After a brief stopover in Sydney and a quick trip to Melbourne to give mum and dad a cuddle before jumping on yet another plane, I finally found my way over to Perth to begin a new and exciting chapter in my life. I have enrolled myself in a Personal Training Course for two months with the Australian Institute of Fitness due to commence on August 22, 2011, and before I get started back into full time study I wanted to try out a few different Crossfit gyms in the area and make use of my time during the day (along with finding a car, house and part time job).
The first gym was Southern Crossfit in Willeton. The gym is an enormous facility with a huge area designated for stretching, rolling out and flexibility (something which I need to do more of). The coaches there are young and upbeat and geared towards success. So after a warm up of light weights and mobility it came down to the workout. This workout was called Isabel and she was not very kind to me!
WOD: “Isabel”
30 snatches at 42.5kgs for time
Time = 6:04
After having quite some time away from weightlifting with my travels, I thought I had better ease up on the weights a bit and lighten the weight in order not to compromise my technique and/or cause myself an injury. I took the weight down to 35kgs and that was certainly enough to get me breathing heavily and taking a number of breaks.
