Karen can bite me
>> Thursday, August 20, 2009
"Karen" is one of the WOD's that occurs most often, in my opinion. I see it every other month or so it seems.
"Karen" calls for 150 wallballs.
Here's a video I found of a girl doing a wallball so you can see what it looks like...
Looks simple right?
ha! yeah right. Despite the fact that this does come up often, I've only done it one other time and that was a lllllooooooooonnnnnnnngggggggg time ago- November 20, 2008!
You won't believe it, but when I did this workout before, I used a 6lb ball.
6 pounds!
And today, I used a 20 pound ball! That's a big difference!
I'm pumped because I've been using the 20lb ball more and more these days and I never thought that was possible. It used to be incredibly heavy to me and I didn't even like carrying it around let alone doing a whole workout with it. Take that Karen!
My time today was 10:59 which I'm very proud of. My legs and arms went from having the shakes to being totally numb before I finished. Once I threw the ball up for the 150th time, I fell to the floor, didn't even bother catching the ball. I was pooped.
Until tomorrow,

Rock on, Kelsa!
150 times? Did you mistype an extra zero? Because I think had I done that workout I'd collapse after 15.
In my own person work out news, I used a new cardio machine at my gym today. It's a real calorie burner and I've got something to break up my elliptical monotony. YIPPEE!
6 lbs to 20 lbs is an amazing leap ahead! Nice work.
