This morning’s FitCamp workout was new to many but the name is one you will certainly not forget anytime soon if you were in class today…. “FRAN”.
A few months back Nick and I had the pleasure of visiting CrossFit New England for a 2 day CrossFit certification program. At the end of our first day the instructors told us we would be going head-to-head doing the one workout (“FRAN”) that had me laid out like a sweat drenched pancake a few weeks earlier.
Fran is a deadly combination of Thrusters and Pull-ups completed in superset format for 21, 15 and 9 reps completed for fastest time. Perscribed weight for guys is 95#, girls 65#.
There is only one thing I love about doing this workout… finishing. That and the fact that it is one of the most incredible full-body workouts you will ever do.
The following clip is of the co-owner of CrossFit New England, Heather Keenan doing the workout we did today in FitCamp. I am sure you will have the same appreciation of this amazing pace that I do and know that although she makes this look easy we all now know that “FRAN is a bitc*”!
P.S. If you were in class today then let’s hear your comments on your first FRAN workout??





That was a great workout and I definitely felt it the next day…but after watching Heather, I have more work to do!!
Pat, great workout!!! My butt is hurting today…walking like a true cowgirl, yeehaww
I’m glad I missed the workout!!
Thanks I didn’t feel bad enough after today’s session
(just messing she is bad a%#%#@.
I was so inspired by how hard everyone worked today that after the 9:15am class was gone I ran through this workout solo and managed to post my best time to date. Still nowhere near Heather’s!
Everyone did awesome today and we had a 100% completion rate! Great job!
