I finally did it! After all these months of speaking about it to folk and debating whether or not to go, I finally went to a Crossfit Box. My friend at work Kirsty goes to ULT Crossfit in Ayr – a little further than some of the boxes near me but a lot cheaper and well run – and let me tag along for a night!
The workout was 3mins on 1min rest for 6 exercises, which I thought was a nice beginner session for me. You had to get as many calories or rounds as possible in the 3mins. I decided to stay really light and pace myself. The instructions let me dive straight in but kept an eye out incase I needed any help.
The exercises and my results included:
- SkiErg Machine – 35cals
- 10 Deadlifts and 10 Barbell Jumpovers – 10 Rounds
- 10 Kettlebell Thrusters and 3 Walking Laps on room – 5 Rounds
- Air Bike Machine – 56 cals
- 10 Wall Balls and 10 Burpees – 2.5 Rounds
- Plank Hold (as long as possible) then Situps when you fall from Plank – held plank for 1min 50sec
For a first time ever I was proud of myself. I really found the Wall Balls tricky, which surprised me because they look pretty simple!
I really couldn’t believe how kind and helpful everyone was there. People stopped to help me during their workout and made time to find me smaller weight!
I loved my time and will definately be back! 💙🙂

That’s great! I’m currently doing crossfit type workouts in a regular gym but finding it hard because of its environment, thinking about joining a crossfit box, but a bit worried about not being fit enough to keep up!
So glad you liked it! CrossFit is my favorite kind of workout, you definitely get addicted to the great feeling afterwards 🙂
Wow, this is awesome (: you go girl!
Thanks babe!! Xxx
