Cindy

Today's workout was the Cindy. The Cindy workout is a popular 20-minute bodyweight benchmark workout from CrossFit. Set a timer for 20 minutes and complete As Many Rounds As Possible (AMRAP) of:

5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 air squats

I saw recently that Tom Holland (aka Spiderman) has a PR of 27 rounds. That is absolutely incredible. I got 5 rounds in about 18 minutes. The pull-ups were a huge limiting factor for me. Halfway through round 3 I was starting to kip pretty hard with my legs to get myself up on the pull-ups. But I struggled through them nonetheless. 5 isn't great but at the end that is still 25 pull-ups, 50 push ups, and 75 air squats.

Finisher today was the kettlebell figure 8: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NGzHa2Zahe0

I had never done this before so I used a 12 kg bell to get the feel of it. I did two sets of 1 minute. Oooh baby could I feel my obliques burning during this movement. I liked it.

And finally I did a 1 minute static over head hold with double 16 kg bells.
