you do 500 M of rowing to warm up and then you have a round of warmups (which for me really felt like a wod, but ya know, I'm a newbie). The warmups were a combo of three rounds of 10 each of wall squats, situps and handstand pushups (of course I did a modified one). I could only do 5 squats each round. For the pushups they have you kneel on a box and touch your head down to the floor. YA, I almost biffed it a couple times. So I get done with the "warmup" (HAHAHA!!) and onto the wod.
For time: (my time was 13:35)
20 box jumps
12 burpees
15 box jumps
9 burpees
10 box jumps
6 burpees
5 box jumps
3 burpees
And yes I finished it!! Can you believe it!? I couldn't believe it myself, but everyone was cheering me on and that really helped. There were four other people in my class today and they have all been doing it for about a month so I felt a little out of place because I am so uncoordinated and overweight, but once we got going you really don't notice anyone else because you are just focusing on your own wod. Everyone is really nice and the music they played was great! I can't wait for Monday!
Holy Crap Liesl! aren't you extremely proud of yourself?????? your workouts are way more intense than mine! wow! what kind of music do they play there? do they talk to you about nutrition or anything like that?...so cool! you ARE AWESOME!!!
