Is Spring Finally Here?

5 Apr

One of our traditional Spring kickoff workout favorites:

“Medicine Ball Mile”
Partner race for one mile, sprint and catch with a medicine ball. This year’s route was up Mississippi Ave to the top of the hill and back.
Start of med ball mile
Tossing Med balls
Drop the ball, and both partners do 10 burpees.
Burpees!

On another note, many of you are probably used to me telling everyone to get more sleep. Here is one more reason.
