My first crossfit G.I. Jane

As I am focusing on getting better on my body weight exercises with Angie, Annie and Barbara, I now tried G.I. Jane for the first time after a Stronglift 5x5 session. It is hard but easy and fun work out to be recommended to anyone who can do 10+ pull ups in a set for at least once. If you can not do pull ups yet, you shuld start with something easier like 100 push ups for time. My first time clocked for the 100 burpee pull ups was 14:29.

Rather than someone shouting at you, listening to heavy metal, techno or rap while doing my workout or tackle those next 10 cold calls, i like to take ten deep breaths and think about

My first crossfit half marathon row

Usually i lean more towards running than rowing because I can do it outside and also have a change of scenery. However today there was snow and it was damn cold. Me being a sissy i decided to go to the gym and do the scheduled half marathon not by foot, but on a concept 2 rowing machine.

I find it even more surprising that some gyms do not allow this highly effective exercise. Here is your guide on how to get started and then take it to the next level.
