Accessory Work
5 rounds of:
Max Double Unders in one minute, Rest one minute

Thanks to everyone who came out to yesterday's Rock Climbing field trip.  What a great time!

Don't forget about today's free Nutrition talk at 1pm. Bring Questions!

Tabata Interval 8 Rounds of the following 4 movements:
Wall Ball
Sit-Ups
Burpees
Box Jumps

In order to increase work output per interval, there will be a one minute rest between rotations. Go for max reps, no gaming.
In continuing with this week's theme, any movement may be substituted for Double Unders …except Burpees.  Only hit the rope if you've got pretty consistent doubles. 

Post total repetitions completed per movement to comments.
