Crossfitter

Yesterday Tim and I had our second Crossfit workout. It was not nearly intense as Friday's workout was. We learned how to a dead lift and a push press. Then we did a bunch of them. I used the 15lb. aluminium bar so I could complete the set. We did a 10 set. 10 dead lifts the 10 push presses. Then 9 dead lifts and 9 push presses and so on down the line 8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...done! Not too bad if I do say so myself. Then we wen home to rest for a little while and have dinner. After that we went to yoga with our favorite instructor, Katrina. Ahhh...such a good workout.

The bummer news is that I'm still having issues with my lower back. it's totally a muscle issue I know that. I felt a bit twingey last night after I got home. I think there is a lot of cause and effect going on.

Here is my list of possible causes/effects:
I have really tight hamstrings
I have really thigh calves
My back is weak
My abs are weak
My hips are all whacked out and off balance because of a weak core and tight muscles.

See the problem? *Sigh* I going to go see my doctor to get some PT. I'm also going to do some massage therapy and acupuncture. Bottom line though I think I'm just going to have to take is slow but keep trying to make progress.
