Life is hard. Choose your hard. Marriage? Hard. Divorce? Hard. Fitness? Hard. Obesity? Hard. Debt? Hard. Discipline? Also hard. You can’t avoid hard, but you can choose your hard. Choose wisely.

I hope the workout is the hardest thing you do today. Maybe, maybe not. But when you train hard, you’re more prepared for the hard things life throws at you. You’re building strength and resiliency now to access later. Keep pushing.

Aye!

Leave a comment

45 minutes of music.

2. Voodoo Child- calf raises until “mountain then 3 jump squats.
3. That Energy- BBS until “that energy “ then 8 flutter kicks
4. Eye of the Tiger- Squat Punch until “Tiger” then run a lap
5. Why do we fall- Burpees the entire song
6. Kingdom- Hammers until “Kingdom” 10 toe touches
7. Phenomenal- 1st verse plank then HR Merkins on None. 2nd verse wall sit then squats 3rd verse Superman/banana.
8. Like a prayer- squats until prayer.. then 5 knee-tar-jas
9. Diamond Eyes- shoulder taps them 25 LBCS on “boom”
10. Danger Zone- run until “danger zone” then 3 burpees
11. Everyday I’m hustling- lunge walk until hustlin then do high knees
12. Thinking about me- Imperal walkers until Thinking then Catalina wine mixers.

Ended right at 6:00

It was fast but fun.

Thanks to all who endulged my stupidity.

Once the second partner gets to the top, he begins to complete exercises while partner 1 heads back down to start empty handed. Then partner 1 calls for partner 2 to move, and he begins to exercise until he gets to remaining gear. Repeat.
Bottom exercises: goblet squat w/bell or block, calf raises w/gear
Top exercises: 2-hand upright row w/gear, calf raises w/gear
