Workout: Farmer Carries and Sled Push!!!




I heard it was national runners day today... I do NOT like running. 

I run when I have to at CrossFit, and I (sometimes) enjoy running sprints!

So to celebrate National Runner's Day, I lifted some heavy weights at my gym!!!

(what farmer carries look like!)

The workout we did today included farmer carries & sled pushes!!

Going into the workout I was nervous because I had never done a farmer carry before - but I LOVED it!!!!!

A Farmer Carry is where you pick up something heavy in each hand and walk a certain distance with them!

I did 6 rounds of farmer carries for 20 yards at 80 lbs in each hand! 

I definitely could have added more weight - but I was partnered with two other people who were still working on building up their strength, so I just worked with 80 :)

For the Sled Pushes I did 6 rounds for time at 40 yards for 90 lbs!!!

Overall, it was a short but fun workout!

I treated myself afterwards by swimming in the sweet AZ sunshine!
