Workout of the Day

Skill
Spend 15 minutes working on a weakness

Conditioning
“Cindy”
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

Ahh, pull-ups, push-ups and air squats…probably the three most commonly cheated movements in CrossFit. Most people obviously don’t purposefully attempt to cheat, but it’s common for folks to lose focus in the midst of a workout and not get the full range of motion they need to be getting. The movements are always demonstrated with a focus on the points of performance and the standards are thoroughly explained, so try to do your best in keeping the movements up to those standards. When you hold yourself to strict standards, I promise it will pay off in the long run.
