hooray for crossfit!

I don’t always like it when chris has to work later than usual (7pm is late enough, right?) but when it means he gets to come to the later crossfit class with me & anabelle it totally makes up for it.  it’s great to workout together, to cheer each other on (and show off a smidge), plus i could use the extra help lately.  anabelle has been getting a bit frustrated at the gym since she’s not allowed to go in every little corner she pleases – it’s just not safe.  a clingy baby makes it a bit tricky to get all of your burpees and pullups done, especially when it’s a workout for time (oh & our friend brooke hasn’t been there as much since she had shoulder surgery); but i’m not complaining, just sharing.

this morning’s workout was tough, but awesome.  by the end we had done a total of 70 pullups and 70 burpees.  anabelle had a great morning, wahoo!  we decided to shoot a few short videos while we were stretching and cooling off. 

we had some fun last night trying to get anabelle to walk from one of us to the other.  she was taking 4 and 5 steps at a time!  she seems to be getting the hang of it.  i have my eye on the sweet kicks for her once she’s up & running big girl style.

anabelle helping papa stretch, sort of.

considering climbing the rope.

we realized she was doing ‘feet first’ even getting off this 2 inch mat.  funny girl.

 

aahh, the fan!

check out those knees.  this kiddo gets so dirty at the gym.  pretty cute though, i think she even has a smudge on her forehead here.  build those immunities, little one!

maybe next time we can get a few videos of us actually working out or anabelle practicing her squats or deadlift form.

hopefully we’ll be back in the morning.  3 – 2 – 1 . . .

(for non-crossfitters, that’s how you start every workout or every round or a workout)

on that note, if there are any non-crossfitters reading this and interested in crossfit, it’s awesome.  i definitely recommend it.  any level, any age – you will be challenged and you will be strong!
