The Real Helen
Todays workout is "Rowing Helen". It is a modified version of the CrossFit benchmark workout "Helen": Instead of a 400m run, we will do a 250m row. Just because it will be easier than running down and up the stairs during the workout. Even though the stimulus of the workout is slightly different, the conditioning effect is similar. Another modification we did earlier this year was "Sandy Helen" on the beach with a run in the sand and burpees instead of pull ups due to lack of a pull up bar on the beach. At the CrossFit Games this year, one of the workouts was called "Hell-In": Run 1200m, 63 kettlebell swings, 36 pull ups, run 800m, 42 kettlebell swings, 24 pull ups, run 400m, 21 kettlebell swings, 12 pull ups. There are a lot of ways to modify a workout, dependig on the desired effect, available equipment, etc. As menitioned before, the original "Helen" workout is the same as we do today, only that we row 250m instead of running 400m each round.
