Success: Day 1 of Working Out before 9 a.m.

Had a rough start but I made it to a 6 a.m. CrossFit class. Whew! It was well worth the loss of sleep. Happy that I’ve finally got over myself and my nervousness of moving to the next level. 
Thankfully Kevin and Karen were there this morning so it’s always nice to see familiar faces besides the trainer. Brenda was also there from my CFE clinic. One of the Ignite’s owners, Ian, was our instructor. I’ve never done a class with him. Like the other trainers, he was super helpful and friendly. It’s always nice to hear the tips from another trainer. I need all the help I can get. 
Our WOD wasn’t complicated. (See the picture to the right.) The WOD is always posted on the Ignite FB page the night before. I love this. I can mentally prepare myself for the workout. More likely I will probably psych myself out! 

Another success! I finally moved from the dowel to an actual barbell for the snatch. Every time we’ve practiced in class, I’ve always pictured smacking myself in the face with the bar. Needless to say, I’ve shied away from using the barbell. But today I didn’t think too much about it. Instead I grabbed a training bar before I could change my mind. Likely it was because I was half asleep.

Karen and I were partners. We stayed with the bar while Ian made ensure our technique was bang on. I don’t have it down 100 per cent. But I am happy with my little head way.

On to the handstand push-ups… well that was interesting. Ian showed us a modified version on the bench which I opted for. I don’t have the strength yet in my upper body. One day.

The rest of the day I was like a zombie. I can’t wait to sleep tonight. I am going to sleep in until 6 a.m. Whoo hoo!
