Cindy

This is the 3rd time Cindy and I have had a rendezvous...and each time has gotten better, even if only slightly. The workout here being:

As many rounds in 20 min:

5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats

Here's my situation: 20:09 = 11 rounds. Last time I did this 20:00= 10 rounds. I have mixed feelings about this. I definitely made 10 of the last 15 squats in under 20:00, but from there I don't know when I broke 20:00. So I still completed more than I did in 20 min last time, but didn't quite get 11 FULL rounds in 20. I also tried doing less kipping pull ups as my back/shoulder is getting much better (but not perfect), so I didn't wanted to go a bit slower and not completely throw something out. I was actually surprised by how well I was able to do strict pull ups.

I also finally set up my heart rate monitor so I could see how many calories I am burning during each work out, it gives me my max heart rate and average heart rate and if I'm moving towards my goals.

So for Cindy (+ 10 min cool down) I burned 442 cal. (the workout itself I believe was 341 cal) 13% Cal. Fat. (Which, I don't care about that since my goal isn't to loose fat weight.) Avg. HR 157 Max. HR 193. It also tells how long you were in each zone but since I know that with crossfit or parkour I will be training in zone 3 for most of the time I can't really follow that unless I stop, rest for a few minutes, keep going, stop, rest, stop, rest, etc...

My goal as far as HR is to take it (resting heart rate) as low as it can go without being dangerous. I remember checking it about a month and a half ago, before working on precision jumping and it was in about the mid 60's. I would like that again.
