Saturday's Workout

Did the Brand X "Happy Day Workout" by Cindy Franz.
Station 1: Ring pull ups
Station 2: Box jumps
Station 3: Pull ups
Station 4: Situps Station
5: Thrusters

Partner A runs 200m while Partner B performs max. reps at station, then switch. Move to next station and repeat.
Partner A + Partner B + 100 (10 points per lap) = total points

I had a new person, Juliette, who had only been to one class before, and Jeff asked if I was sure - knowing she would not get as much done, I suppose or possibly afraid for her, since I run REALLY slow! haha.

First station, pull ups I did 3 sets of 5 pull ups and a set of 2 then a single for 18. Juliette came back and she did some jumping pullups before Jeff pointed out that if she did not get her chin over the reps don't count, so she ended up with just a few pull ups.

Next was the situps which I happend to ROCK at, so I got up to 62 points on my set, then I ran, came back and did jumping ring dips which I do not rock at, so 5:1 ratio gave me 5 equivalent dips. for at running total of 67.

Box jumps got me to 82

Last but not least I kicked ass on the thrusters with a 35 # bar by getting to 110.

I did my last run after giving Juliette a quick instruction on how to do it and worried a little that she should be using a PVC pipe. Told her to do whatever Jeff said if he came by. When I got back from my run, her boyfriend David was watching her form.

Since she was focusing mostly on form, she didn't count all her reps and so we counted 10 for each exercise except we just counted 5 for pull ups.

So we had 255 points all together. Not too shabby.

I helped her work on jumping pull ups on a better station for it and then we did some squatting practice.
