Dippy Helen

Not to bad for 6 am...

3x:
400 m run
21 kb swings
12 pullups
12 dips

Ray: 13:04
Kate: 13:24

Thought about making this a 5x and changing the kb to 12 swings, but stuck with a more Heleny approach.

Sick and wedding

Saw a DO for a spine issue I am having after dropping 185 lbs on my back this winter. Then I had the flu for a week but am better now. And then had a bridal shower. None of this is good for CF; espeically with the discovery that I really shouldn't lift heavy weights until my spine can be fixed.

But, back at it. Do what you can!

Kate and Josh Love:
800 m run
200 team squats
100 team pushups
50 team pair pullups
25 burpees (w/o pushup)
800 m run

As a team of two, complete the excercises. Only one person can be moving at a time.

Park Ranger Workout

Did Tabata That with my mom the park ranger and her park ranger friends. Love it.

pullups-8
situps-18
pushups-7
pistol squat (right leg pain)-8

Max pullups! and sub Annie

Kate and Josh had us do max pullups, and I (Rachel) got a PR: 29. I could have poked my eye out for not getting 30, but my hands were failing and my last attempt was not a full pullup. Next time.

Then Annie, but since I have not masted the double under, we subbed 3:1 normal jumps to doubles. 12:14

Frachel...

Well, I tried to do Fran, but I ended up straining my quad from (what else) yoga...too much stretching.

So subbed 95 lb power cleans for thrusters. Not as hard. Should have added burpees into the mix. But, still fun.

21-15-9
power clean
pull-ups

Rachel- 8:36

Fun, fun, with run, run.

3x:

400 m run
21 kb swings (35 lbs)
15 knees to elbows
9 pushups

Rachel: 12:36

Yoga

So, although it isn't CF compatable according to most people, I have been going to Bikram Yoga a couple times a week as it is the only thing that seems to keep my IT band feeling alright. It is certainly one of the most intense things I have ever done and feel pretty good about it. Just throwing that out there.

The class is 1.5 hrs long and is in a very hot, sweaty room. Lovely. It works!

Update: Last time I went I pulled my quad and have been struggling ever since. No more. Too stretchy. Oh well...

Swimming!

Ken and I went "backpacking" with some friends for the weekend; mostly we just swam in a perfectly warm lake and in two seperate swimming holes with clear, cool water and some waterfalls in the sun. Out attempt at excercise was thwarted, but we sure did enjoy relaxing...
