I am a fan of trying out new types of workouts but for some reason, I have had no interest in trying out Crossfit. My boyfriend is an avid Crossfit goer and attends classes at least five times a week, usually the 6am classes. I decided to go try with him one morning while I was in Richmond and was pleasantly surprised with my time at CrossfitRVA. Although I do not think I will begin to go on a weekly basis, I enjoyed trying out a new type of workout and was very impressed by the strength and focus of many of the class attendees. The WOD (workout of the day) was a mix of strength and cardio. We first had to do as many pull ups as we could do in a certain amount of minutes and then did a workout on a rowing machine. It was a great workout and not quite as scary as I thought; I might even go again :)
Back in Atlanta, I have found a gym I enjoy going to every so often called The Training Room that is Crossfit style but in my opinion, a little less intense. I did my first deadlifts and box jumps this week, all at a weight and speed in which I was comfortable. It has been fun mixing up my normal routine of barre, yoga and cardio with strength training - I am happy to use ClassPass so I can explore lots of different workouts and keep my routine varied.
