50 DUs (for me 12 in Step -Ups)
25 Push ups --mine are cheats but hey...they're pushups
Row 750 Meters
Thought I was going to die...but did it. Don't remember the time. Most were around 10- 12 mins
I'm thinking mine was 24:09. I know it was over 20:00.
I believe this was a 1st for me. We usually scale back the #'s for my workout...didn't on this one. YEA!!
When I started at CrossFit I couldn't even do one sit-up and today I did 50 in one whack!!
How can this be bad for someone with CP? Yes, we're slower and have to make adjustments. BUT...my core muscles are obviously much stronger (basically didn't exist when I started) and my back muscles are stronger. My spine is holding in place. When I complain about pain to my chiropractor, in most cases my back is not out. It's related to a muscles that needs to be worked. One major trick I've learned at CrossFit is to use a ball (cricket, lacrosse, tennis) and lay on it moving it around on the muscles while moving the muscle. This is extremely painful but the after effects are awesome.
