Here's another notorious couple of "girls" from CrossFit - Cindy and Mary. Both are a triplet of bodyweight exercises put in a 20 minute max work output format. Most of you would have experienced "Mini Cindy", same format, but done for 10 minutes.
The exercises for "Mary" would definitely be more challenging in terms of strength and skill, but that doesn't mean "Cindy" is a push-over. Both girls are extremely challenging when they are tackled at full effort and intensity.
My personal experience with Cindy is that it is completely heart and lung-busting while Mary just wipes you out with the pull ups. But then, that's just me. Whichever girl you choose, you are in for a great and intense workout.
For those of you coming in today, spend some time practicing the movements during the warm-up. Focus on the range and technique of each movement. Remember, perfect practice equals perfect movement. Once you've keyed that in mentally, you're ready for the workout. Pay attention to your form and range, especially in the later part of the workout, when fatigue sets in.
So, who's your girl?
Completed : Cindy @ 20 Rounds + 5 + 10 + 7 (Previously 15 Rounds + 5 + 7)

I never had the chance to 'do' Cindy when I came for my virgin Pushmore session and when I experienced it a couple of months back, I seriously thought I was going to die. I underestimated the workout and tried doing Chest-To-Floors but nearly died after the 8th round. This time round however I stared Cindy in the eyes and told her she wasn't gonna get my nuts again. Put on some Black Dahlia Murder and Dream Theater to help me zone out and just pace myself... which actually worked until I lost myself mentally by not focusing on the workout and instead staring around when I got tired. Heh Heh. So Cindy's down, i've now got Mary to tackle. Next time she's up.. she's gone ya hear. GONE! Yeah right.
