Yesterday, I decided to do some serious exercising. I did the scaled "Workout of the Day" from www.crossfitbrandx.com. The workout is named Barbara, as Cross Fit has taken to naming their workouts after soldier who have lost their lives in Afghanistan. I did "Barbara Lite", which consisted of:

Five rounds for time, with three minutes rest between, of:

10 Pull-ups

20 Push-ups

30 Sit-ups

40 Squats

my times ended up looking like:

2:38

2:41

3:14

3:12

3:15

That's a total of 15:01. Including rest: 27:01. This workout kicked my ass. The sit-ups were, by far, the most difficult part for me. My ab strength is significantly lower than what I would like. I'll have to work on that.

I'm supposed to go to kickboxing tonight at 7, but legs are killing me from all the squats, and I don't think I'll be much use. Tomorrow.
