Cindy Modified

Sort of "Cindy"
5 rounds

5 ring rows
10 push-ups (incline 8)
15 squats (full)

Time: 8min 39sec

Oh my, where did my core go? I can hardly do an incline push-up and it feels like my abs are spread out all over my body. This is going to be a lot harder than I anticipated.

I skipped days 2-3 because the boy fell very ill Monday night. Besides being postpartum, the lack of sleep and constant night monitoring (not to mention anxiety) definitely contributed to this week being less than optimal. At least I didn't go into labor this time.

It's my first week back with clearance from the doctor (and specific instructions to take it slow). If today is any indicator, getting back into shape is not going to be fun.

Sit-ups/knee-ups were not comparable for Elizabeth and I, nor were squats since my belly prevents me from getting a full range of motion. However, tapping the pole on the squat rack on my way up helps me get down to a little bit below 90º so I will continue doing that.

Push-ups and ring rows were pretty comparable. I was able to do 4 more than Elizabeth, but she kicked my butt on push-ups and beat me by 21. Naturally, in the areas where we beat one another, we had to make up at the end.

This workout had me shaking at the end. Patrick timed us and wrote down our numbers, which was needed. I'm positive I wouldn't have worked as hard if he wasn't there. I knew he would just tell me to go lower or push harder, so I did it because he was watching.
