Rip 60 Week 1 Day 1

Today I tried something different - The Rip 60 System.

I bought it because it was on offer and fancied a change - one of the Crossfit recommendations is try new things so I decided to lol. I was very wary that it was a little gimmicky but it looked pretty sound anyway so lets see.

It's a really well made piece of equipment and the trainer on the DVD is really very good.

Week 1 Day 1 - an intro into the new system.
It was pretty tough as in I couldn't keep up with the cardio side - it is my weekness but I really enjoyed it. It made a great change and I think it will be awesome for my core and cardio/endurance.

I know I still sometimes don't scale the wods enough and so miss the cardio side sometimes and although I dont want to loose my crossfit skills I think the change will do me good. I will still keep up with my barbell work as it would be shame to loose the gains I'm making if I just do the Rip 60 for 60 days and nothing else. See how we go.

The schedule it says to do is 5 days on and then 2 rest days and so not sure how it will work out for me but I think I'll suck it and see, maybe 2 days Rip60 1 day weights, rest and repeat might work??
