This weeks workout

This is just a quick post about my training this week.

Monday: Warm up inside. The warm up consisted of different movements of different joints to warm them up slowly. Like little circles with the foot to warm up the ankle. 

Then we went outside to do some more exercises. 

We has three work posts:

Post 1: 8 thrusters with kettlebell (4 on each arm), 8 rows with kettlebell (4 on each arm) and 8 kettlebell swings.

Post 2: 10 burpees, 10 mountain climbs (To each leg) and 10 jumping lunges.

Post 3: 12 squats, 12 push ups and 12 atomic sit ups.

We work 6 minutes on each post and 1 minute break.

Afterwards we did the plank for 30 sec, then we did 30 sec where we jump in and out with the legs*. Then 30 sec plank and 30 sec where you take right leg under left leg, turn the body and stretch the opposite arm towards the sealing - not an easy task! Then we did some stretches of the largest muscles and the ones we have used the most.

Wednesday: A short run of about 1 km in the town. This time we did partner exercises.

We had 4 work posts: 

Post 1: TRX work: 7 jumps i can only compare to a dive into a pool (Hold handles in hands, squat down, and then stretch your legs in an explosive movement with the arms out in front of you - Like you are doing a dive) and 7 pull ups while the partner does burpees - switch.

Post 2: Walking lunges with a kettlebell in each hand (About 30 m) while the partner does atomic sit ups - switch.

Post 3: Plank while the partner runs about 100 m - switch

Post 4: 7 jump squats while partner does russian twists - switch

We work for 7 minutes at each post and have one minute break between posts.

After that, we do stretches. 

Saturday: Short run in the woods and afterwards a tabata with sprints - 4 minutes of 20 sec work and 10 sec break. 

Then we did the exercises:

10 burpees

20 atomic sit ups

30 front squats with a kettlebell

400 m run

50 mountain climbs

400 m run

30 front squats with a kettlebell

20 atomic sit ups

10 burpees

This is just done as fast as possible. 

Then we did another tabata - this time with push ups. It we needed a break from push ups, we were allowed to do the plank instead.

And the last thing we did was stretching.

If there is exercises you want to try and you don't know how to execute them, google or youtube it because it is important to do it correctly to avoid injuries :)

Have fun if you want to try this. Each of these routines is about an hour long.

Working out

This is just going to be a quick blog post!

I have started working out since i got back from Lolland. I began going with my parents to outdoor crossfit and we went three times a week. I started in the ending of October and it is first now i have measured myself. I chose to measure because weight and BMI doesn't work well when you are gaining muscle mass, which i hopefully am. Muscles are heavier than fat so a person with a lot of muscles can weigh as much as an overweight person. BMI doesn't take muscles in consideration either.

I have also taken some pictures and there will hopefully be visible change in my body.

I measured a lot of different things to see if there will be any size difference after a couple more months.

Here are my measurements:
Arm: 25,5 cm
Chest: 86 cm
Below chest: 76,5 cm
Waist: 70 cm
Hip: 91 cm
Thigh: 54,5 cm
I am currently weighing 58,8 kg

Lately i have had a tendency, where i suck in my belly so it appears skinnier and my abs look more prominent. I don't even notice when i am doing it anymore, but in these pics i made an effort not to suck it in, so my true shape is showing.
I hope you want to follow my process! I already now notice a change in my face, where my face has gotten less round :) I am already happy with the results i am seeing but i am getting hooked on this crossfit thing and i know i can get bigger and better results! :) I will also point out that i am doing this not to lose weight, but to gain muscle mass. I want a booming beach body ;)
I am hoping to do one of these updates a week where i explain what we have been doing, it you want to try it at home. Every workout is an hour long and there is a lot of variation. At home you can choose just to do the exercises, but normally, we run a little bit to get the body warmed up.

Damn it!

I thought i finally had caught up to my reviews of my Goodie Boxes, apparently i was wrong..
The company decided to send them out within weeks of each other and before i had tried all the products in the November box, i got the December box. Now i have tried all of the things out and am ready to review those two boxes.

This one is called Christmas and comes in a pretty red box. On their little note of products they have a little teaser of what you get. I'm not really sure which ones are from what months, but i guess this is Novembers, so you can be ready for the Christmas month?

The first thing i saw was this little tube of Decubal body cream. A full size costs 69,95 kr which is a good price for a lotion, but i am not sure of the size you get. The thing with this sample was, it only has a little drop of lotion in there. I don't know where the rest went but i could only get that one drop out. Because of the small amount of product, it was really hard to test it. The lotion was light, not sticky and absorbs quickly into the skin, but there was not enough product to make a good opinion about it.

The next thing was two perfume samples. One for women and one for men. Maybe a good Christmas gift for the significant other? A full size of the Gucci Premiere (women) is 525 kr and a full size of Gucci Made To Measure is 410 kr. I smelled both of them and really liked them. If or when i get a special someone, if i don't get tired of the scent and if it is not discontinued i will definitively buy this one for him. The scent of this one, for me is the scent of a man. And it is so good!! The Gucci Premiere is one i have fallen in love with some time ago with another sample. They are really good and really classic scents, in my opinion.

The next is a lipstick from the brand Teeez Trend Cosmetics. My color was a deep, earthy red and it is called Rumor Club. I'm not really liking the color. Too earthy for me. It has a nice feel on the lips. This is a full size product and it is 149 kr. not a cheap lipstick, and you can feel it when you are wearing it. Not for me though. Maybe if it had been another color.

This is a sample of the Eucerin cleansing fluid. A full size is 104,95 kr. Eucerin a good brand and i really liked this. It got rid of every bit of make up, cleaned my face and toned it in one swipe. It is great! It is a clear fluid, which is kinda like water and it has no scent to it. 

This is a face mask from Amie. It is a full size product and costs about 99 kr. This is a deep cleansing mask with peppermint, white clay and lime butter. It has a tingly feel on the skin and it has a minty color. This feels so good on the skin. the tingly feeling and the scent of peppermint is something i really like. I've used it a couple of times and my skin feels really good afterwards.

The next thing was an Argan oil from Dr. Scheller. It is a full size and costs 119,95 kr. I did not like this. It was very thick and i had a horrible smell. It was lemony and i do not like it. It was thick and sticky on my skin. So uncomfortable. It was definitely a miss!

This was a product i looked forward to trying. I have really fine hair that has difficulty doing anything other than hanging down my face. This is a tester or travel size and a full size is 59,95 kr, which is not that bad. Maybe i used it wrong or else it just didn't do it for me. It gave me no volume what so ever..

The last thing was this candy. A normal jar of these is 79 kr. This is white chocolate with gold dust on the outside and on the inside there was a cube of licorice. No.. Just no.. I don't like chocolate and licorice and i don't like white chocolate..

That was all. It was pretty much a miss for me this time around. This box was worth 368 kr without the samples. Not that happy about this one, but there was some winners in this box!

 Here's my first look into the Statement box. This should be the one for New Yeas and give you all kinds of things you could use on the night.

First thing i grabbed was the false lashes. I love false lashes, i just don't get to use them that often. I feel like the are weird on my eyes and these seem really dramatic. I want to try them. Maybe i need to trim them? No, i did not wear these, because i didn't want to run around having to fix the lashes and i do really have good lashes anyways, so it is not like i need them. They look pretty though! These cost 69 kr

The next thing was this nail polish from Appeal4. The color is called Black Lily and it looks amazing. It is a black polish with green specs of glitter and i did wear this on new years. The polish held up pretty well on my nails and longer than most polishes i own. Before new years i tried Gellack or Shellack in a french design and i will write a post on it later. This is really beautiful! This is 79 kr, which isn't really expensive for a nail polish.

This is an eyeshadow from Gosh in the color Black. It is a black with silver glitters in it. It can be used both wet and dry and i have only tried it dry. When it is dry, you can't really see the glitter, so maybe i should have tried it wet? It costs 59,95 kr and it's an okay prize.

Next, we have a lip gloss, also from Gosh. This is in a purple color and has the number 102, but no name. As you can see it was one of those light up glosses with a mirror on the side. The color was fine on my lips, but i felt like it was very sticky. Not that pleasant to have on the lips. This is 89,95 kr and i would not buy one in another color because of the consistency.

This is Derma Eco's cleansing wipes. They contain to perfume and are allergy tested. My problem with this is, it does not remove make up. I think it is supposed to work like a toner-like wipe, because it does not remove anything without an excessive amount of rubbing on the face and eyes. These are 49,95 and for that prize i could get my beloved Garnier wipes, which i would much rather buy.

I found this thing kinda weird to put in a box of beauty items, but i guess a fresh breath is a beauty accessory? These are Tic Tacs and have strawberry flavor and the lighter ones are sweet while the darker ones are sour. At the first try i didn't really like them. Now, i think they are okay, but they do not work like a gum or normal Tic Tac does. I would rather have a minty breath than a strawberry one. They are 16,95 kr.

The last thing is this perfume sample from Salvador Dalí called "Dalí Wild". This has jasmine, magnolia, mahogany and citrus fruits and this was just not for me. I don't know what is is about it, the scent was just not one i liked that much. It is light and feminine though. A full size of this costs 255 kr, which is pretty cheap for a perfume.

This box had a value of 365 kr without the sample and that is pretty good. Sadly there was a few duds. I liked this better than the Christmas box though! I look forward to my next box to see what they have come up with now!
