I was thinking last night how sometimes I feel like an old lady  — I go to bed super early and sleep like a rock most nights. A bunch of us were laughing yesterday at how well we sleep — finish a hard workout, put in a full day at your 9-5, parent — you are ready to hit the hay. There are days when I seriously can’t wait to go to bed after dinner. Yes, exercise gives you extra energy so I definitely get a lot accomplished during the day but when it’s time to wind down, I really take that all the way to the max.

A lot of athletes find they sleep better with a combo of CrossFit and eating Paleo/Whole, clean foods. It’s something to consider if you suffer from insomnia or are a restless sleeper. I was born with the gift of napping — so to me, not being able to sleep is akin to torture.

Warmup
x2
50m sprint
50m walk
10 pull ups
10 push ups
10 squats
10 sit ups

Skill
playing on the rings
– you need to have good core/mid-line stability to do ring work and also be comfortable being upside down.

WOD
15m AMRAP
10 Feet to bar
10 box jumps
10 wall balls (14#)
total: 6+ rounds

This one was tough! No other words to describe it!! As soon as it started, i couldn’t breathe. You say to yourself, come on, it’s only 10 reps but it feels like 50 reps — but you push through using mental skills.
