Nancy: Oh, Now I'm feeling rather sheepish. re: row times. I never thought to look. But now I will. AND, I do believe that the folks on this thread are superheroes...look at the statistics for over-50's in the US. I'm guessing that the majority of us here are probably in the top 1 percentile (of over-50s)in any fitness related category (body fat, cardio capacity, etc).

WU: SU/pullups/dips/85# Benchpress/#20 Wallball shots/tactical lunges
WOD: I forget who I stole this from (Diane? John(s)? Deb?), but I do recall the time to beat was 14 something:
60 Pushups
50 Ring rows
40 Situps
30 Squats
20 Ring Dips
10 20" Boxjumps
5 Burpees

My time was 19:37.9 The ring rows slowed me down waaaay more than I anticipated. And I got a call from my daughters school between Situps and Squats (I know, I know...who interrupts a workout to answer the phone? I only do it because Mom's deployed.)

That would be my creation. I'll go back and check my time see how we compared. Yeah, 14-somethin', but I didn't have any phone calls and my form on the ring rows was not great as I recall.

10 ghd sit-ups
10 straight-legged DLs w/ 45# bar

WOD: Pull-up Ladder
With a continuously running clock, perform 1 pull-up the first minute, two the second, three the third, etc. until failure. You may drop off the bar and rest, but must continue and complete all pull-ups for the specific round within the minute.
Got 10 rounds = 55 pull-ups.
Very happy with this score, considering my absence. Best is 13 rounds + 9 pull-ups from 090814.....

[Nancy Cohen]

WOD:
Single leg step-ups while holding 25 lb plate straight overhead. 3 sets of 10 on each leg.

CFE rowing, 85% Tempo for 20 minutes. Total Distance = 4125 m.

oops....I mixed up 2 of the CFE workouts. I was supposed to do 20 minutes all out for distance. But for some reason, as I was rowing, I "remembered" that it was only supposed to be at 85% effort. Of course, the 85% effort part, belonged to a different workout. Oh well.
