Why Blog?
Since we had gotten involved in Crossfit, because we live in different cities, we had been emailing each other how we did on our WODs each day. We each have health/fitness goals and goals related to a book we’ve been writing (unrelated to health/fitness), so we figured instead of emailing each other every day, we’d start a blog. The blog will mainly be centered on our health/fitness goals, but I’m sure we’ll throw in a little ‘book’ stuff along the way, as it’s been such a big part of our lives over the last couple years. So, here we go…the journey begins!
What is the Crossfit Contract?
The Crossfit Contract is a 9-week challenge from Monday, September 13, 2010, to Friday, November 13, 2010, where we are committing to a self-prescribed meal plan and workout schedule. We will take our beginning weight, measurements, pictures, do a benchmark WOD, establish goals, define and schedule our ‘cheat’ days, and state our allowances such as alcohol consumption. These will be posted and then measured again at the end of 9 weeks.
Jon's Goals
1. Lose 30 pounds
2. 5 band pull-ups (single band)
3. Improve my 5k time by at least five minutes (34.10 original time)
4. Use 24 inch box for box jumps
Amanda’s Goals
1. Lose 6 pounds
2. Run a sub-7minute mile (w/o holding on treadmill)
3. Do 3 Pullups without assistance and learn Kipping pull-ups
4. Do 40 CF Pushups without rest
We will be posting our 'plans' shortly to detail how we plan on achieving our goals.
Come along and see the fun and games that will no doubt ensue the next nine weeks!
