Yeah, the bicycle stuff and the pilates are good for you too, and I fugure you will soon start feeling the benefits from that kind of exersise, too -- not so much after doing it, but what you can do later, over all, without struggle.

Here's what we did in CrossFit class today:

30 over head snatches (lifting a dumbell from the ground, to overhead.)
24 overhead squats (holding said dumbell straight up overhead, and doing full squats)
18 over head push-press (holding dumbell at shoulder, and pushing it up)

All exercises were performed with a 20 pound dumbell, and broken up so that we did half each set one one side, and half on the other. The routine was timed -- AND I KICKED EVERYBODY'S BUTT! Including the twenty-something, long-distance-running couple, and the black-belt martial arts instructor who owns the studio where we have the class.

And I beat them by A LOT.

I finished in 4:58, followed (not closely) by martial-arts-guy and a guy around my age. David and Katie (the young-uns) did not finish, because the instructor stopped the routine at ten minutes.

I think my thighs are back to trashed (hopefully not as badly as last week) but I feel great.
