Workout Notes: 

  1. Masters: Plow the “Half Heartcha” then 2 rounds of 15 reps of the “Puffs & Pushes.”

  2. You might need your own timer today. The main gym clock will be set to go off every min on the min. Problem is, everyone will be getting finished with the "Half Heartcha" warm-up at different times. The trainer will be happy to reset the clock to time the workout after everyone is done with the warm-up. Thing is, if the time starts to run into the next class, the trainer will need to reset the clock to every min on the min again.

  3. It is extremely important that you be careful to stay in neutral spine position today throughout this movement.

  4. Today's workout (like many GPP workouts) is a "Soul Crusher." When we do these types of workouts it is tempting to just push your body to it's outer limits. This is FINE and there can be much benefit in doing this - AS LONG AS YOU STAY SAFE!

  5. I know you’ll be tempted to back down the hill. That would be a ROUGH way to start your week. That on top of burpees will be a challenge. If you are feeling froggy …
