WOD: New Toys, New Ideas, Same Old Fun

Warmup
stretching, joint mobility, swings

Workout
6 rounds, 1 min work, 45 sec rest
-Rope Presses
-Rower
-Long Cycle (doubles)
-Single Ropes

Finished with a bunch of rounds on the single ropes, 30s work, 1 min rest

Results
That was a good workout! The rope presses sound easy, feel hard :) Get in as close as you need, hold the ropes in front of you, but keep the tension in the rope then alternate press making sure the ropes never touch the ground. Those get tough quick!

One of the new toys is a rower, so that was fun. I did the long cycle with the 16s which wasn't too bad but not real easy either, especially in the later rounds.

The other new toy is the 2" thick rope (as opposed to the 1 1/2")....those were long minutes! The finisher was on that rope too. We did rounds of all sorts of different waves - short and fast, long and high, two-arm slams, one-arm slams, side to side, fig 8s, etc....I'm gonna sleep good tonight!
