This morning I decided to venture back into the pool. I am a terrible swimmer but, enjoy the work. I swam for 1000 meters alternating breathing patterns and strokes. If anybody has any tips for a neophyte swimmer, please share. The other part of this mornings workout is the 300 workout. The term came from the movie "300" and the fitness program used to get the actors in shape. This fits nicely with Crossfit workouts and is a challenge. The premise is to do a total of 300 reps of various exercises ,meant to engage the whole body. The reps are supposed to be timed but, since I do these at home or the gym and have to set up or rest, I just try to work through each exercise until muscle failure. If that means I only do 15 pullups and have to rest to get to 25, so be it. I do modify the workout to meet my needs but, keep the core premise. Here is today's 300 workout:
50 step ups onto 24" box- 25 each leg
50 deadlifts with 100 lbs. concentrating on form
50 pushups
50 sit up crunches/ leg extensions
50 clean and press w/ 45 lb bar
25 air squats on bosu ball
25 situps on incline board holding 25lb weight to chest
300 total reps- Whew!
