Conditioning and abs
Ben's out the door five minutes, and I'm back doing a CrossFit workout! This is the first time I've done Cindy since April 2013.
Cindy: Amrap 20
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 air squats
Score = 16 rounds + 2 pull-ups
That's only one rep less than my PR, so I'm pretty pleased about that. I didn't use my previous death-by strategy, but I didn't rush myself, either. I took short rests between each movement and each set. Consequently, each individual set of movements was unbroken until the last round of push-ups.
======
Bicycle crunches
50, 40, 30, 20 per side; 60 seconds rest in between.
===
Plank - 60 seconds, broken up as needed
1 set, 1 set, 2 sets
===
Ab rollouts
10, 10, 10
