Death by Burpees

WOD
Death by burpees
With a continuously running clock, do one burpee the first min, two the second, so on and so forth.

18 + 16 in the 19th minute

Did this on August 17, did 18+15 in the 19th minute. I almost got the 17th tonight.

Skills

  2. Hey, this is Heather :)

    Thought you might want a few suggestions on learning back-walkovers. They are not hard to do, but difficult to do correctly. The progression I would suggest is making sure you have a good bridge first, then work on kicking over from the bridge. After that working on bending back into the bridge would be good, then its a matter of putting it all together.

    As single components they are decently easy to learn, but doing it right means bending over into a bridge while standing on one leg so you don't have to stop in the middle, which can be a little challenging.

    If you have access to it, we learned them in Gymnastics with essentially a giant foam roller (like 3 or so feet in diameter)

    Good luck :D

  3. Thanks, I was just working the kick overs the other day and was planning on a progression almost exactly like what you describe but it's good to have confirmation from someone who knows their shit. My sister (who did some cheer leading/tumbling) also recommended a giant "cheese wheel" shaped mat but I don't foresee myself finding one of them lying on the side of the road anytime soon so I'll have to make do.
