Since my last post on Thursday I rested on Friday so that I could do 5 straight hours of snowboarding on Saturday. “Rested” again on Sunday but really travelling with a less than 2 year old in NYC is not really resting due to all of the carrying, chasing, etc. Parents reading this blog will understand.
I also watched a Critical Bench video and it reminded me of my burpees and how I have not been doing them with the exception of 10 in my warm ups. Today I opted for Burpees as my “finisher” to the workout to stretch the total time to one hour. Usually I will do Core Tabata. I did normal burpees and not the dead lift combo but I have done Burpees with weights but I hold them through the entire exercise and jump with them.
Chest/Back Routine - 1st set is ½ weight and double reps to warm up and focus on form. Then 5 sets with 5 reps each at max weight.
