*******FRAT************
Hey Allbody, today is my CrossFit Birthday! My name is Aileen, a 38 yr old mother of a teenage girl.

I am a CrossFit athlete with humble beginnings. I never played a sport in high school, was always picked last for any team, was convinced I was not good at anything athletic. I had never squatted, deadlifted, cleaned. Never did pull ups, dips. Never rowed. I did run quite a bit, to mask an eating disorder, and to spend time bonding with my dad and sister, but I never aspired to more than just finishing.

My first workout was Michael in late September 2008, with just a few more sprinkled in over the next few months, due to intimidation from the WODs and a controlling abusive boyfriend who literally told me, “I don’t want you doing that CrossFit” When I found myself lying to go to the Guerrilla Fitness for Foundations, and saying that I was going to run on the treadmill but really was doing Griff at the track, I knew it was all wrong. He got the boot in December.

I was already reading the main site comments everyday, bought a pretty sparkly notebook to record my workouts, and resolved for the New Year of 2009 just 2 simple things:
1. Follow the main site, 3 on 1 off, no matter what the WOD, no cherry picking.
2. Make new friends.

I did well.

3 weeks into January, I decided to start posting and chose Strong Lil Pony for my nickname. As a girl I loved the Little House on the Prairie books and read them all several times. Laura, very young and small for her age, recalled leaping over a huge barrel and astounding her pa. "There was only Pa standing there with his blue eyes shining, looking at Laura. "Well!" he said to her. "You're only a little half-pint of cider half drunk up, but by Jinks! You’re as strong as a little French horse!" For some reason that resonated with me and I just always remembered it.

S’more and Playoff Beard were the first to welcome me. Many more friends followed, and so did my confidence and physical skills. I started to attend certs: Level 1, Barbell (at the cert with Rip, he squeezed my arm and said “where’d you get those 13” biceps without lifting, woman?” It was the first time I ever benched, and I did 115) Gymnastics, Kettlebell, Nutrition. From 0 to 60…
DL 1RM: 255
BS 3RM 160
P 1RM 95
FS 3RM 120
PC 3RM 115
BP 1RM 125 (last week!)
I grew strong. I learned.

The biggest, hardest lessons: Acceptance. Surrender.

Accept my body’s need for rest. Accept the fact that I have certain physical limitations that I must train around, not simply ignore. Accept imperfection – not every workout *must* be a PR, or done as RXed.

Surrender to Love. Like many, I was afraid of failure. I had a child to protect, I vowed I would NOT bring her pain again by yet ANOTHER failed relationship. Keep a man at arm’s length, if not more.

Then I met Goat. And though I fought it, kicking and screaming, I fell in love. I did not want a boyfriend. I was not ready to be loved for exactly who I am, to be cherished and adored. I could not fathom that someone would drop everything… for me. With all my frailties and imperfections, I felt undeserving of such warmth and care. I was strong on the outside, weak within. It took many months to believe that he would not hurt me. I grew strong. I learned.

Today, Goat lives with my daughter and me. We run CrossFit Rising out of my one car garage, 210 sq feet of compressed bad-a**ery. Marriage and a family is in our future.

To have found my inner athlete, to realize that not only am I very strong – I have more potential to be realized, to have made good friends, and best friends, and found a sincere love, a soulmate, who shares my passion for CrossFit and the community here… And all of this in one short year…is amazing.

Thank you Coach & Lauren for your gift. s’more, Playoff Beard, Herm, Eric, jakers, Stephen, Franiel, Benny1, pokey, Paul, Gene, Corey Bibolet, bingo- you are all my brothers. Thanks for looking out for me. J9, Xtina, in8girl, FitMom, Laura DeMarco, Kelly Moore- you inspire me to be strong, be tough, and gut it out. CynthiaJ, Rebe- my PaleoChix, business partners and kindred spirits.

Lastly…Cookie, a soul sister indeed. I love you so much, you are always on my mind, in my thoughts and prayers. I am so happy for you and the journey that we share. Being a single mom was hard enough for me with 1 child. You did it with 3. I am blessed with your friendship.

I have lofty goals for 2010. I know that I will DO WORK (BlackCatXFit) and get 'er done- with the help of this family I have found here.

GIDDY-UP!

YES!!!

As a small guy I'm loving to bw stuff!

Great way to start the decade!!

I knew it! Finally I predicted the Glassman hopper correctly.

Well hello there! Happy New Year to my Brother and Sister Crossfitters and Happy Anniversary to me! Today is my fourth Crossfit anniversary. 4 years of fitness, health, and community.

Are you new here? My name is bingo, and as I've done for a couple of years I'll offer up an explanation of each WOD for Crossfit newcomers for the month of January. Call it my gift to the other experienced members of our "cyber-gym" and an anniversary gift to myself. I will try to "pre-answer" the typical questions that come up time and again with our work-outs. For those of you with more CF experience I hope these will be helpful, but please remember that I am specifically trying to assist the new and inexperienced Crossfitter with their New Year's Resolutions.

Let's all remember that we were once new to Crossfit. Feel free to direct newcomers to a "bingo" post. If you do answer, and you really should try, please be kind. This is a cool place, and it has always been more friendly than not.

Thanks to all of you for letting me hang out with you here on crossfit.com. And most heartfelt and humble thanks to my friends Greg and Lauren for this place, this Crossfit, and for your friendship.

--bingo

Cindy after Angie, is just sick. But I love it!!!

Happy New Year CrossFit World!

I have been hoping for another go around with Cindy soon! Last time I was sick. This time I am in full health!

bingo=true Crossfit spirit...thank you brother for giving back in a world that does nothing but take...awesome!

did someone say we had not done enough pull ups lately?

anyways, for my last WOD of 2009 I got the following from Shane Skowron's Comprehensive Bodyweight Workouts Version 2.0 (available in the Crossfit Discussion Forums Training Section):

5 rounds of
1 minute max rep double unders
6 Muscle ups

My result was 19:22, with 178 DU's
I am sore for the first time in a long while!

Hey Evan (#2),

I hope you choke on a bone...

Just kidding, dude. My 6'/204lb a$$ is just jealous.

I do love it though also. Keep the BW work coming; I've never felt better!

nice way to start 2010 :)

Happy new year. To a great decade!

And away we go...

"Cindy" and "Mary", the Crossfit twins, always arriving together and offering up your choice of pain. Remember, this is Crossfit--it doesn't have to be fun to be fun.

Before I talk about these WOD (Work-Out of the Day) a couple of words about "The Girls". Yup, that's right, we name our benchmarks after girls. Kinda like hurricanes. You'll know why when you're done. These, and the other girls, will come up again and again. "Cindy" is often the first WOD that gets done "as Rx'd", as written or prescribed.

You're new here. New to Crossfit. We're nuts here. We time almost everything here, and we definitely measure our results. It's all about intensity. Get comfortable with uncomfortable. Since you are a newcomer let me make it easy -> do "Cindy" (we always "do" the girls; people will think you're nuts too when you say this). If you are not only new to Crossfit but not in terribly good shape scale "Cindy" to 10:00 instead of 20:00.

As many rounds as possible (AMRAP) in 20 minutes of the triplet 5 Pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats. Let's take each one in turn. Can you do a pull-up? Great. Do 5 pull-ups, any way you can. The default pull-up in Crossfit is the kipping pull-up (take a look on the left side of the main page under "Exercises and Demos"). Can't do a pull-up? No worries, do jumping pull-ups, or use an iron woodie or other band, or use a Gravitron assist machine.

10 Push-ups. Chest to deck. Do them from your knees if you have to, just don't call them "girl push-ups". There are literally hundreds of Crossfit women here who will do standard push-ups better and faster than most of the men!

15 squats. That's unweighted squats. No bar. Just you and gravity. Squat below parallel then stand up being sure to open your hips fully at the top. One. Whenever you see "Squats" in Crossfit this is what it means: no weight. Go fast.

That's it. Oh, now do all three again. And again until the clock hits 20 minutes. Pant. Puke if you have to (we're strangely OK with that). Come back here and tell us how you did. Entry into the Big Dawgs club is 20 rounds of "Cindy". There will be people above 30. Yes...they really did go that fast.

A couple brief notes about "Mary" for the semi-new:

Handstand push-ups are an advanced move. There are a number of videos in the "Exercises and Videos" section on substitutions and progressions. The good folks at Brand X (click "Start Here" and then click "Brand X scaled WOD") will almost surely offer some links, too. One-legged squats or pistols-do one with your right leg, then one with your left leg, then...until you've done 10.

And congratulations on discovering Crossfit. Welcome aboard. Fasten your seatbelt.

3-2-1...GO!

Go Donna!!!

What a great wod to start out the new year.

Ohhhh yea!!!!! Bring it on!

Bonne annee tout le monde

tommorow's workout:

sit on the couch and watch college football for 12 straight hours!!

Well, Merry Xmas, and to all a Happy New Year.

Bingo, thanks for starting off again this Jan. Newbies, when you read, you would do well to listen to Bingo. Great advice, just the right amount of humour for seasoning.

To everone else out there in CrossFit-land, hit the workouts hard, and to those us us who fight, police and protect, stay safe this year round.

Mary's still too much of a big girl for me to handle, so it's off to say hi to Cindy, and quite possibly, Pukie.

Enjoy,

Happy New Year CF world. Today is my anniversary and it has quite honestly changed my life - not just my fitness, but the way I view the world is different now.

Good luck to all those embarking on the Crossfit journey in 2010 and thanks to the Crossfit community. And to everyone on deployment - stay safe, we're thinking of you (even all the way from australia).

So what's tomorrow??? Murph or Tabata Something Else??

My arms.....

two girls one week its a miracle!
hopefully Saturday is "fight gone bad" or "Jason"

#1 Pony, GIDDY-UP is right! Awesome.
Congrats.

RedPoint Crossfit bringing in 2010 with the first main-site WOD pic of the year! Great gym, great people, great workouts!

FRAT

Pony, thank you for the great post. I started following the main site WODs earlier this year, and the encouragement I got from you and a few other people really showed me what was so special about the community here. Thanks again for sharing.

Pony, your post should be required reading not just for ambitious Crossfitters but also as an illustration of positive thinking. All that good stuff? You earned it! Whether earned with sweat or with karma...its yours. Just ask Bingo, he's been earning his by keeping his head up, heart strong, and a smile on his face for 4 years now. (Probably much longer than that, if I know Bingo even a little.)

I don't think it matters at all whether we all meet in person or online...are 20 or 40 or 60... consider our "Goats" to be lifting or metcons (or boyfriends ;) )... It just matters that we do like Pony and commit to the work and make new friends.

Happy New Year

Cindy done - 11 Rounds only, and 35 jumping pullups in the last minute and a half when I knew there'd be no round 12. My poor arms..

New Year resolution - to post more of my times for those workouts I didn't do so well at...

Yeah! What a way to start a year! Looking forward to this WOD! Hope to start the year with a good PR!

Happy New Year!

"Puke if you have to (we're strangely OK with that)."

Newcomers, don't think for a second that puking during or after your workout is acceptable. It is not. If you even begin to think that you are actually going to hurl, stop or slow down.

That's just mean. The day after Angie?

Thanks for posting WODs that can be done with little to no equipment or a gym for the New Years. It really helps out those whose local gyms are closed during these couple days

Happy 2010 to everyone out in Crossfitdom!!

Happy New Year everyone!! great workout to start a new year

Happy New Year fellow CrossFitters!!! It's my 21st birthday today!! I'll be celebratin with "Cindy" today!!

Happy New Year fellow Crossfitters!!! It's my 21st birthday today so I'll be celebrating with "Cindy"!!!

Happy New Year!

Cindy at midnight on the new years with my wife, now that's a good way to start it off! Even better since I set a new PR of 26 over my last PR of 22!

Gonna give Cindy a shot in the morning, as my first Crossfit WOD ever. I've been doing SS for the past year, so hopefully I'll be up to par!

Did Casper just do 14 rounds of Mary?!?!? niiiice.

Gosh Aileen, I've been seeing your posts all year long, but what a big bold beautiful way to start the new year. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible and inspirational story. Like you, I'd never done most of the things we do as Crossfitters, and like you my life has been transformed by the challenges of Coach and Lauren's system, bolstered by the virtual and real communities of Crossfit. Was it just yesterday that I was so moved by Sarah's incredible story?

Happy New Year everybody, and thanks, as always to Coach, Lauren, Tony, Lynn, Bingo, and everyone in this amazing community. Benny1 is right, it doesn't matter if we meet online or in person. On the other hand, now that we've met online, I can't wait to meet StrongLilPony at the Games this year!

Cindy 9 rounds, plus 5 pull-ups and 6 push-ups.

Man, wanted to get 20 bad (this is my first time doing Cindy). Started off strong, got a little weak in the middle, and finished strong.

19 rounds. Leaves room for improvement, good way to start the year.

41/m/176cm/73kg

Mary

11 rounds +5 HSPUs (last time 11 rounds +5 HSPUs +10 Pistols +7 Pull-ups PR)

All exercises unbroken. HSPUs head to floor on push-up holds, knees on large swiss ball.

Woke up to find Angie still beside me. Strange, as I thought she left last night. Snuck out though for 13 rds of Cindy. Had more in me, but Angie tracked me down in the 15th minute...

25/m/5'11"/180lb

Took on Cindy today ... 21 rds, got into the 7th pushup and time. Great way to start the year!

PONY~ Splendid reflection. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on personal and CF achievements.

Happy 2010 CF Community.

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year everyone!
Many Blessings!

did Cindy right before I came home-
23 R + 5 Pull ups,

all pull ups toes asst only and prior to this did Cindy with gravitron

Erin

Pony, you are strong in many ways, and you have given strength to others. Your generosity of spirit has changed lives.

Welcome to everyone that is here for the first time. Read the FAQ, read Bo's starting message on the message board, figure out how to scale the workouts, keep an open mind to learning new things, prepare to be humbled many times, and start getting stronger.

Happy New Year everyone.

Cindy as rx' d 25 rounds+5 pull ups
far from my 28 rounds pr but not so bad considering my yesterday' s new year binge party LOL

Happy New Year!

M/38/6'/200

Bingo I have a queston. I do pull ups at home and there is not enough space to do kipping pull ups so what should I substitute should I do dead hang pull ups or jumping pull ups what do you think

Pony, thanks for sharing the story of "you", It's strange how we all conversate on here but some of us just dont know the true story behind some of our motivation. It's awesome to here the success stories of people like yourself and VERY inspiring.

Sorry I haven't been on in a while, I've still been doing the WOD's when I could but from Thanksgiving to Xmas I usually just kinda hide. It's not exactly my favorite time of year (or wasn't until a few days ago.) You see I'm 32 and have felt EXTREMELY short changed in life from losing my Mom 9 years ago.(THE most important thing in my life all through my years)This time of year was ours. We were the best of friends always and loved the holidays. Everything was always a lil brighter, people a lil nicer. When she died the holidays physically started to hurt my heart. I still had Dad and my lil sister(by 4 years) but I was always taught by Dad that Mom is the most important thing on earth. My sister un fotunately has fallen prey to the drug scene, and we dont talk anymore, I just cant have my children around that, and Dad and I had gotten really close.

He remarried a woman named Barbara whom I treated absolutely dreadful at first. I didn't know how to be a stepson, and just went about it all wrong. But the past few years we too have gotten closer. Then unfortunately, last October I lost my Dad to a heart attack.

They say you should never out-live your children and they are absolutely right, but laying your parents to rest at an early age, when your just starting to enjoy each other as friends...well it just plain sucks! I think of them both every day and hurt so much it's physical sometimes not just emotional but theres a country song out right now called I Need You Now and one line sums it up perfectly...I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.

But this year my outlook changed Barbara is the only person left on the planet who loved my Dad as much as i do and this has brought us so close its like she gave birth to me. I even bought her a Mom necklace and charm to show where our relationship stands. If it werent for her I dont know how I'd have made it through the past year. She just kinda made me feel whole again, it feels like I have a Mom and I can't begin to explain how its changed me.

I wrote her a letter for Xmas to explain everything to her and apologise for being such a bastard to her early on and stuffed it in a Xmas card for her. The poor thing couldn't talk when she was done reading it. But she now knows if I died tommorrow how much I truly love her. The holidays have taken on a new meaning to me, I cant explain it, but it sure is nice to smile again.

My only New Years Resolution: Star posting more often I missed being able to talk on here and just kinda get away for a few minuetes. Some people have video games..I have Crossfit!

Juan #63

Welcome aboard young Brother! Boy, do I wish I had CF when I was 15 yo...man...

Switch it up between deadhang and jumping PU. If you are doing a high volume WOD or a speed WOD like "Cindy" I would suggest JPU, but it really doesn't matter. Just be careful NOT to do negatives on the way down on the JPU when you are going for speed--really good way to induce Rhabdomyolysis.

So that I'm clear, DO NOT DO NEGATIVES ON JUMPING PULL-UPS.

Otherwise remember that it's you vs. you, and record what you did so that you can compare next time. Good luck. We're all glad to have you here at Crossfit.

#1 Pony,

Beautiful post sister! I still remember reading your very first comment, seems like just yesterday...sigh.

It's been great getting to know you and follow your amazing journey this past year, but I've got a sneaky suspicion that 2010 is going to be your best yet!

Keep up the good work and as always, Never Quit!

Your friend,

Jer

Pony- great post :) Congrats girl!!!!

Really want to try Mary, but I am not efficient enough at HSPU's to keep the heart rate up as well as Cindy will. By the time I finish 5 HSPU's, my HR will probably start dropping...LOL...

Yes, Carole crushed me again. That is two days in a row.

A thank you to all the men and women of CF that post their acomplishments and their setbacks. I have learned so much from everyone. Pony, AllisonNYC, Laura DeMarco, In8girl, Fitmom, Fitmom mom's, Carole, JuliePlatt just to name a few. I always look for your posts and other women, you are all an inspiration.

The posts help me prepare for my workouts and help me push forward to times and weights that I would not have attempted. Bingo is great for the explaination of the WOD. Read and learn.

My crossfit gym is my garage. My workout partners are Hazel the Beagle, who assists me with bodyweight WOD, climbs on my back during pushups, on my chest during sit ups and barks when my squats are not deep enough. And Kitty, the stray cat that moved in our garage and won't leave, so we adopted her. She just watches. My hubby Tum, he just makes fun of me, not crossfit minded, just a strong farmboy.

If you are new to this site, stay with it. Been using this site since April 2008. Took a long time to post my results but would always read the posts. Make this a little part of you everyday. I don't live to crossfit, I crossfit to live. And I love every minute of it.

Awesome life change Pony. Thanks for caring about me when I thought I had a small case of rhabdo. This community is awesome!

Happy New Year to all!!
I LOVE CROSSFIT!!!!

not feeling it today did an extra 100 push ups yesterday and arms were dead today.

Whenever this WOD comes up I always chose Cindy, Always.
Bad shoulders prevent handstand push ups and bad knee makes one leg squats difficult.
Well its time to have the power to change.

Mary:
Modified to fit my needs with the knowlegde I will improve.
feet on bench for push ups.
one leg squat to home depot bucket
blue band pull ups

My "power-girl" name derived from my old gym partners. A small black iron gym, I belonged for many years. One of my workout partners told me that when I arrived at the gym the others in the gym would make the comment, "Oh Oh, here comes that power girl". To impress me they would add weight to make themselves look good. Most guys don't want to be outlifted by a "girl". At first I took offense to the name. But my devoted workout partner told me you are an inspiraton to these guys, you make them work harder, you make them stronger. Power girl rules. I'll never forget his compliment. So the name stuck. He died several years ago. I never competed in another powerlifting contest. But through crossfit I still make him proud.

Pony,
Thanks for an inspiring post to start the new year. It's a testament of your personal strength and that of the Crossfit community.

My New Year's resolution: sub-4 minute Fran.

And finally, Cindy today (fighting a cold and still PR'd--thank you Crossfit). 21 rounds plus pullups and pushups.

Happy New Year! Ryan here again..I'm 9yrs old and my Dad let me post this. I did the 'Cindy' WOD and got 15 rounds completed...with my assisted pull-up bar and getting better with my push-ups. I did the WOD with my big sister so there was some good family competition.

Happy New Year Crossfitters. I've been doing Crossfit for 2 years and continue to be amazed by the way I feel and the people on this website. Thank you.

Nice job on Mary. Congrats on having the courage to try her.

Thanks for telling your "name's" story. I have wondered about that, and figured there was a reason. I am sure your former workout partner would be proud.

Mary: 7 rounds. Assisted one leg squat. Last set of pullups, ugly.

Cindy: 11 rnds as Rx'd

"cindy"

28 rds. plus 5 squats

This was my first attempt at 'crossfit'

I did the Cindy routine, and managed 20 rounds in 20 minutes.

Oddly enough, push ups were what I had the most difficulty with, especially around round 14. ANd I always thought push-ups were one of my strengths!

Question, I have no pullup bar at my house and am new to crossfit, provided I want to give Cindy a try, is there another exercise I could do to make up for the pull ups?

M/35/72"/244

21 rounds of Cindy plus 5 pull-ups (jumping)

All gyms closed, so I had to shovel my way through the snow to the closest set of pullup bars outside (6 deg F, -14 deg C).

2010 starts a 2-month strength cycle for me, before lacrosse season starts again in mid-March. So in the spirit of that+Cindy:

Jen started Day 1 of Crossfit today. She did 2 rounds of CF warm-up, then she learned the back squat, front squat, and overhead squat. She said she felt good so I had her do Cindy on Puppies:

Complete as many rounds in 12 minutes as you can of:
3 Assisted Pull ups (gray band)
4 Push-ups -- started with full push-ups, switched to push-ups from knees on Round 4
7 Squats

Jen completed 12 rounds in 11:35, and rested the last half-minute. And apparently, this wasn't enough - she went on a run with Seumas afterward!

Did "Murph" as RX w/vest today that's a Crossfit Guayaquil tradition...39:22 PR!!

First time doing these for weight. The most I've done with an overhead squat is 75lbs, so no suprise that's where I got stuck with these.

I'm a bit behind, but I saw a group of guys doing today's Cindy/Mary at the Y. It's always nice to see fellow CrossFitters.

12+5+10+2

still so smoked from doing 100 pullups yesterday that all i managed was 5 rounds. nearly all the pullups today were jump, or negative, or partial but i did them on a real bar not the gravitron.

progress not perfection as they say

happy new year

Cindy - 15 rounds
(rough night last night)
Happy New Year!

ugh, those damn pull ups slow me down so much.

I was aiming for 10 rounds of cindy and I made it, but compared with you guys it's nothing.

I started out well, the first three rounds were going well at 1 round a minute, then the pull ups just slowed way down.

Frustrating.

Starting to get kipping down i think...

As the new year, I'm starting it off by joining the community and tackling Mary! I've always done Cindy and usually get about 20rds done, but I'm loving HSPU, so Mary's the girl of 2010!

My name is Sam, and i have a training group who studies ninjitsu in Arkansas. Mixing crossfit fitness with the ninja fighting and evasion techniques really produces some fine shadow warriors! : )

Happy 2010 Everyone!

Wow! Ths the first time I've read posts/comments. I'm loving it (especially StrongLilPony). I've been doing Crossfit for over a year now, but not pushing myself the way I should be. I find myself cherry-picking the WOD's I wanna do and altering others. Bad, bad girl! I wish I have done more than just log on for workouts and demos. I want to take these workouts to the next level, but one of my resolutions is to do a full marathon this April. I'm sure with my training schedule, I will have little left to give to CF. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can do both? When I finish the marathon, I'm going to dedicate to pushing myself like I should've been this whole time.

I have a feeling someone is probably going to yell at me about looking at past posts :)

C/D: hip/bar ext. to vertical, 1x15; 10# reverse hypers (on GHD), 1x15; practiced butterfly kipping pull-ups.

Off PR by 3 rnds. Head-to-floor HSPU; ATA pistols; strict pull-ups.

Fell flat on this one today, esp. on the pull-ups. I don't think I've fully recovered from doing Angie yesterday. Just didn't have much drive.

Cindy

3 squats shy of 17 rounds.

This is a nice little move up from my old record of 16 rounds. I trucked right along with hardly a stop for a breath. The pushups are starting to get easier, and I'd say progress there is responsible for the whole round improvement.

"Deadhang Cindy" (Take 2)

19 rounds (pr by 1 round 10pushups 15 squats)

I'm pretty surprised I got that much of a PR to be honest. I went into this pretty dang sore from yesterday's Angie. Once again since it was deadhang, my pullups quickly became broken into 3+2 somewhere at the midpoint, and then down to 3+1+1. Pushups were all unbroken which i think may be a first. Squats were a breeze as usual.
Crazy thing is...my Rx'd Cindy PR is 20 rounds...once i get my pullup bar from Rogue set up I'm smelling a true PR coming :)

5 round splits:
3:38 / 9:11 / 15:04 / 19:57 (4 rounds)

Aileen -StrongLilPony-
Thanks for sharing your personal story. It was incredible...I know we all have a story and yet we really we hardly ever share them. I don't post all the time but i always look for you and many of the other women! I'm doin WOD's almost always by myself and it's encouraging to hear from other crossfitters and especially to know that your story (while still in progress!) has come to a happy place!Thanks again.

Cindy today was a bit tough...sick over xmas...
Rx 14 rounds...i was ok with it since this was 1st WOD after over a week off.

HSPU against wall to 6” stack
Foam roll after

First time with Cindy. 15 rounds plus 5 PU. I was surprised at how well I kept pace for the first 9 rounds...then the wall at 10 min. mark. Slowly lost steam after that. Last round plus 5 PU took entire last 2:10!

Overall, I'm happy. Second full CF cycle almost finished!

Happy New Year Everyone!!

25 rounds 5 pullups.

Not sure if it was Angie yesterday or the New Year's Eve party but, Cindy was slow and painful today. Five rounds off my normal and 7 off my PR.

I took a week off from pullups to rest my shoulder and have really paid for it the last 2 days.

26/F/152

First time ever trying out crossfit. 10 rounds + 5 pullups and 8 pushups.

All pullups were jumping or assisted. Despite all the lifting I do I can't do pullups straight. Clearly it is good I began this program. Last few sets up pushups were on the knees. My heart could keep up but my chest and arms couldn't quite keep up.

2 years ago I weighed close 235lbs before changing my life. I now come from a "typical" gym background---5-6 days per week, distance running/spinning, and heavy lifting. But this was hard. That why I really loved it.

I've been doing Rippetoe's SS for about half a year, so trying Crossfit is new for me. It's tough, so I'mma have to have some serious willpower to follow through. But I will try my best!

DARN FILTER!! Well my Pony girl (comment #1) Happy CF Birthday!! I am so proud of you - who you are and all you have done and where you are headed :) You inspire me as a woman and and a friend. You nudged me to post and so it began - so much in common and to talk about!! You are a true shining star in the community. You and Goat may have a tiny affilliate but it has more heart and enthusiasm than any other out there! You motivate me daily with your words of wisdom, positive attitude and love of life. You are with me during every wod, good and bad - in my pocket - reminding me that tall socks and lip gloss make me lift heavier stuff and running and rowing to Eve will bring on a PR every time. I love you my sister and cant wait to see you again! There are some people you encounter in life that truly make an impact - you my friend are one of them for me! ROCK ON!

Jen has inspired Marci to also try Crossfit. I committed her to giving it 1 week - as long as I give up treats for the same week (small price to pay). So, we started day one today. We did "Cindy" - I did Pack (5 unassisted pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats in 12 minutes), and Marci did Puppies in 12 min of: 3 assisted pull ups with double blue band, 5 push ups, 10 squats;

Well I find myself humbled again. I am paying the price for slacking off. Today Cindy proved she is still more than a match for me. My PR is 17 and today I was nowhere near it as I struggled to get 11 complete rounds. I think doing Angie yesterday while wearing my weight vest took its toll.

Tomorrow is Barbara and I am thinking there seems to be a pattern here. Hmmm ha ha ha

Exactly how do the filters on this work?

f/40/174/5'11"

I was so happy yesterday that after doing 100 assisted pullups and 100 pushups, my elbows didn't hurt. Everything else did... but not my elbows.

Then I find out that today's workout is the very same exercises. I thought I could complain about it or do something else but I decided that I would give it a go since in real life, you often have to do things that you're not completely rested or prepared for.

So, I did a wimpy Cindy... keeping in mind that I wanted my elbows to continue to not hurt.

20 min of:
5 trx strap back flies
10 knee pushups
15 squats

17 rounds

Posting a number seems a little silly since I ended up scaling two of the exercises. Then again, I had a worthwhile 20 minute workout.

Now... I just have a few more cookies and chocolate to eat (thus clearing the house out of junk food) and then I can get back onto a decent diet and lose the pounds I gained over the holidays. I could throw it out... but ... ah heck... I'm nearly there.

I especially loved the personal posts lately... Pony, J-Bird, Power Girl, Bingo... what a great community.

Best of the New Year to everyone

Here's to starting over!

Happy New Year ALL!!

was tired today: did 10 rounds of cindy in 10 minutes

It's very inspiring to see so many people stay focused and continually motivated through the year but even more so to see the level of these increase at the beginning of a New Year!

I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, and recently Level I CrossFit Instructor... Fitness has become my life. In the past I struggled with being consistent with working out and staying focused... That all changed about three years ago. Because I was over weight my quality of life was lacking and I realized I was too young to not change it!

I like many styles of training and the problem is I like them ALL! lol... CrossFit is my favorite by far!!! The problem with that is I over train and become so broken down my body gives out...Long story short... Thank you for the great motivation this site and all the great CF athletes out there give me!

To hold myself accountable I am going to list my 2010 resolutions:
1. Train and complete my second half marathon with PR...
2. Do CrossFit three times per week pre marathon and then follow it as rx'd post marathon...
3. Be a "balanced" athlete
4. Learn Spanish! lol :)

Today's workout: First time with "Cindy"= 10rounds. I had to do jumping pull-ups after three rounds and modified push-ups after three rounds (shoulders are popping)... Overall happy with result... I'm definitely going to beat this!
5K run = 28:01
50-25# DB swings; 50 push-ups; 150 sit-ups/ 9:54

Sub'd lat pulldown for pullups.

First CF WOD!

I report for OCS in 3 weeks. I'm sure we will do more than 20 min smoke sessions, so I pushed it to 60 min. Felt like it took me 30 min to warm up. Always a good sign...

49 sets.

Cindy as RX = 22 rounds. PR by 1 round!!!

Happy New Years everyone!!!

Finnaly chose "Mary" stood next to a pole and grabbed it for about half of my one legged squats other than that RX.

21 Rounds + 5 PU - Tied PR (Didn't realized that puts me in the "Big Dawgs" club for this BM - Awesome!)

Forgot to say I did Cindy - oops

17 even (pr 20 + 5 pull ups, not good)

I'm setting PR's all the time! I absolutely love this program! Just when I feel like I'm in shape and making good progress I do better and better. I set a PR last night on Angie by a whopping 7 minutes. I just knew in my mind that tonight I would be too sore to complete another pull/push/squat WOD, but to my surprise I did 19 rounds. Thats 4 rounds better than last time, which was 2 round better than the time before it. EAT,SLEEP,BREATHE,CROSSFIT

Thought that I would take Cindy relatively easy this afternoon. That lasted about 1 round. Final score: 22 Rd +5/10/4 (only 11 squats short of my PR!!!!)

I can only wonder how I would have done if had not ran 13.1 miles earlier in the day....

I picked Mary, first time doing Mary did 10 rounds, the only reason i picked Mary is because i am not good doing Pistols and did 28 rounds before doing Cindy, Handstand push-ups were a challenge, along with the pistols, my saying is work at what you are weak at and fortified your Strenght,

Completed 10 rounds doing Mary..

Did modified pushups - it kills my right wrist, but I am getting better at pushups! :) Squats are easy for me, but I do not have a pull up bar, so I did deadlifts instead with light weights.

Mary 9 rounds plus HSPU and OLS. So close to 10 but the PU were killing my arms and since a right biceps strain, I did not want to reinjure it. I felt good about 135 PU and the HSPU all felt very good with full ROM on all - usually I start to not go down all the way in the later rounds but not today!

Cindy

21 rounds

pull ups strict but had to assist after 13th round - need more work on those, but considering angie yesterday, I'm happy.

0508 = 16 rounds
9607 = 15 rounds

First Mary. I have been ducking it since I started over a year ago. I decided to hit it today since it contains two of my weak links that I want to work in 2010 - HSPU and OLS. Used a ring for assistance on OLS and hung feet over dip bars to assist HSPU. Scaled 9 rounds + 5 HSPU, 10 OLS, and 11 PU. Finished last four PU around 20.15.

22 Rounds. That is a PR.

I thought it would be garbage after doing Barb and Angie in the previous days. Not so. So what is the story coach? Adaptation?

To Bingo. Thanks for your posts. I consider myself just past beginner and always get something from your posts. I like your attitude. We must be gentle with people, even when they are boneheads, because you never know when you will need a hand yourself. CF rules, it has changed my life. Thanks Coach and I look forward to a great year.

A thankful Mountie.

pullups were kipping. ripped hand on last round, so skipped last set of pullups

12 rounds minus 5 pullups

Cindy as rx'd (did jumping last time)

14 rounds + 5 pullups + 7 pushups = dead

(may have been 15 but this leaves room for improvement)

M/ 35/ 132 lbs/ 5'-6"
I decided to go back to this WOD that i missed and I did it with a twist.. I did it wearing a 20 lb vest. This was my first time using my weighted vest... WOW... sooo much harder and it really hit me hard. I loved it.
I did 5 rounds of MARY and then did 5 rounds of Cindy in about 23:00
Just as an indication, I usually can get 30 + rounds with Cindy and about 13-14 rounds with Mary. I am looking forward to doing more WODs with the weighted vest. Cindy and Mary will try again sometime soon.

PR! Didn't think I'd make it with a few minutes to go but a final push got me a new best.
Dead hang pull ups.

17 rounds + 5 PUs + 10 Push ups + 1 squat

[17 rounds + 5 PUs + 10 Push ups + 1 squat]

As RX'd. 22 rounds in time. First 5 in 3:20, 10 in 7:11, 15 in 12:37, 20 in 17:03. Pushups broken from 13th round (PR), squats slow to ensure full ROM, and pullups were slow from rip in hand from 3rd round...still not sure how that adds up to a loss of 3 rounds from last time, since I didn't feel slowed from Angie the night before.
