WORKOUT 12-4-12

TUESDAY WORKOUT

I'm taking a mix of CrossFit's WOD (Workout Of The Day) and applying a few additional tweeks:

The CrossFit WOD
Five rounds for time of:
50 Double-unders Regular Jump Rope
185 35 pound Push jerk, 10 reps
Rest 1 minute

I just learned that a Double Under is a exercise done on a jump rope in which the rope makes two passes per jump instead of just one. Since I am starting out, I'll scratch the double unders for regular jumps.

A Push Jerk is a progression of the push press in which a forceful hip drive coupled with a drop under the bar--a catch--is used to aid in getting the load overhead. I think I'll start at around 35lbs. (Let's not fool myself to think I could push 185lbs.)

I'm also going to add some abs (Always makes me feel good)
100 Crunches (4 reps of 25)
Ab Planks (3 reps, 20 seconds/rep)  

And, of course I have to get my cardio in:
2 mile run on the treadmill (Goal 20 minutes)

I have about 2 hours until I hit the gym...post soon!
