Weekly Breakdown 1/24/22

Let’s not wait for the perfect time. Let’s instead just create it. “Just Start.” We’ve used this approach in most aspects of life. As we transition from one event big or small, let’s just start. If we can remove that moment of hesitation, we quickly find those first reps are always there, and more. We surprise ourselves with a set of 15reps, when we would have bet we would have failed our first. We can either await the picture perfect moment, or we can get outside and create it.

Coach Jenna’s Workout Of The Week:
6 Rounds with a partner (1 round on, 1 round off)
21 calories on a machine of your choice (Rower/Bike/Ski Erg)
15 burpee box jump overs
9 deadlifts (315/220 pounds or 143/100kg)
Some advice from Jenna: “Push the machine but don’t redline. Stay controlled on burpees and pick a deadlift weight that’s moderate and should be done unbroken.”
