Winter WOD Killa {Playlist}

November 28, 2012 by Hillary 7 Comments

I may have my Mama Hill moments and listen to Amos Lee and Colbie Caillat, but let me tell you a secret. When it comes gym time, the dirty the music, the better.

I try to avoid listening to the lyrics (because I know I’d be appalled if I did), but I’m all about the “ghetto” tunes when it comes to producing that epic endorphin high.

I put together a playlist of some tracks that have been getting me pumped up at the box this winter, killin’ WOD after WOD.

What kind of music do you listen to while getting after it?

How do you #getafterit?

I wasn’t supposed to run today – according to my new 10K Training Plan – but I couldn’t stop myself.

I hopped on the treadmill for a version of my 4-3-2-1 treadmill workout (20 minutes // 2.75 miles).

After wiping off the sweat, I was super excited to change into my new Reebok #getafterit tee that I won from Healthy Ashley!

It was exactly the fitspiration I wanted to wear to my surprise WOD:

Tentative fitness schedule for Thanksgiving week:

M – CrossFit + 2.75 mi. run

T – CrossFit + 3 mi. run

W – CrossFit

Th – 4 mi. tempo run

F – Rest Day or Easy Run (traveling)

Sa – Rest Day or Easy Run (traveling)

Su – 4 mi. run

Burpees – love ’em or hate ’em?

How are you getting after it during the holiday week?

My First Rx

Hey guys!

I’m currently rolling on an exercise-induced endorphin high, so please excuse my excessive excitement in this post. I suppose it’s better than that alternative though, right?

Anyway… getting straight to the point.

Today was a FUN day for me at the box.

I did my first Rx WOD!

Huh? For those of you unfamiliar with the CrossFit lingo, Rx means “as prescribed.” In other words, each WOD (workout of the day) has a prescribed weight for men and women. You can’t just use the prescribed weight to “go Rx” though; you must use the full range of motion on all of the movements. It’s tough stuff.
