weights--run--swim

Crossfit. Raise your hand if you have heard of this...wow...because of a crossfit workout or two, I can barely lift my arms...even more cult that triathletes!! But how bad does your body HURT after one of their workouts?
I will tell you.
A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT!!!!!!!!!!
I looked into a membership but a)the torture chamber (gym) does not have any times that suit my schedule and b)they post the work out of the day on their website every morning by 5:00am.
A little bit of YouTube research on the excercises and voila...I have a (sometimes modified) Crossfit workout!!
Yesterday was a 30 minute run and a 20 minute strength workout. Let's just say it hurts to lift my arms today. I reached over to turn the alarm off beside the bed and holy hell... But today was a Wednesday swim, so I went to the leisure center, ran on the treadmill for about 30 minutes and then swam a whopping 1000 meters. Tired, tired, tired was my upper body but I made them go round and round.
Ready for bed tonight!!

I have heard of it and what I heard is exactly what you posted here. Sounds like it will whip you into shape in no time. Just don't try to put on too many over the head sweaters. And avoid stairs. ouch!
