First CrossFit Workout of the New Year – Dead Lift, Thrusters, L-Pull-ups and Run
Ah, the first CrossFit workout of the year today and it was a good one! It was the first time that we’ve introduced L-Pull-ups into the workout and they are not easy to do. I was able to do a pretty good number of them, but not the full number in the WOD (had to fall back to regular pull-ups). So, I have some work to do!

Wow. Today in my morning CrossFit class we tried out our new Prowler weighted sled. The Prowler is one of the best ways to develop strength in your legs, hips and arms.

Rain, rain won’t go away, so we did more Stretching, Flexibility, Mobility and Recovery. Be Stronger. Get Faster. Avoid Injuries!
