Hit the ground Running!

Like I've said before, fitness is residual and aggregate. Body builders need to worry about their "shape". We don't need to too much since not THAT much is going to change after a single weekend of binge eating in the bigger course of things. It's all about the big picture. Therefore, I will be imposing a strict 50 burpee penalty for anyone who utters the words "back in shape". We don't work for "shapes"; we work hard for performance. Shapes and aesthetics are a CONSEQUENCE of performance. What better way to improve your performance, and consequently, your shape than with a swift 50 burpees? I suggest you all spread the word, and I also suggest not testing me on this one, as I have remorselessly thrown burpees at very minor things before, as many of you can attest.

Aside from that, here's a couple more performance-boosting, sweat-producing, vomit-inducing, always fun, never boring workouts.

1. For Time:
50-40-30-20-10
-Double-unders/ Jumping Jacks/ 4x jump rope
-Sit ups

2. For Time:
Run 100m, 20 Burpees
Run 200m, 15 Burpees
Run 300m, 10 Burpees
Run 400m, 5 Burpees

Recover: Hang/Swing on Pullup Bar for 5 min. Stretch your shoulders and chest.


Remember to warm up well. Don't skimp on that.

Here's a couple more good reads about PERFORMANCE-NUTRITION (remember about aesthetics being consequential?):
