Don’t start too fast, don’t start too slow. Make sure you are warmed up well. STRETCH! Get your shoulders, back, legs and head ready for 20 minutes of non-stop work. Cindy is a popular benchmark and you will see here again.

Get those push-ups low to the ground. I like to touch the underside of my chin to the floor, this mean my head is up and I am low to the ground. You could also judge the push-up as touching your chest to the ground. When I say touch your chest to the ground I both know how much harder that is than partial ROM and mean chest touches floor. Colleen does a good job of that.

Burpee Challenge Day 44

 
Cindy is just one of the great benchmark workouts we perform featuring the triplet of pull-ups, push-ups and squats. What could be more functional than pulling, pushing and standing back up? Everyone should have a couple entries in their journal from past encounters with this fine lady. Today is a great day for a PR. Go for it!
