Homemade Group WOD

01.31.12

Today was one of those days at work.  You know the ones where it might have been better if you just stayed home.  Around 11am my computer at work locked up and there was no turning back.  By 4:45pm it was still being worked on by the IT group so I decided to head out early and pick up the munchkins before making our way home.  Since I missed my 6am WOD (workout of the day) I decided to make up my own “homemade” version in the backyard when we got home.  I had two little people join in to do their own CrossFit WOD with me too.  The whole time they were doing their own workout I got a lot of this…..”mommy, do you do this in your CrossFit class?”  Then they would strike a pose of some sort or do some kind of crazy jumping move.  Pretty darn cute but I seriously doubt my coaches would classify them as CrossFit moves….but we will keep that between us because I told two little girls yes.  They seem to think they were pretty cool. 

Here is what my Homemade WOD was made up of:

15 burpees

20 KBS (20 pounds – only thing I have, could have used a heavier KB)

25 DB Walking Lunges (15 pounds each hand)

30 Air Squats

35 Push-ups

40 Sit-ups

50 Double Unders

for 4 sets

And because they were too darn cute I had to capture my little ones at their attempt to do some of the moves I was doing in my WOD.

Here is a burpee, looks more like a good plank move if you ask me but I was told in the most serious voice ever that ”mommy, this is a burpee”.  They think the name burpee is hilarious by the way….I disagree, but only because I hate burpees!

Now I would like to give this move a name but I have nowhere to start.  I was only told that “mommy, I’m doing CrossFit”.  So I will go with that…

She has the same facial expressions I give when I’m doing my WOD’s too.

By the end of our WOD I was a new person, but most of all we all had a bunch of fun.  They both told me they wanted to do it again tomorrow night.  Hmmmm….future CrossFit stars in the making?  And even at 4 years old!

    Heather,

    Firstly, I love your blog! My husband and I are getting into Cross Fit (i’ve been a distance runner my whole life) and I’m extremely interested in the Paleo diet. Also, I found it so exciting that you live near Delray! My in-laws live in Boca Raton and I love it down there (originally from Orlando, myself). I am excited to continue learning from you and would love to chat sometime :-) Take care and keep blogging!
