"When we think about physical fitness and performance today, we gernerally think of popular sports and in particular, the modern Olympics, which began in 1898. As sports fans sitting in the pub, some of us are likely to ask, Who's better? Today's modern athletes or our hunting and gathering ancestors." Frank Forencich

I Have Failed You All !!!!!

This was our new challenge:

Ladder up to 10 Swings,10 burpees in under 5 Minutes.

I didn't make it: 5:41. I will redeem myself !

I never do anything well my first time. I will get 5:00 minutes, hopefully tomorrow.

Swings are easy, should have used the 32kg. Standard for men is 24kg, women is 16kg.

Too much Blue Monster.

“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.” -Alex Karras
