The Sport of Fitness

This is a pretty cool video Reebok will be airing on TV to promote their partnership with CrossFit.  Pretty cool.

What I did today...

Warm Up:

- 3 games of Ping Pong (if you doubt that it's a good warm up, try it!)

- Samson Stretch

- Jump Rope

Strength Work

Power Cleans (3@70%, 80%, and 90% of 265):

Warm Up Sets:  45x5, 95x4, 135x3

Work Sets:

- 186x3

- 212x3

- 239x3

Weighted Pull Ups:

- 15x3

- 25x3

- 35x5

- Body Weight x 8, 7, 4 (Enough to finish out 30 total reps of pull ups)

Conditioning

50-Yard Hill Sprints:

- 10 sprints resting only long enough to walk back to the starting line

I love sprints for conditioning and for lower body strength and power.  The weather has been unseasonably warm, so I thought I'd take advantage and get some sprint work in.  If you have the opportunity to sprint once or twice a week at varying distances I think you'll be pleased with what it does for your fitness levels.  I need to get back to doing them more regularly.
