My Crossfit Work Out Experience

I was not able to realize the intensity of the Crossfit Work Out session care of C-Lium until the big day came when we were actually at the Philippine Army Gym. The Crossfit workout featured the exercises that they adapted in the C-lium Lose More Live More website.

My shortcoming was I did not do a prior research on what Crossfit was all about and what we were to undergo. I had much confidence that I will be able to do it whaterver it will be.

I was both right and wrong. 😛
After a bried lecture from our coach on strength strength & conditioning in contrast to mere bodybuilding, we were oriented on what we are about to do:

  • 7 Wall Balls
  • 7 Push Ups
  • 7 Box Jumps (High/Low)
  • 7 Burpees
  • 10mins AMRAP

They all sound new to me except for the push ups. Even after his demonstrations, they didn’t really looked that hard.

But then he had to give time limits such that we should do each of the above-mentioned exercises for a certain number of repetitions within a limited period of time – that is when things started to get nasty and muscles began to complain. 🙂

In the final round, we had to do all 4 sets as many times as we can within 10 minutes. We had fellow program partners who we counted for and counted for me as well.

I was more than satisfied with my performance having finished 4 rounds of the complete 4 sets within 10 minutes. Itwas beyond my expectations; perhaps taking C-Lium everyday was a factor (naks). 🙂 Kidding aside, the better digestion, regular bowel movement, lower cholesterol, and decreased weight, of course, did help in having one’s physical tone prepared; albeit C-Lium is not a strengthening vitamin but a fiber supplement, just to be clear.

Crossfit Aftermath: Food

After the Crossfit work out, we also had lunch at the same time a mini-seminar with a nutritionist who shared how to deliciously combine C-Lium into one’s diet and into good-tasting dishes. One of which was a healthy soya-nacho serving and after-workout juice.

Benefits of Crossfit

What was good about this whole basic crossfit workout program was that the 4 sets of exercise targetted different muscle part of the body. The ‘Wall Balls‘ was for the upper arms, the push ups for the chest, the ‘box jumps‘ for the legs and abs, and the ‘burpees‘ for the overall body tone.

Our thanks extend to Crossfit, C-Lium, and our trainer for introducing us to the Crossfit workout and C-Lium which became a good supplement to their exercise program.
