Warm-up -

5 min run @ 70% of max capacity

Workout -

Complete 3 sets of each:

15 toes to bar leg raises
3 minute sit squats (hip mobility stretch)
10 Turkish KB get-ups  (R+L=1) 25/35

Post longest strings of consecutive reps and minutes (of holds) to comments.

---------------------------------

If you have a kettlebell, use it for the TGUs today.  Using a KB forces the intricate musculature of shoulder joint to stabilize the imbalanced nature of this movement.  If you are entirely unfamiliar with KBs err on the side of too light.  

---------------------------------

Doing 3 minutes of sit squat mobility stretches is a VERY long time to sit in that position.  Most of us will have to use several break sets per attempt.  Only time spent in perfect position should be counted toward accumulating your 3 min.  Form is key for increasing hip mobility and flexibility.  The better form you use the better your squats will become.  

--------------------------------

Loud music, piles of sweat, bloody shins and the pitter patter of little hands.  Love GPP!
