CONDITIONING PIECES

“Bookie”

“Grace”

NOTES

We enter week two of this block of programming with some new benchmark workouts, as well as a classic piece “Grace” on Friday. Keep in mind that you’ll see most of these pieces again in 16 weeks. Monday’s conditioning piece called “Bookie” is a tough one, make sure you scale the loading or movement pattern if needed.
