Cindy
“Cindy” is a classic CrossFit WOD that focuses on bodyweight movements. It is an AMRAP style workout, meaning you complete as many rounds as possible in a set amount of time. Here’s the structure:
“Cindy”
20 minutes AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible):
• 5 Pull-ups
• 10 Push-ups
• 15 Air Squats
Tips:
1. Pacing is Key: “Cindy” is a workout that lasts for 20 minutes, so pacing is crucial. Find a pace that allows you to keep moving consistently throughout the entire duration.
2. Scale Accordingly: If standard pull-ups are challenging, consider using bands for assistance or performing ring rows. Modify push-ups as needed to maintain good form.
3. Break Strategically: Since the reps are relatively low, try to minimize rest between movements. For example, break up pull-ups and push-ups into manageable sets to avoid fatigue.
4. Maintain Form: As fatigue sets in, it’s important to maintain proper form, especially for push-ups to avoid unnecessary strain on the shoulders.
Benchmarks:
Benchmarks for “Cindy” can vary, but a good goal for beginners might be around 8-12 rounds. Intermediate athletes may aim for 15-20 rounds, while advanced athletes may strive for 20 rounds or more.
