First Workout!

This was my first workout postpartum #8...  Besides using TTapp and the Tupler "Mummy Tummy" Technique, both of which are great, especially if you have trouble with diastasis recti during pregnancy...

Here is our home gym...  as you can see, we're using our garage...

We've kind of put it together a piece at a time over the years, and have probably gotten rid of more than we currently have, but this is what we're using this time...

The C2 rower and the wrestling mat for floor exercises (pushups, sit ups, and wrasslin')

the cage with bench (the surgical tubing is for me, so i can do "chin ups" with a little help) and weighted vest and neck strap (again, for T)

barbells and kettlebells and dumbbells, oh my!

and rings for Travis' L-sits, chins and dips

but the most important thing is just showing up (and wearing shoes?  We found the little boys out in the garage "making jewels" by smashing glass bottles the recycling bin...)

So, here is the first workout: (definitions for any of these exercises can be found in the Crossfit FAQ)

"Nasty Girls"

Coach T's version:

3 sets:

50 squats

20 dips

20 chinups

30 neck raises with 90 lbs

10 hang cleans with 135lb barbell

Mama's version:

3 sets of these four exercises:

50 squats

20 pushups

20 seated rows (with 15 lb dumbbells)

10 dumbbell cleans (with 20 lb dumbbells)

If you don't have dumbbells, you can probably borrow some from someone in your neighbourhood/a friend.  OR, you can buy these cheap at Walmart or someplace like that for less than a dollar a pound in the States, and in Canada around a dollar a pound.  They are so versatile, and worth having!
