Congrats to our Hot 103 Biggest Losers, who are still shedding the pounds. 8 weeks into the contest, Marie lost 6 pounds this week!

Workout of the Day

Jump Rope (barefoot is optional, but ideal) 8 min., mixing in variables of DU’s, Cross Overs, single foot, running.

Rest 3:00

General warm-up and some running instruction.

Run 30 seconds on, 20 seconds off for 8 rounds. 100% effort. These can be outside or inside (suicides) at coach’s discretion. Be prepared for either!

Coach-guided mobility & stretching for 25-30 minutes.

* It’s that time of year; the weather is getting warmer, that means the coaches will be sending you outside for running, so be prepare and stock your gym bag accordingly.

For those of you who missed it in yesterday’s comments, here’s a video chronicling Coach Derek’s road to over 200 consecutive double-unders. Now… if I could just get his permission to let me post the squat clean/muscle-up wod video…
