Week of April 11th

Hello everybody, I hope you had a great weekend! As promised, this week's work outs are a little more exciting and a little more intense than last week. This week I'm introducing the "burpee", please watch a video on how they are done. (link below) I'll be honest, they really suck at first, but they are an excellent all around conditioning move....enjoy!

Do each work out once, for example on M, W and Friday.


Workout #1
5 rounds for time of:
10 squats
10 push ups
10 jump rope

(in case its not obvious, 5 rounds for time means you do 10 squats, 10 push ups 10 jump ropes and repeat that 5 times. Go as quickly as you can while maintaining form and time yourself. I am thinking workout will take anywhere from 4 to 8 minutes and your done!

Workout #2 (for time do the following "chipper")
20 jump rope (JR)
20 squats
20 JR
10 burpees (see video link below)
20 JR
10 pushups
20 JR
10 burpees
20 JR
20 squats
20 JR

Workout #3
3 rounds for time of:
50 squats
25 situps
15 push ups
