Every Friday we take our students to the YMCA for PE. I am in charge of the cardio rotation so I park myself on the elliptical or stair master for the entire time! Lots of time for mobility too.

Today I did about 60min on my favorite machine, it's similar to an elliptical but you can change the length of your stride anytime. I prefer the short stride at a high intensity level. Silly video, but here's a look at what I'm up to...

WOD

For 20min, OTMEM

0:00 – hspu

1:00 – C2B pull-ups

2:00 – hspu 

3:00 – c2b pullups

and so on…….

choose a number that you feel you can stick with throughout the full 20 min. Leave yourself at least 25 sec to rest between minutes. Pull-ups don’t have to be unbroken.

CTB pull-ups 3 reps for all 10 rounds. Rounds 3 and 4 they were unbroken!! I just learned how to do overhand CTB pull-ups on Wednesday, and I couldn't link them together so I was STOKED that I linked them for two rounds! 

HSPU were a little more frustrating. Tried 1 ab mat for a couple rounds but could only do 1 rep so went back to 2 ab mats. I was doing them on the blue gym mats, Heidi suggested I do them on the floor so my hands wouldn't sink each time I kipped. That really helped. Long story short, my reps were all over the place. 1/3/1/3/4/1/3/1/3/4

After the WOD I had a friend video tape me doing my HSPU. What do you think? Any suggestions?
