My first Chipper! Friday found me getting my first “chipper” workout at CrossFit – with a bunch of movements all setup to be done in sequence without any rest/recovery. The memory is fuzzy and I have no idea what order I did it in but it looked something like this
25 Back Extensions
25 Squats?
400m Row
25 Wall Balls
25 Lunges
25 Jumping Pull ups
25 Jump to Support on the rings
25 box jumps
25 med ball 3x situps (med ball up to one knee cross , down, med ball up to other knee cross, down, throw med ball to trainer when sitting up, repeat x25)
25 dumbbell clean and press
I did it all in 14 or something minutes and it was massively difficult. It’s a great example of what I love about going to CrossFit, though, there’s NO way to be counting the minutes or waiting for the “prescribed time” to elapse when doing that workout like you might while on a treadmill at the gym cause you’re busy just trying to KEEP GOING and not puke on your shoes.

I have some friends that turned me on to cross-fit last year. I love this style of workouts…. it really helps break up the seasons on mostly (or only) swim, bike and run.
Do you go to a cross-fit studio? or do the workouts at a gym on your own.
Unrelated: I see that you are looking forward to doing an Ironman in ‘09. Do you know which one you are thinking about?
