I had more success running through a circuit today -- no thwartation at all.
Based on a Crossfit Mom WOD (Tanner), I did this:
4 rounds
Row 500m*
15 presses #30 bar
15 squats #30 bar
15 good mornings #40 bar
*Had to switch to "Run 400m" after 2nd set because someone snagged the erg. A round of 400m at 6.7 mph took the same time as 500m row (2:20 min), and entailed a similar aerobic effort.
Finished off with two sets each of
30 v-sit ball tosses
20 push-ups (all but the first 4 were knees-down)
Pregnant crossfit isn't quite the same as regular crossfit. Whereas in the original you push push push until you are pretty much ready to drop or puke, that sort of strain is not advisable for knocked-up types. Instead, we are supposed to go for steady work for maintenance. So I figure this means "sweaty and red-faced, but not on the verge of fainting" (noting too that the verge of fainting comes more easily when one is hosting a parasite).
