September Training Blog

Well September was interesting~! So many injuries~! But I like to think I have a healing factor like Wolverine ~ hehe~! It wasn’t a bad month but it certainly wasn’t as productive as I had wanted~! Bring on October~! I’m going to Vegas~!

Helen for Houston:

Helen for Houston~! 3 rounds: 400m run, 21 kettlebell swings and 12 pull-ups~! Didn't have a 24kg so had to go with a 32kg kettlebell~! Give it a go and donate~! Thanks @g.athletics for the @assaultairbike air runner so I could do this workout~! @crossfit @juliefoucher #crossfit #helenforhouston #donate #gathletics #assaultfitness #assaultairrunner #kettlebell #kettlebellswings #run #running #pullups #calisthenics #bodyweight #charity #fit #fitness #athomefitness #athomeworkout #rogue #roguefitness #rogueeurope www.trainsmartnothard.com

Weighted Pistols and 400m repeats:

I have been nursing an injury for the past week which put me out of commission but I'm 90% recovered~! So what better way to come back than with some weighted pistols and 400m repeats~! Death and despair comes to my mind~ thanks @g.athletics I love the @assaultairbike air runner so much~! #crossfit #metcon #wod #workoutoftheday #pistolsquat #pistols #run #running #400meters #gathletics #rogue #roguefitness #underarmour #reebok #couplet #homegym #homefitness #fitnessathome #assaultfitness #assaultairrunner www.trainsmartnothard.com

5k:

Question: How do you make an exciting running video? Answer: You can't~! Workout of the day: run 5k~! The goal is to run 10k on the @assaultairbike air runner~! Don't get it twisted, it's nothing like running on the road~! I've ran solid 10k times on the road and this is something else~!

Murph:

In hindsight September was really good injuries aside. I’m using my fitness for more charitable causes and my personal life is in such a great place~!
