Conditioning

20 x squats
20 x burpee box jumps @ 24"
20 x push-ups
15 x burpee box jumps
20 x tuck jumps
10 x burpee box jumps
20 x jump lunges per leg
5 x burpee box jumps
20 x squats

Time = 14:12 [PR = 15:33, December 13, 2010]

======

For time:
Cycle 1 mile @ 8 resistance
50 x box jumps @ 24"
Cycle 1 mile @ 8 resistance

Time = 12:39 [PR = 12:16, January 6, 2011]

I tried a different strategy this time, which didn't pay off. For the first cycle I went flat out this time, whereas before I'd paced myself a bit more. When it came to the box jumps today I had to take three or four rest breaks - last time I only took one - not because my legs were exhausted, but because I was so out of breath. I tried but couldn't make up the time with the second cycle.

The last time I did this it was preceded by a less challenging routine, but I don't think that would account for the different scores. I rested for three minutes before I started the first cycle, which should have been enough time for me to recover.

======

50 x squats
50 x push-ups
50 x pull-ups
50 x sit-ups

Time = 17:30

Nothing to compare this to, although I was aiming for a sub-20. As expected, the pull-ups were the most challenging. I opted for neutral grip because I did so many pull-ups and chin-ups yesterday.

Part 3 is half of Angie, the workout you had me do years ago, didn't you do that once on your own? The only difference is the order.

I didn't think of that. I did a much longer version of this last month: http://59percentoverweight.blogspot.com/2010/12/conditioning_15.html. It took me nearly 52 minutes, so I had planned to do just the 25 reps section, but that looked too short.
