Manimals
For time:
100 "man-imals" 25/45 (see photos below)
Post time to comments
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To perform one "man-imal" begin by dropping a weight 25f/45m on the floor.
Perform the beginning phase of a burpee on the weight.
On the "up" phase of your burpee pick up your weight and loft it over your head.
From this position, keep the weight lofted and perform a walking lunge step with each leg
Upon completion of the lunge steps, throw weight on the ground, jump over it,...
Turn around, and start over - that is ONCE.
That look of FEAR in Meg's eyes is because I just told her the workout - GOOD LUCK ALL!
15:55 minutes
100 Sit-ups

Curious,
I assume you meant "different than Crossfit".
I can't speak for FZN since I'm just a paying customer but for me it's more individualized, everything can be scaled or taylored depending on the individual. Extra workouts are prepared for those who wish to put more emphasis on strength or endurance or whatever. And, we have Neil, Lizz, Megan and Juliann...and the Yak.
I haven't been to many Crossfit gyms but I have been to a couple. I like this better. Really though, you should stop by and see for yourself.

62 in 22:08. Boy was I sweating!!
Last time it took me well over 30 minutes to get to 60, so I felt like this was making progress. I need to be able to walk tomorrow, so I quit a little early. Felt a little like a slacker, but I'm sore enough that I know I got a great workout.

4 miles OUTSIDE, A-mazing! A good reminder of why I love what I do and how lucky I am to be able to do it! It is a good day!
I used to think anything dipped in Chocolate would be good. I USED to think that....seriously nasty...
Curious-I agree with Brian. Come find out for yourself.

Dear Trainers/Zoner-
I know smart-aleckey I said something this morning to the effect of "Bring on Thrust-o-rama tomorrow"...
But please, please, please, We can not take it!!!!!!

Neil and Keri FYI: I just did the freakin "Manimals"! It was not the funnest thing I've ever done. Plus--I did it at home with my 12 year old callin me on! (I made him do 10 right when I finished!) 22:00 minutes-not great time but this was a first for me. So I can only improve, right. I'm just happy I did it! Sorry I dogged this morning, Ker. Dang kids!

I want a "I wanna be like Man-Arms" Tee-Shirt! HOLLY....!! Andy, Keri, and Lizz put it down too!! I'm not worthy.
Court, to be like you do I just eat the chocolate covered bacon, or do I have to cook it in a spoon and inject it? :)
Chad, LOL...I agree!

21:04rx Love days like manimals & meg-inator. I'll take these workouts anyday over Tuesdays....Tuesdays just make me mad & frustrated!
I too can't wait to see what "womanimals" brings...
Posted by: Julie | 02/04/2010 at 03:18 PM
I think Meg-inator is the "womanimals".

19:04 Way to go team! It was fun Tree and Amanda:) Next time lets try no break at the half mark:)

Took today off which means I go do some other "fun" class on Thursdays. I did BodyJam today and it was a fun break up, but I look like a fool dancing as it is so you should have seen me with quads that still are killing me. It is funny that I use to go to these classes as my whole workout and now I do it on my "days off". So, I agree with Court's quads and thighs, I don't know what I will do with Thrust-o-Rama.
