“Cindy”

5 Pullups (no help - the first time I ever did this workout, with no bands)
10 Pushups (also the first time I ever tried this doing the pushups from my toes)
15 Squats

AMRAP 20 Minutes

I finished 11 rounds and about 1/2 of the 12th round. 

In the past, I have always finished 13 or 14 rounds, but I am really pleased with my results - since I didn’t use help on the pullups and did the pushups from my toes.  The pushups are definitely what slowed me down.  I need to work on getting better at doing them from my toes.  Goal for next time: Complete at least 12 rounds - so I can get “on the board!!!”  I was so close.

And then, one last time down and up the stairs - at a slow and steady pace.  Emphasis on the slow - since I got stuck behind a few turtles on the way back up - just for s**** and giggles

21-18-15-12-9-6-3
Wall Ball (used 10# bal)
Kettlebell Swings (used yellow on first 21, used green for rest of workout)
Pull Ups (I did jumping pull ups)
20 Second L-Sit

Time: 18:27
Not a bad time, I probably should have pushed myself to do full pull ups (instead of jumping pull ups).  However, I did get in a car accident on the way to the gym - so I was feeling a little shaken up.  I am fine - just didn’t push myself in the workout, probably, as much as I should have.

Guess I was feeling a little guilty, because I did 30 pushups from my toes when I got home from the gym - for no apparent reason.

January 30th

Didn’t make it to class last night.  Was feeling too tired and didn’t think I could make it through weightlifting Wednesday.  However, was later overcome with sense of guilt for not working out so I did:
100 Push Ups (all from toes, yeah!!!)
100 Sit Ups
100 Squats

Didn’t time myself, was really just working on form.  Better than nothing, I guess.  I did break a sweat

3 Rounds for time:
400m run
21 hand stand push ups (or heavy shoulder presses)
12 pull ups

17:59

I did a mix of hand stand push ups (with my toes on the bar) and 20# dumbell shoulder presses for 1st 2 rounds.  Last round was all hand stand push ups.  Definitely need to work on those more.

Ok, here goes nothing.  I am FINALLY going to start trying to post my workouts.

6 400m Sprints
1:46
1:49
1:49
1:51
1:51
1:46

I was really proud that I made it through all 6 sprints and kept all of them within 5 seconds of each other.  Running, especially sprinting, has never been my strong suit.  I am really happy with my results…......but, of course, there’s always room for improvement.
