I think we need to do something a little bit different. So here's my concoction: In a "Gamblers Choice" class in equestrian showjumping (some of you know that I competed quite a bit as a junior rider) each obstacle is allotted a point value according to its difficulty, and competitors may jump all the obstacles they choose in any order/direction. The highest score amassed within a time limit wins. So I propose Gamblers Choice Crossfit:
10 burpee pullups (10 points)
10 ring dips (10 points)
10 wall balls (14#) (5 points)
Run 400 m (5 points)
10 pushups (3 points)
10 squats (3 points)
10 situps (1 point)
You can do any exercise in any order; the highest score in 20 minutes wins! The highest scorer from each class will win a T-shirt. In theory, you can pick one exercise and do that continuously for 20 minutes. You MUST complete the set in order for it to count (e.g. too bad if you're on the 9th burpee pullup at 19:59). Don't forget to yell to your instructor when you've completed an exercise.
And let me know what you think. Yesterday's lack of comments left me as sad as Eeyore.
Big-up to Aaron who let us use the track for the Matrix workout last night! Thanks!
