The Stadium revisited

After watching Pohl and Sbraccia suffer on the stadium last Sunday I had to give this one a try. Rather than going solo, I brought a whole crew along with me. We even had someone try Crossfit for the first time: Seager's roommate, Johnny. With 7 people out there, it was definitely a motivating environment. So much so that the girl's basketball team running laps on the track gave us funny looks. I know they wish their conditioning was as cool as Crossfit, but just did not want to say it. If you have been keeping up with the blog then you know what the workout is, but for all the new readers out there I will put it up again.

4 rounds for time:
25 pushups
hop up the stadium steps
50 air squats
bear crawl down the stadium steps

This was a killer workout. There was some muscular failure involved, but it was definitely weighted more toward respiratory fatigue as all the movements were bodyweight. The repeated bodyweight movements jacked up the heart rate and made it feel like you were breathing in thin mountain air. Here are everyone's times:

Brandon 10:32
Nate  12:13
Johhny 14:55
Brieg 17:55
Pyne 18:42
Drew 21:03
Charity 16:30 (2 rounds) Mad respect for being the only girl out there. If you are a girl reading this blog, Crossfit is not just for guys. It is for all citizens. That means men, women, children, boys, girls and yes even senior citizens. No excuses.
