burpees great !

frik, I have another follower ! martin henry, i follow martin and dan + several others blogs each morning. Martin and Dan both train in the states and work unbelievably hard. I keep planning to add swimming and biking back into my training and these two really set the benchmark.

last nights workout was:

100621

Five rounds for time of:
45 pound barbell Overhead walking lunges, 50 feet
21 Burpees

it was a bit of a challenge finding somewhere in the gym to do the lunges, the only open area was full of women doing a spin class, so i completed them upstairs in amongst the steroid abusers who were not inclined to move for me. Not my best workout i have been really trying to increase the intensity and get the times down but these two movements really highlight my lack of flexibility and lack of fitness.

The burpees were truly shocking and i was pressed for time. Called it a day after 3 rounds at 15mins 24 secs. It might have been quicker if i could get a straight run at the lunges, walking and turning was a pain and ducking under the low ceilings. Burpees are the main problem though, have decided to add them into the warm up which is currently:

3 X - 12 reps of - squat, pressup, pullup, ohs, dip, ghd situp - will add burpees between dip and situps.

am off on two week holiday to greece, so am planning lots of bodyweight workouts plus running and swimming for next two weeks. should be great.
