There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

I’m George, George McFly. I’m your density.

In the tradition of Thanksgiving morning ‘earn that bird’ workouts, Frank and I met up at Washington Park for a tough one. Working in 5 minute density blocks today, going for max reps:

  • 5 min Burpees (75)
  • 5 min Box Jumps (67)
  • 5 min 50m Sprints (16)

Rest 2 minutes between blocks.

Knowing that it’s just you vs. the exercise for 5 minutes with nothing to break it up is physically and mentally tough. I partitioned the burpees into sets of 10 (which was probably not the best strategy) and did a 10, 9, 8, 7,…1 split for the box jumps. For the sprints, I just did as many as I could but was pretty gassed by then and none were all-out sprints.
