Trojan Challenge Group Workouts

Due to work/school/work outs/attempting to sleep, I have neglected my blog soooooo here is a very long update.

First off, we are starting off our third week of the Trojan Challenge! So far, I have lost 4 pounds, started toning up, and increased my kettle bell weight! Here are my starting stats (might as well post them):
      Weight: 148
       Body Fat %: 29 % 
I will admit, I was pretty disappointed with my body comps because my weight and body fat increased (thank you holidays) BUT I lost some inches and gained some lean body mass so all in all not too shabby.

 The Trojan Challenge Benchmark took place at Westlake High School on January 8th where we had a group workout and got to meet our team and coaches.


 My challenge team is "Team Domination" aka "Team D" our coaches are Karen and Chris and we pretty much rock.

                Our benchmark work out: (3 rounds, each for time)
                 20 American Swing    
                 40 yard Gasser
                 20 Kettlebell Snatches
                 40 yard Gasser
                 20 Lunge Pass Throughs
                  40 yard Gasser
                  20 Burpees (ugh)
                 * I would like to mention that this is all being done AFTER the 400m run 
                  (while holding our kettle bells)
       
                 Times: (I used a 15 pound bell)
                 Round 1: 4:57
                 Round 2: 5:08
                 Round 3: 5:44
                *This will be repeated at the end of the challenge using the same weight.

Team D finished strong and were supporting each other the whole time, so excited to be on such as awesome team!

On January 15th we had a Kettle Bell skills workshop at the Crossfit Central Gym where we broke up into small groups so we could work on movements and technique. I was able to use the 20lb bell for some movements (weight increase after just one week!!!)











                                                                                  
I had some fellow "Team D" members in my group. Amy rocks the kettle bell so it was great having her in the group with me since she was able to give me some tips.
