Movie Clue ” Road Runner Thrust Maneuver” CrossFit Benchmark WOD “Cindy” AMRAP 20 5 x Pull Ups 10 x Push Ups 15 x Air Squats Positive Self Talk Challenge Hey CFRT, we’ve got another challenge for you. And no, not a 30 day one like the squat challenge, which is still going on the by the way (Day 29) Just one day is all I ask this time. I want you to go one day trying to push aside negative thoughts and actions, replacing them with positive ones. When you wake up, start off with a smile and a positive thought. Say it aloud as I find this helps. Start the day off right and try to recognize any negativity that may set in. Examples can be, “I am so tired, this day is going to be hard”. Or “its so cold outside, I can’t stand the cold”. These may seem like small, harmless thoughts, but they can start a cycle of larger, more negative thoughts. So I want you to go a whole day and try to realize when you are thinking negatively and try to turn it around. This takes a lot of awareness and thought. Try not to go on auto pilot and instead stay on task. So as always please state if you are willing to try it and see how it goes.
I love this idea, and I’m definitely going to do for for one whole day but always try and incorporate it more into daily life because it is so true! Positive thoughts lead to positive actions.
It feel so good to be back in the swing of the things, the flu put me back alittle bit, but that won’t spot me. It feels great to finally be back to working out!
Positive mind,
positive vibes,
positive life!
Absolutely!
Going to do it tomorrow 😉
I have actually made a very huge effort to do this at school. It’s very easy to become negative when everyone around you is complaining and negative all the time. I realized a couple years ago how it was severely affecting me as a person and teacher and decided that I would no longer partake in it. I’ve been a happier, kinder person and a better teacher. I will, however, challenge myself to make an effort to be positive outside of school too for a whole day.
Nice Em !
I did a challenge like this many years ago except you had to write down every negative thought you had for a day. Not seeing myself as a negative person I was surprised to find the paper filled by the end of the day. Thoughts ranged from small things like ‘this idiot driver in front of me’ or ‘Im so tired’ to bigger things like ‘I hate going to this job everyday’. It’s amazing how many small thoughts you have throughout the day without even realizing. But your body hears everything your mind thinks and will respond accordingly. A positive, healthy mind = a healthy body.

So true Sarah. I think a big pitfall is starting your day off watching the morning news. So much negative there so early in the morning and you don’t even realize it. Starting the cycle of negativity.
I refuse to watch any news at anytime of the day (Meg can attest). Nothing but negativity and distraction.
Tom and jerry and Disney jr. = way more positive start to your day!
There you go!
I hate the news!!
Cindy: 15 + 7 Rx
PR’ed this by over a full round. From the start, I broke the push ups into 2 sets of 5 the entire WOD and was able to move efficiently throughout and did not get burned out. Felt like I was moving slower than I’d like early, but kept a steady pace throughout.
Great work 5 AM. Thanks for the warmup tunes PJ!
Enjoy the day.
Gaff, you crushed it! Great job pushing through. Thanks for getting us started before Cindy with belting out the Flashdance song!
Thanks, bro. Great work by you too.
My karaoke repertoire is as diverse as Phil Doherty’s shoe collection.
You think I’m good with movie quotes, I’m even better with song lyrics.
Very interesting, Gaff knowing more about songs than movies?! Is that even possible?
Cindy 12+10 with jumping pull ups.
Started off strong with 5 pushups at a time, but was struggling with 1-2 at a time at the end. Its great to start to feel and see some of the improvements and strength slowly coming back!
Thanks for pushing us this morning, PJ. Great songs and a lot of laughs.
Great work, 5AMers! have an awesome day!
Great job this morning 5am! Thank you pj!

I love this challenge. I made the decision a long time ago to completely change the way I think and it changed my life.
“Success is a state of mind. Think great and you will be great.”
Awesome job today, Monsini! Crush city, bro.
Love this Monsisni, awesome job on the metcon
Chris…You CRUSHED IT! Awesome job. Drink water and ice down.

Way to crush those push ups Rita!!!!!!
Thanks Phil! Way to crush the entire workout!
Speed side straddle hops (jumping jacks) were a killer
Haha! That was funny.
Had a great 930 session with Ms Rita. She smoked me in the warmup!
Cindy – 20+10RX
I for some reason didn’t have a previous score for Cindy but this is most definitely a PR. I went a different route this time and instead of going 100% the entire time I did I round every minute until I started to have to break up the push ups which was around the 12th round. Thanks for another great class Sarah. Next time Im getting a TURKEY!!!
Nice score Phil!!
Unreal, Phil. Great job!
Nice Phil!!
That’s like a round per nano Phil… Great job!
Unfortunately there wash;t any time for a shoe change…… they should really take that into consideration though
Thanks guys
Doing “OK” on my positively state of mind, I could’ve done better….(should)
Noon class crew went MIA!!

Push-ups slowed me down fast and then the pull-ups decided to do the same shortly after. Great workout though!
Dear “Cindy”,
I so hated you tonight and really wanted to see you get run over by a Mac truck. But with my positive thinking and telling myself how much I love you, made me get through it.
Love you forever,
Ha,awesome!!
Lots of hard work put in today from everyone. You guys crushed it today! If this was your first dance with Cindy it won’t be your last. We’ll revisit these CrossFit Benchmark WODs periodically. See everyone tomorrow!!
Cindy: 15 +1 with jumping pull-ups.
Great job everyone!
Lovin’ all the positivity ! ❤️
Positive!!!!!!!
Cindy: 13+13
Got slowed down in the last 4ish minutes when I tore both hands…oh well pull ups from the fingers it was 🙂 couldn’t let it be any type of excuse to stop..that would just be crazy!
Great job 7pm! Thanks Mike and Sarah!
Cindy-8 rounds
Started off rx then scaled my push-ups to knees. This was so brutal, started feeling pukie towards the end. I guess 3 weeks of not WODing and eating like crap will do that! But it put me in check to get myself back on a routine and no more eating like I’m a 500 pound man. Oh vacation binging…loving all the positivity! Gonna try it tomorrow too! Great work done by all tonight, glad to be back!!!
Welcome back Marie!
