Was in Singapore on the first weekend of June for the Crossfit Level 1 certification course and good news – passed it and am now a certified Crossfit instructor :D wOOt! Friends have asked whether or not I’ll be going into that anytime soon. The answer is, most probably not. Due to my busy schedule of shoots, edits and appointments, I won’t be able to commit myself to the time needed to work my way to becoming a full time trainer. Getting the certification was just something that I wanted to do, on a personal level, to have a deeper understanding about Crossfit. Even then, the cert is just a small part of it. So, so much more knowledge and time would be required to becoming a trainer.
On another note, Bought a pair of Komodo Vibrams when I was in Singapore and have been wearing them for all my workouts since. Maybe because I workout barefoot at Pushmore, but I’ve yet to feel a massive diff by wearing these shoes. Besides the fact they keep my footsoles clean that is ;p Will find some time to run at the park to test these babies out soon.
WOD060611 (Mon)
21 – 15 – 9 reps for time of;
Backsquats 40kg
HSPU
Results: 6:55
Could’ve gone a bit heavier than RXed, but decided to work on my form instead. Backsquats were stable except for the last few reps where my knees were starting to give when I didn’t focus. HSPU are getting deeper but I still can’t achieve head-to-floor :( This will happen soon. With more practise :p
WOD060811 (Wed)
10 rounds for time of;
10 medicine ball clean 5kg
10 pull ups
Results: 12:15 (scaled to 6 rounds only)
Headed to Core at Centrepoint and did this WOD with Sam. Gonna redo this when I’m not so rushed for time!
