Good Morning!

My week is off to a good start, and I hope yours is too!

I thought I'd talk a bit about my training this morning. I know a bunch of my teammates are doing bootcamp training with Lawrence Ringwald, and seem to be enjoying it. I have chosen to stick with my regular training (CrossFit) and have added hot yoga (at Pure Yoga Ottawa) and will be starting to go for some hikes again in Gatineau. I try to get in 3 CrossFit workouts and at least 3 hours of Yoga a week; however, some weeks just get a little busy and the plan that week goes by the wayside.....

Anyways, this week is certainly off to a good start with respect to training!
Last night I was at CrossFit O-Town. The CrossFit classes are an hour long and broken into two sections, a "skill" and a "Workout of the Day' (WOD). The skill portion is a focus on a lift, while the workout is like a circuit with a time element. If you want to see what the workouts look like, go to the link to my gym's website on the right side of my blog : - )

So the workout started with squat-clean thrusters - got to 1 rep at 40kg (not bad, not my best either)
and then did the WOD which was:
30-20-10 Wall Balls; Pull Ups; Pistols - 15 minutes of this for as many rounds as possible. I did two rounds and was 20 wall balls into my third round when time ran out....

Then did both of Todd's classes at Pure Yoga. There's nothing like a hot yoga class to help stretch everything out and get you relaxed before bed! I've been doing the hot yoga a month now, and I'm already seeing improvement with my flexibility.

The plan for the rest of the week is to do both today, Thursday, Friday and then to just do Yoga on Sunday.

I'm also starting to plan a lifting event at CrossFit O-Town, and I will of course keep posting details on here about it as more gets set up.

Thanks for reading!!
