December 2, 2011 "GI Jane"

We're back to an old favorite for our first after Thanksgiving workout!

_____________________________________
GI Jane

100 Burpee Pull-ups for time (each burpee includes a push-up and a jump to the pull-up bar)

The bar should be around 1 ft out of your reach.
_____________________________________

Click here if any questions regarding form.

If you hit a wall and need to modify here are some suggestions:

(1) Use a lower bar
(2) Sets of 5 burpees followed by 5 assisted pull-ups until you reach 100 of each.

*(3) Reduce total reps to 75.

Post modifications to comments.

As long as 100 reps are completed the fastest time completing the workout as Rx'd OR using modifications 1 or 2 will be considered the winner.

Good luck!
