    I was having some of my coaches over to workout with me at my house this morning, and was trying to come up with something I thought we could all get through.  I had CRUSHED my Chest and Back the day before, and my coaches had done Plyo Legs three days prior and still had some soreness, so this is what I came up with.  Each move, unless otherwise specified, is 1 minute in duration.  You get a 90 second break after the 10th move.

    With the warmup and cooldown, this one ended at 59:14.  I burned 831 calories, with a Max HR of 180, and an average HR of 147.  (I’ll be heading out to mop up the gym floor of all the sweat as soon as I post this…haha).  As always, give it a shot and let me know what you think!
