No Walking Tomorrow

| | Comments (185)

As all of us were a day behind, we started off with a variation on yesterday's WOD:

200m Walking Lunges
400m Run
100 Squats
400m Run

Nothing more comical then watching people try and jog after their quadriceps have totally given out.

Ironically, two folks nearby were also independently doing yesterday's WOD, and joined in the fun for a ring dip and chest-to-bar pullup ladder. We stopped before failure, as muggy weather, sweaty hands and lack of chalk was leading to some serious slippage off the pullup bar, and transitioned into some skin-the-cat instead.

Then, newcomer David put us through a core exercise called 'rocking', that did, indeed, rock most of us.

Walking down the steps at Fred's to brunch made clear how ugly our legs are likely to be tomorrow.

On the Run

This morning's group of ten featured CFNYC locals, along with visitors from the North (Toronto) and West (Denver).

The workout for today was Cindy on the Run:

Five Rounds for Time:
400m Run
5 Pullups
10 Pushups
15 Squats

This week we once again looked at some muscle-up skill drills: false grip practice, high-finish pullups, and jumping muscle-ups.

Finishing things off, we cycled through a head-to-head one minute knees-to-elbows challenge, then headed off to brunch.

Also worth noting: per brunch discussion, we're cranking at ever-increasing speed towards a CFNYC home of our very own. With luck, we should be up and running within a month.

Arms Like Silly Putty

Yoon and I attracted gawkers and co-participants, blazing through Cindy, but both falling short of our 20 round goal:

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 Pullups
10 Pushups
15 Squats

Paying no heed the fact that neither of us could really pull ourselves up by that point, we ran through a few muscle-up skill drills, and gave some passersby the chance to dip shakingly on our Power Rings.

Another beautiful weekend in the park.
