Universal CrossFit
Had my very first CrossFit workout. It was really intense. I went to Universal CrossFit, which is a cool place located at the intersection of Roy and Maxie Streets in what I think would be considered the Heights area of Houston. Our instructor was Jimmy. He went out of his way to make sure I understood all of the exercises and also the basic science and philosophy of CrossFit. I met Daniel, Victoria, and Jonathan. Our Workout Of the Day (WOD) was 5 sets of:
5 back squats 5 box jumps 5 wall ball 100m sprint 200m jog jump rope x 2 min
Here is a (blurry) shot of the gym (box?):
Right around the corner of the gym was a couple of very cool lots that had some metal art / art car action going on:
Swimming
Went for a quick swim at lunch time. Just did 22 minutes for a total distance of 1050m.
