Cindy

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
15 squats
10 push-ups
5 pull-ups (jumping)

10 rounds + 15 squats

Last time I did Cindy, I got in 12 rounds, but half of my push-ups were from my knees, but this time I only resorted to them on 2 rounds (the 6th and the 9th, I think), so that feels like an achievement. And my arms are not nearly as drained as they were last time. That was only 2 weeks ago.

Cindy! Finally!

After thinking about it, and feeling guilty for not doing it, and wishing I would just get up and do it, I finally did it!

Cindy - 20 minutes of:
15 squats
10 push-ups (some from my knees)
5 pull-ups (jumping)

I completed 12 rounds.

My arms feel pretty loosey-goosey from the push-ups.
Rounds 1-3: Full push-ups
Rounds 4-7: 5 full push-ups, 5 on my knees
Rounds 8-12: On my knees
I used to be good at push-ups! I'll need to practice them more often. Now that I've got a pull-up doorway, maybe I should initiate a push-up doorway as well.


Many thanks to my recent posters, Kim and Mr. Meiko. Knowing that someone else out there is reading this blog, no matter how irregularly, is a *huge* motivator.

Pull-ups & climbing

We installed a pull-up bar in the office door frame. Our "rule" is that we have to do pull-up every time we pass underneath. I do 5 jumping pull-ups, and Scott does 3 regular ones. We don't actually do pull-ups *every* time we go under... more like 50% of the time for me. That's still a lot of pull-ups.

Going climbing again tonight. :-)
