Ok – I don’t really read ahead. I might copy and paste a workout in here so I have it ready to add notes to the next day after the workout, but I don’t really read them. However, someone mentioned this one to me so I decided I should actually read it. What??? Why did I do that?? Bet there are only 6 people max at this workout!
I think the quote for today is quite fitting…somehow I will seek and find peace with these burpees 🙂
Ok – so there were about 9 people there this morning. Way more than I thought would show up 🙂
“Peace comes from within, seek it there.”
The workout time is very long. Ensure the warm-up is quick and transitions are relatively fast to have a chance to finish the class on time. The skill work will be sacrificed a bit and there will not be much detail given on some of the movements.

Notes This is a longer duration chipper style workout with a mix of skills, drills, modalities, and loads. Faster times will be around 30:00. Encourage everyone to be done in less than 40:00.
Ok – at the end of the 40 minutes I had done everything and was on the burpees and had done 40. Much better than I thought I would do. I was sure the time would be up by the time I got to the burpees. Since the time was out when I got to them I decided I should do at least 10. Well, did those and decided I should probably keep going until the time is truly out. I was happy with myself for doing 40 as I really didn’t think I would be able to do that many.
Very tough workout today.
