Annie
A descending double-under and sit-up ladder (50-40-30-20-10) — the jump-rope analog to Fran's barbell-and-gymnastics couplet, testing coordination as much as conditioning.
Movements in this workout
Scaling
Scaled
Half the double-unders (25-20-15-10-5) with full sit-ups, or 2x singles. If you're 'almost' at double-unders, this is the workout to attempt them in.
Beginner
Single-unders at the written scheme, or 30-20-10. Sit-ups unmodified. A perfect first benchmark: low load, low skill floor, obvious progress marker.
The story
The gentlest-looking Girl: double-unders and sit-ups, 50-40-30-20-10. For athletes with double-unders it's a sprint and a welcome deload; for athletes without them it's the workout that finally forces the skill. A favorite re-test for tracking double-under progress. Part of CrossFit's original 'Girls' benchmark series — named workouts introduced by founder Greg Glassman starting in 2003, on the logic that anything that leaves you flat on your back deserves a name like a storm. They serve as repeatable fitness tests: revisit one every few months and the clock tells you whether you're fitter. First posted to CrossFit.com on 2005-04-16.
