The Newlywed Life

Hi, I'm Aly! Welcome to where I share my thoughts on working out, food, fashion and all things pretty. I am striving to balance a career that I love with being a wife, friend and hopeful marathoner. Thanks for visiting - I hope you stay awhile.

10-10-10 - Crossfit WOD

Crossfit seems to be the newest workout trend to hit the fitness world/blogosphere. This morning was my first time trying this heart pumping strength and cardio combo workout - check out this video for more details.

My first intro to Crossfit was gentle with an at home workout of the day (WOD) that I modified from Carrots N Cake. This 10-10-10 WOD includes 10 reps/sets of bicep curls, push-ups and squats. The goal is to complete the sets back-to-back without resting and as fast as possible (while maintaining your form).

After an easy 3.5 mile I completed all 10 sets in just under 12 minutes. Don’t be fooled by how short this WOD is, it is hard! My arms were seriously shaking after 100 push-ups.

Post-marathon training I’d love to participate in a few Crossfit sessions. In the meantime, I’ll be focusing on short and sweet at home WODs.

Are you a fan of Crossfit? I’d love to hear what your fave WOD is.
