Does the title of my post give away any details of our workout yesterday? We did an old main site workout from about a million years ago:
1 round for time
500m row
150 double unders
50 burpees
Can't do double unders? Don't worry! We have something much, much more fun for you to do! Grab a parallette from the loft and bring it downstairs. You were substituting lateral hops over a parallette if you couldn't string together about 10-15 double unders. All that hopping around looked like fun, but it's days like yesterday that I'm glad I can do double unders. That was my question to my 5PM'ers "Doesn't THAT make you wish you could do double unders?"
Our intention isn't to punish you, but rather think of it as extra motivation to grab that jump rope for your warm-up and practice practice practice! By the way, whatever happened to you guys doing a little self warm-up when you arrive at the Fort? More often than not, I see people skipping the row/run/jump rope part of the warm-up. GET YOUR HEART PUMPING GUYS! You're more likely to injure yourself if you haven't warmed up properly.
Mariah came in with some exciting news yesterday - She's expecting future CrossForter #2 in May! Woo Hoo! Congratulations!
Ladies, don't forget! We're kicking out the boys tonight and hosting a free ladies only class tonight at 7PM. We're calling it "Warrior Women Wednesdays", and we'll do it the first Wednesday of every month. Hope to see you all there tonight!
