Trying to stay chipper about Chippers!!!


Tuesday is the day!!! With regional qualifiers in stride, we Might as well stay in stride with CrossFit's mainsite and keep plugging along with some of the CrossFit Games 2009 WOD's. With quite a bit of endurance background, i've always enjoyed the longer WOD's and chippers but after watching this workout during the 2009 Games, I honestly felt bad for the athletes taking part in it. It was painfully sweet to watch, check out http://games2009.crossfit.com/thegames/womens-chipper-heat-1-christy-vs-crystal.html and watch the ladies battle!!! This is a chipper to beat chippers and will ask more from your body than you can imagine! For those of you who aren't quite sure what a chipper is, here's a short explanation that should give you nice vivid picture. A Chipper is a string of different exercises done one after, once through for time. It is named chipper because, afterwards you feel like you have been through a wood chipper. If that doesn't give you an idea what it is, I urge you to do the WOD below and then tell me what you think!!! Happy Chipping!!!
