Some of you may know that I am a food coach as well as a personal trainer in addition to my real estate profession. I decided this month to mix it up in my workout by joining a crossfit gym. http://www.crossfitlibertas.com/ is the closest "box" to where I live so I started there on Jan. 4 for the on ramp classes. These are 5 personal training sessions to introduce the moves involved in Olympic weight lifting as well as box jumps and other necessary skills in order to participate in the WOD (work out of the day). I finished on ramp Friday night. So, yesterday was my first official WOD. I joined 10 other members (all at least 2 decades younger than myself) in doing:
106 mountain climbers
152 situps (my tailbone still hurts)
77 dumbbell squats then overhead press
48 double unders (I cannot yet do these with the jump rope and had already done 150 single jumps in the warm up, so skipped this)
Whew, it was exhausting! I was happy to be done with it. I was too busy to watch anyone else but some of the guys were doing 35lb (heaviest in the gym) dumbbell motions. I am somewhat sore today but mostly in my legs. This was a timed workout and quite aerobic!
We had dinner last night at the Blue Canyon at the Hilton Hotel south end of Kalispell. Cozy log interior, fireplace and good food.
Lonely Planet has rated Glacier National Park in the top 10 places to see in the USA in 2013, don't miss out. I checked last week on reservations at the Sperry Chalet in the park, fully booked for next summer! This is a hard hike in and very popular place to over night. Have to shoot for the next year.
Had a grandson's first birthday in WA last weekend so didn't get any skiing in. Turned very cold yesterday so waiting for a warm up. The weather positive is the snow/sun/blue skies we have had the last few days. Snows a little then clears up for a beautiful day!
