A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.
Happy Monday! This weekend was solid and I got a lot of stuff done. I love a productive Sunday and now I am ready to conquer the week. It is almost February (where did the time go?!) and this is the time a lot of people get off track from their fitness goals, or any goals in general really.
Have you been keeping true to yours? I made some resolutions and while I have been hitting the gym hard, I haven’t been working too much on my weaknesses. Except for squatting, I have been doing that at least once a week. With life being crazy and sometimes going 10 different directions at once, it is still important to put yourself first. Take time for yourself to accomplish what you want to. Even if it is just 10 minutes a day, those minutes will add up in the long run!
Sunday – CrossFit City Limits workout
Marston:
1 deadlift (405/285)
10 toes to bar
15 bar facing burpees
I missed this workout the other week and wanted to do it. It was mostly burpees the whole time, but I don’t mind that. I finished with 8 rounds using 205#. The deadlifts are supposed to be heavy!!
Monday – CrossFit City Limits Endurance workout
row:
12 x 2:00 (2:00 rest)
I averaged about 460-480m per round.
Tuesday – CrossFit City Limits workout
3×5 Anderson front squats
3 RFT:
30 hang power cleans (115/80)
30 wallballs (20/14)
30 calorie row
I finished in 19:02 using 65#. Definitely not the best performance, but that’s okay. Rowing in WODs usually gets me. Also, Anderson front squats are a lot harder than your average front squat. Here is a video of me doing them if you want to try them out!
Wednesday – CrossFit City Limits Endurance workout
21-18-15-12-9-6-3
overhead squats (75/45)
lateral burpees
*30 double unders after each round
I finished in 15:35 RX. Last time I did this workout was 3 years ago and finished in 21:48 so I was happy with that time. My double unders were not on either.
Thursday – CrossFit City Limits workout
3×5 snatch (with empty barbell)
3×5 clean & jerk (with empty barbell)
5 RFT:
10 deadlifts (185/135)
20/15 assault bike calories OR 25/20 calorie row
30 abmat sit-ups
40 double dnders
I finished in 16:36 using 125#. I really liked this workout and did pretty well at it compared to some others. My abmat sit-ups are pretty fast so that helps me. Also I did every round but 1 unbroken for the double unders which felt pretty great after the day before they weren’t happening. We alternated between rowing and the assault bike since we have limited bikes.
Friday – CrossFit City Limits workout
2 RFT:
21 overhead squats (75/55)
21 chest to bar pull-ups
21 power snatches
21 lateral burpees
I finished in 13:39 using 55#
Saturday – rest day

So I think it’s so cool that Crossfit workouts are so intense and short! I’m training for a long race right now, but I LOVE Cross Fit Style/HIIT workouts on off days. I’m trying to do more short workouts instead of always doing long ones.

Yes! I incorporated them when I was marathon training and they helped a ton! It’s great to mix it up and longer workouts are not always better. Let me know if you have any questions about them!
