Lots of great meetings meant lots of hours in traffic… I can’t think of any worse aerobic exercise than running in Beijing. It has been said that an hour of running on the streets is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes. Many locals do both… I stayed inside to hedge my bets and went again for JW’s mini globo-gym.
Warm-up
50 air squats
15 overhad squats 44#
5 headstands
5 handstand pushups
stretches
WOD “Helen”
3 rounds for time of:
– 400m run
– 21 kettlebell swings (25kg)
– 12 pullups
TIME: 11:23
I settled for dumbbells as kettlebells are not yet in the dictionary here. I’m happy with my time especially since I could barely breathe the air during the run and the swings…
