*day 3*
i was back with drew tonight. another 3 round "game" but different than monday. :) the first round consisted of 1 minute jump rope, 12 burpees (modified), 12 knee lifts and 12 shoulder presses. second round: 1 min. jump rope, 9 burpees, 9 knee lifts and 9 presses. third round: 1 minute jump rope, 6 burpees, 6 knee lifts and 6 presses.

a burpee, if you don't know, is basically when you do a full push up and then jump to a squat and then jump with your hands over your head. my modified burpee was everything except the push up. knee lifts: hanging from a bar like you're going to do a pull up but instead of pulling your body up, you pull your knees up to work your abs (again, modified...the intent is to get your knees to your elbows!). presses: dumb bell presses from your shoulders straight up.

and then of course, you go for speed. i did it in under 10 minutes (the jump rope got me caught a few times).

so in looking at my times, just under 10 on monday; just under 20 for tuesday (the HARD day!) and just under 10 today....so now i have a jumping off point.
