30 Day Challenge





I decided I would share my 30 Day At-Home Crossfit Challenge with you in case anyone wants to join me..and this way I don't have to bore you with posting my WODS everyday with you! I wanted to share my at-home workouts with you because I know I'm not the only one who can't afford to go to a box (not to mention the closest one is an hour away)! I am a beginner so I don't have much equipment...I have a 15 lb kettlebell and one 8 lb dumbbell. That's it! Even if you don't have that, just find something heavy to use until you get one. As for box jumps, I don't have a box either, so I jump up 2 steps on a set of staircases.

No excuses.

Before you begin, know that you WILL be sore. You will hurt. You will want to quit. And if you are like me, you will HATE it...at the beginning that is. But the more you do it, the more you will love it. You just wait and see!

On the schedule, you will notice on REST days I still have down to run or walk one mile. It's still good to stay active even on a rest day. It doesn't even have to be a walk or a run. You can go swimming, go for a bike ride, or play JustDance on the wii!

I believe one of the most important things to remember is...Never compromise your form! These workouts are tough! You will get tired and will want to rush to be done. This is when injuries normally happen. If you have 20 pushups left to do and your back is arching and your body is not align..stop. Take 1 minute to catch your breath. And then try again focusing on your form and keeping your body tight/align. If you still cannot complete your pushups, finish them by doing "girl pushups". There is nothing wrong with having to do girl pushups. Don't over do it to the point you hurt yourself. Listen to your body! (But don't listen to your mind. Your mind will always give up before body.)

Also, before and after pictures are always fun! Take a picture of yourself before the challenge as well as after! If you do, be sure to share! I will be posting some photos and sharing my progress next week!! Eek! 

Now go get your sweat on!

*****If you are NEW to working out or haven't done exercise in a LONG time, you may find you need more rest days. Feel free to take a rest day every 2-3 days if need be. Rest days are actually good for you, just don't get in the habit of taking too many days off. Don't let yourself go more than 2 days without working out. Because if you do, it will be THAT much harder to get back into it! Trust me.*********

 One more thing, feel free to mix this schedule around to better fit your work/home schedules. For example, I know some people don't like to workout on Sundays so you can kind of play around with this schedule and change it so Sundays are always your REST days. Just know that I put them is certain orders for a reason. After a HARD day, I try to make the next day not quite as hard. (But face it, everyday is a hard day in crossfit!) Or if I ran/squat a lot one day, I try to focus more on situps or pullups the next day so you don't have too much wear and tear on your legs.

  1. On the days you say "squats" are those done with weight? "sit-ups" mean full sit-ups? if I can do full, will crunches suffice? When you say for example, "7 lunges" that means for each side per set, correct? And lastly, sorry for all the questions, but I log to get the most effective workout and don't want to be doing things wrong... when doing Kettlebell swings, can I use a dumbell weight? what weight would you suggest? Thanks so much, in advance, for answering questions and for posting such a helpful workout for us moms and home with littles!!!

  2. So probably a dumb question, but when it says to "Run 400m", do you also do this for 4 rounds?
