A post about the crossfit workout ‘Helen’

Well like I have said the last few weeks I am going to do all the foundation women of Crossfit.

This weekk I had a go at the Crossfit workout ‘Helen’.

I had previously attempted this session. It involves the following:

400m run

21 x 24kg D/B Swings (I actually used 26kg)

12 x pull ups

x three rounds for time

Time: 9.40 (previous best was 11.54 with jumping pull ups)

It has been five months since I last did the Crossfit workout ‘Helen’ and I think that 2.14 with proper pull ups is a huge improvement??

Still have quite a bit of work to do yet. The fatest recorded time I can find for the Crossfit workout ‘Helen” is 6.51, but this may be wrong?? This time is what is on the Crossfit site as the fastest time though??

I also did a conditioning session which was great fun:

run 400m

row 500m

x 5 rounds for time

Time: 20.01

If you are looking for a cardiovascular based Crossfit training session then this is a great one to do. Overall found it very taxing but was a great session.
