I’m trying out the Crossfit gym up the street from me. It’s a tiny little studio. Good thing there was just two of us in the beginners/essentials class. In addition to learning correct posture and positioning for a variety of lifting exercises, we did a quick workout of:

• Run 300m
• 5 back squats
• 7 deadlifts
• 9 box jumps

Repeat 3x

I was freaked about not injuring myself doing those deadlifts. In fact it was the box jumps then running that made me feel weak in the knees (and not in that romance novel kind of way)

I like it. I suspect this will be a new way to meet some neighbors since it is so close to me.we’ll see how the remaining 3 essentials classes go…
