My CrossFit experience
Before beginning our sweat session, Coach RJ taught us all about CrossFit and what it really is about, because normally people think that CrossFit's workout is incredibly intense and will make you automatically think that, "I'M GONNA DIE!!" But no! It's all about training our bodies for anything that we might encounter. The Goal is all about General Physical Preparedness for everyday tasks. They are also here to improve the following:
- Strength
- endurance
- flexibility
- stamina
- speed
- power
- balance
- coordination
- agility
- accuracy
Their method is constantly varied, so you don't get bored and it's high intensities. Don't be scared about that, because the high intensity is about what YOU can handle.
If you follow my Instagram, you would have seen the video glimpse that we did 5 rounds of Body Rows (which is what I'm doing above), Squats, 1 arm Kettlebell carry and Push-ups all done in the span of 8 minutes. There was a choice to do it in 6 minutes, but the daring girls Ana, Arnie and I were, we chose to do the longer one. Lubosin na natin diba?? Go for the gold! Haha!=P
I initially feared for our trial workout. We kept saying how nervous we were, but it turned out to be really fun! We learned so much. Like who would have known that workout actually needed proper posture? We had to maintain that the whole time we were doing drills. I'm trying to practice that a lot since I have bad posture. Errr... -_-
At the end of our workout, I could now say that I don't fear fitness or workouts anymore. Because there are workouts that won't make you thin, but actually build your muscles if you barely have any. Plus, it can tone your body and prepare you for whatever you have to face in your daily life.
I owe Beb Ana and CrossFit for opening my eyes to a healthier me!:) Thank you for vanquishing my fear! Now I can't wait to attend more fitness programs. ^_^ Yes to fitness!!! And now I can be ready for anything….even the Zombie apocalypse! Hehe!
