WOD: Monday Monday

Warmup
stretching, joint mobility, light slingshots, swings, snatches, presses

Workout
5 rounds, 1:10 work, 30s rest
-walking lunges (forward and backward)
-ropes
-medicine ball shuttle runs
-walking swings (forward and backward)

Finished with 25 burpees

Results
This was tougher than I thought it'd be. Those lunges start to get tough around 45s, and I need some work on the walking reverse lunge - not real smooth with those. The ropes were tough too. I did doubles, alternating, side-to-side, cross-over and doubles again to finish. Most of the rounds were broken because my sweaty hands kept losing grip...but I probably needed those little breaks anyway!

I used the 20lb ball for the shuttle runs (aka throw/chase/repeat) and switched up my throws - from the chest, from the sides and backward/overhead (like a keg throw). Definitely tiring, but I like 'em!

I started with a 16 for the walking lunges and ended up using an 8kg bell. For some reason the walking swings put a little more stress on my lower back, so I just cut the weight as far as I could. I think they were still plenty effective.

The burpees were unbroken...nice way to finish the day!!
