First things first...let's get our sweat on! Yesterday morning I was in not a mood required for runnin' so I needed to mix things up. After the epic spring months filled with FOUR half marathons in 8 teeny weeks, things are feeling tight and tender. And so was born the sweat-through-everything Jump Rope Circuit!
Strength moves are performed as supersets. 2 strength moves, 10 reps and 2 sets of each make up a superset, and we jump rope for 1 minute before the next superset. So, for example in super set #1, you would knock out 10 shoulder raises, 10 chest presses, 10 shoulder raises, and finally 10 chest presses. Then jump rope for one minute and move onto superset #2. Easy peasy, right? Lets get a move on then!

This circuit took me about 45 minutes with some fartin' around between sets (such as to take a sweaty picture). I rested about 15 seconds before and after each jump rope but tried my best to smoothly transition between strength moves.
HOPEFULLY SOON I'LL BE ABLE TO TALK THE HUSBAND INTO TAKE PHOTOS FOR EXAMPLES OF EACH MOVE...then I'll spend the next 10 days explaining to him that I am not a lunatic!
