I've been lacking ideas, and the WOD's from Crossfit Mom have been emjoyable lately, so I think I'll stick to it for a bit. Today called for a Baby Angie.
Now, the last time I tried "Angie", I called her Baby Angie, because the full grown gal is, quite frankly, insane. So today's workout was more like "Itty Bitty Preemie Angie".
40 pull-ups - 15+8+8+9 (70 lb lat pulls with a close-ish pull-up grip)
40 push-ups - 25+10+5 (knees down)
40 squats (easy to do in one shot)
40 knee raises* - 20+12+8
Most sets I had to break up because I died before finishing. I took short, 15-20 second breaks between "sets".
It didn't take very long, so I added a few things:
Shoulder rotations - 8 lb db x 8, 5, 5 (like this, only laying down)
V-sit ball tosses - 4 kg x 40, 40
40 more squats. Did I mention I like squats?
* Knee raises. According to Crossfit Mom, this exercise was supposed to be "knees-to-elbows". Um, right. Aren't we supposed to be pregnant? I'd never tried these before, I'm pretty skeptical I could've done it even pre-pregnancy. Also, we have a serious lack of an accessible chin-up bar, so I couldn't even try doing partials. So I used the roman chair and did something more like this, which was difficult enough... though it missed out on half the exercise (the shoulder part). Ah well. Next summer.
