WOW and WOW!!!! This workout was even worse than I thought it would be. I went with 50 lbs. Good call, found it really tough. I couldn't make it through round 9. And then I was so worn out, I couldn't even do the next 2 rounds which brought me to 2. With the rest, I was able to do 2 from rounds 11-20. I hate burpees more than life itself, so I decided to try DU's for the first time ever. I looked super silly at first (I even caught Aaron giggle a bit). As the rounds went by, I started to get it. I would do a single and then a double. Stop. I got 16 double unders. YEAH! Now, I have to work on stringing them together. The first plank I made it the whole hour, but I needed to take breaks the next 2. And I started with the shoulder press challenge. I did L1, which was supposed to be 20. Seemed ridiculous so I did 25 x 10 reps. Easy.
