I have been pushing cardio on the ladies pretty hard recently and last night was no exception.  Their workout was AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
- 10 Jump Squats
- 20 Medicine Ball Slams
- 30 Bicycles (each side)
- 40 Jumping Jacks (holding 5lb plates)

They all worked hard and tallied up ten rounds completed, with 45 seconds to spare!

The men did a basic strength workout for the sake of volume.  They broke up their sets however they needed to in order to hit a total number of reps at the end of the workout.  They did:
- 50 total Pullups
- 100 total Pushups
- 150 total Air Squats

THE BURPEE MILE ON THURSDAY WILL START AT 8:30 PM, DUE TO A SOCCER GAME AT THE STADIUM.

10/31/11 Morning Session

Since today is Halloween and I’m a festive guy, I typically dream up workouts that in some way incorporable the date or theme of the holiday.  Halloween is on 10/31.  So, I put together a workout that is 1,031 seconds (17 minutes 11 seconds) long where you shoot for as many rounds as possible.  I just got blank stares in return when I explained my rationale for the creation of this year’s Halloween workout.  Either they didn’t understand or it was just too cold and too early in the morning to care.

Men: AMRAP 17:11 of

5  Squat and Press

6  Sandbag Shoulders

7  Burpees

Women: AMRAP 17:11 of

5  Pullups

6  Squat and Press

7  Burpees

We all finished the morning with a high intensity 10 minute interval session, for good measure.

The Reaction of the Week came from an unlikely source this morning.  I honestly felt bad when I saw Melissa bow her head in the rest of our intervals then quietly and painfully mumble, “I deserve this…”.   It was a shocking glimpse into the souls of females.

Also, I want to wish a speedy recovery to those of you who crushed the Atlanta Marathon yesterday!
