20 Double Unders

25:27

Workout comments: Half moons consist of picking up a med ball from the ground on your left side, raising it over head, and bringing it down to the ground on your right side. Repeat in opposite direction. That's two reps. It was extremely hot in the fitness center today. Both sets of double unders went unbroken, which is surprising considering I had a strange rope and different shoes on. The push presses and squat thrust/mountain climbers were the toughest: the former due to strength and the latter due to cardio. Was not expecting it to take this long.

The weather is continue to roll in at 100+ degrees and looking to continue that way without any break. I don't think I will even attempt any runs outside in the next few days.

16, 16, 9, 9, 6

Finished things up with Tabatta situps: 12

Workout comments: I always treat these kinds of workouts on the Tabatta scoring system, because there is really no way to keep track of all the reps during each round. Had no energy today. Little sleep and no breakfast probably are to blame for that. I don't think I have ever had the sensation of honestly wanting to walk out of a workout because I was doing so badly. I probably should have, because I took a spill during the third round of box jumps. Could have been worse, but it was still throbbing pretty bad for the rest of the workout.
