7 rounds of the following:
10 Regular PU
20 Abs
10 Wide PU
20 Abs
10 Narrow PU
20 Abs

I varied the Abdominal exercises (Crunches, Leg Levers, Reverse Crunches, Left/Right Crunches, Bicyles). The timer went off at the halfway mark of my last set of crunches.

Total: 210-PU, 410 Abs
Disappointing, but still a decent workout. I did yesterday's routine late, missed supper, and went to bed late, so I still felt a bit tired and run-down today.
