11-10-20: Push-Ups, Sit-Ups and Kettlebell Swings

Elm City CrossFit Wod for Thursday, October 20th, 2011

OK, I didn't do 'em one armed. I can do those... but I can use the other hand to count the reps, with spares...

Ab-Mat sit-ups, legs spread a bit wide to take the hip flexors out of the equation a bit. Top position (not shown) is shoulders in front of the hips.

Kettlebell swings, as shown by CrossFit Games '11 3rd Place Women's individual winner Annie Sakamoto. Yup, she rules! (crossfit.com)

(Note: writing this a week later... memories are fading rapidly!)

My only goals were to try to maintain my numbers from round to round, not in a "save some for next round" kind of way, but just in that the total from the previous round became the next round's goal and to break 200 points. I didn't base that on a lot, and didn't work too hard to keep track of my total as I went. So it was kind of gratifying to hit that mark.

Movement/Round	1	2	3	4	Totals
Push-Ups	22	15	13	11	61
Sit-Ups	50	30	30	33	143

Total score: 204

Obviously, it wasn't the most successful goal, though I did manage to stay fairly consistent on the sit-ups... after the first round. :S

Round	1	2	3	4	5	Totals
KBS	19	19	16	18	18	90
