Jim vs. Cindy

Another one I haven’t done in years, but this time with a better result.

“Cindy”
Complete as many rounds in 12 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

I finished 14 full rounds, plus 5 pull-ups in the 15th. By comparison, the last time I did the 12-minute version of this I only did 12 rounds, and when I did the 20-minute version I only got 17. So 14 in 12 feels like a solid improvement.

Nothing like a 20 minute AMRAP to cap a day off from work.

“Cindy”
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats

This is the first time I tried this one with the full twenty minutes. Unsurprisingly, I set a slower pace than when I did the twelve-minute version in June. But I got through 17 full rounds, plus five more pull-ups and seven more push-ups.  Solid enough for now.

The joy of home workouts is that you get to lie on the ground and pant afterwards with some degree of privacy.

“Cindy”
Complete as many rounds in 12 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

I got though 12 full rounds, plus another set of pull-ups and push-ups. I did another 400m run, this time as a “buy-in” as part of my warm-up. Could get to be a decent habit.
