Angie Comes To Town

One of the Crossfit “Girls”, Angie stopped by for a 22 minute visit. (It seemed so much longer)!

This is one of the benchmark WODS that focuses on cardiovascular bodyweight exercises and is relatively steady-state, with a pick up in activity at the start of the next exercise. That little burst doesn’t last long however.

Angie is done for time and is:

100 pull-ups, in my case, were band-assisted. These were the hardest.

100 push-ups, the easiest for me,

100 sit-ups, with an Ab-mat, and finally,

100 squats, which took the least amount of time.

Val did a scaled version and seemed to enjoy herself and did well. A nice way to end a cycle. Tomorrow should be a rest day. We’ll see.

AngieAngie is a bodyweight workout. 100 each of pull-ups, push-ups, squats and sit-ups. Since I have not yet mastered kipping pull-ups, I have to substitute with double the amount of jumping pull-ups. Or course this is a timed WOD. The last time I did this at Met-Rx gym, I did...
Angie, I Still Love You, Baby "There ain't another woman that comes close to you". Through the years Mick Jagger has kept himself fit but if he plans yet another Geriatric World Tour with his pal, Keith Richards, (who just admitting to snorting some of dearly departed dad's burial ashes), he might consider getting himself...
AngieIn 2006, most of my workouts were in the morning from 6:00-7:00, either at Crossfit Marina or Met-Rx. In 2007, the majority of the workouts have been in the pm and I generally prefer late afternoon or early evening. Today, I decided to at the very least do a morning...
Bodyweight TrifectaTonight's workout was difficult, as expected as I did exercises I haven't done with any consistency in some time, especially the pull-ups, which had been hampered by my "tennis elbow". What wasn't expected, was how crappy I felt afterwards. I initially thought it was just because I had been neglecting...
More Pull-upsStill tired and a little sore from yesterday's "Angie", today's workout was a cross between "Michael" and "Angie"; more like the evil spawn of both. It was: 36 Assisted Pull-ups (can't get enough of those)!36 Dips30 Back Extensions Run400 meter Run The similarity to Michael comes from the back extensions...
Fast Fun on Friday NightSome of the best workout sessions are the ones that take the least amount of time to get through and tonight was a nice example of that. There wasn't a lot of time tonight and I did not want to hit it too hard since I will be back in...
Deadlifts and RunningPutting both of those exercises in the same workout is just plain SICK!!! (Ok, I'll do it). Today's entree features again, 5 rounds of 400 meter runs. I did those today at Met-Rx on one of two GPS-measured 400 meter routes. New to all this running was doing 12 reps...
