1/20/10; 12 minutes of fun...sorta

With a continuously running clock, squat for 60 seconds. Subtract the number of squats completed from 60, and do that many pull-ups in minute two. In minute three, squat again, subtracting the number completed from 60. Do that number of push-ups in minute four. Minute five is squatting again, and minute six pull-ups.

The pattern is squats, pull-ups, squats, push-ups, squats, pull-ups, etc. The goal is to stay within the workout's formula for as long as possible. Don't do more than 60 squats in any round. In any case, stay moving for at least 12 minutes.

i.e.

1- 60 - #squats = minute 2 pull ups

2- pull ups

3- 60 - #squats = minute 4 push ups

4- push ups

5- 60 - #squats = minute 6 pull ups…

As I write this, my legs are throbbing and I’m certain that I can’t get out of my chair if I willed it with the power of the force…No luck.

Here’s my numbers-59/1; 58/2; 54/6; 50/10; 52/8; 49/11
Total number of squats- 322
Total number of pull ups- 15
Total number of push ups- 23

As it happens, to complete the WOD properly, your repetitions should add up to 360.

This WOD is fun. I like the WODs where you’re continually moving. This one is another easy WOD to do anywhere you can find something to hang off of and do some pull ups. The total workout from start to finish with two people doing this was less than 30 minutes. I was able to start the workout at 0817, and be back in my office, changed and ready to work by 0850. Awesome.

3-2-1…GO!
