I have this new exercise device thingy called Fluidity (look it up if you're interested). My mom got it so I can practice ballet (exercise type A) but I've been watching the workout videos too and there are some good moves on there, one of which is a pull up done like a upside down push up. it's good but I also mourn the lack of good ol' fashioned pull bars. because yes we are still monkeys.
I went dancing last weekend for the first time (...and the first legitimate workout...) in a long time and it was amazing but I was dying! All the Lindy hop kids are hard enough to follow on slow songs, let alone these fast endurance marathons =P
...are you back in Virginia, then? What's your status? Your journal is my only window into your world!
Yay crossfit! I skipped Grace today, though last time I did it with 85 lbs. I'm very impressed with your Cindy score. :P I'm relatively good at lifts and suck at body weight stuff. By freestanding do you mean not against a wall, just balancing? Crazy!
grace tore me up :( I moved to the scaled 100# and it took 12:00. *sob*. Especially cuz i was still sore from Cindy. I am clearly the reverse: I've only practiced bodyweight stuff and usually lack the mass to do absolute things. Also, my lifting form is terrible. I accidentally did a terrible jerk or two in the middle that ended up with too much 'press'ing and they totally hosed my arms.
Yeah, that's what i mean by freestanding :) It might take two years, and i'm practicing my handstands every other day or so. i think i'm only a few months from a wall-supported HSPU. If i can pick up the Capoeira again it should help. Still a very pie-in-the-sky goal, though.

if you can do a pullup on it you're better off than i am ;) And i bet keeping a straight spine (like plank pose) while doing it is great work too :)
our inner monkeys yearn to be freeeee

If you want to try one of the slower ones, go waltzing! So much fun.
My lindy is terrible and needs lots of work, so i haven't been swing dancing cuz it seems like that's all the kids do these days. sad :(
