This afternoon, I went to CrossFit a little early and had some free time... so I worked on a few movements I've struggled with a little, and on some ab/core focused exercises I read about online. One thing I haven't been able to do, or haven't had the confidence to try, is a box jump. Pretty self-explanatory; you stand in front of a sturdy wooden box and... jump up onto it with both feet. Like THIS
So I figured, what the hey, there aren't a lot of people in here who might see me if I make a fool of myself, might as well give it a shot... and I DID IT! Then I did it again, and again, and again. I was excited like a goofy little kid!
Just had to share that. One of my personal greatest accomplishments of late. It felt GREAT!
Lena asked me if I felt like a monkey, making those jumps... I told her no, more like a kangaroo. Hahaha
Ha ha. I am loving CrossFit and gaining the ability to do lots of things I couldn't do before! Firming up, increasing my stamina and gaining confidence!
Can't skip this chance for a shameless plug... gotta support my peeps, the folks who are educating, training, challenging and constantly encouraging me... Geaux CrossFit is near Sherwood/Coursey in Baton Rouge. Geaux has great coaches and lots of people who are working out on a wide range of levels. (In other words, there's a place for everyone, any anyone will fit right in, no matter what your fitness level.)
...AND they are offering 3 free classes for anyone who would like to check it out this month! It's worth checking out.
