Fitness FAIL

Something tells me this isn't a CrossFit gym...

Cindy Gone Mad

A twisted twist on the whole 'Cindy' thing:

  • 45 x Squats
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes.
Squeezed in 4 and a third.

Short rests can fuel high intensity WODS

Cool WOD today:
  • 3 Burpees
  • 6 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls 95 lbs / 65 lbs
  • 9 Box Jumps
As many rounds as possible in 3 minutes; rest 1 minute.
  • 3 Burpees
  • 6 Thrusters 95 lbs / 65 lbs
  • 9 Box Jumps
As many rounds as possible in 3 minutes; rest 1 minute.

Repeat all this 2 times

Jason sez,
I really like this style of workout and think we will add more of this type in the coming weeks. The minute of rest is really crucial for being able to keep the intensity high on all rounds. It is that level of intensity that is the key to gains in your all round level of fitness. Go as hard as you can for that 3 minutes and leave it all out there!!
Rounds went: 3 1/3, 2, 2 2/3, 2 1/3 [I think]
