Kristin was the lone ranger tonight, so after warming up, we spent some time working on pull-ups. Her goal is to be able to do unassisted pull-ups, and we’re going to get her there. When that skill work was done, it was onto the Workout of the Day!
Most of the time the workouts we do are original, however, I love finding great workouts from other affiliates from time to time and throwing in a Main-Site Classic every once and a while is key! Tonight I wanted Kristin to work on her ever-improving double-unders, so her workout was a slightly modified “Annie“. The prescribed “Annie” is 50-40-30-20-10 of Double-Unders and Sit-Ups. That means you do 50 Double-Unders (jump rope where the rope passes under your feet twice per jump) and then 50 sit-ups. After that, 40 Doubles and 40 sit-ups, and so on.
The only modification I made was to eliminate the round of 50. 150 Double-Unders is a lot, so making sure that Kristin only counted her successful doubles as jumps was more important than her doing a full 150.
Either way, look for yourself, and tell if you think she’s getting better at them. Amazing job, Kristin!
