I attended my first hardcore CrossFit class and it was as difficult as they get. The workout starts with warmup activities followed by mobility activities before the WOD (workout of the day). The WOD sound easy but very difficult!
100 pull up, 100 pushups, 100 situps, and rounded out by 100 squats.
Pull-ups: I used a band to assist me in doing 30 pull-ups then performed jumping pull-ups the rest of the way.
Pushups: the first 50 were not that difficult but from there on it was a massive strugle to finish!
Situps: these you have to touch the floor above your head then the floor in front of you. Sounds easy but this full range of motion sit-up is not that easy when trying to perform 100 in a row.
Squats: now this was by far the easiest task for me and I wipped these out with just a short pause inbetween my to sets of 50. CrossFit squats are below parallel which adds a little difficulty compared to just going to 90 degrees.
All in all a great workout which introduced the most pain to my body in years!
