My knees weren't up to lunges today so I did 30/30 intervals instead.

*JumpRope..30/30 for 5 minutes.
*Half Squats...30/30 for 5 minutes. I did a total of 66.
*Jumping Jacks..30/30 for 5 minutes. I did a total of 175.
*WallSquats...you know, sitting in a squat supported by a wall. I wanted to do 5 sets of these but only managed 2 before my legs had enough.

11 rounds of:
5x 33" Hurdle Jumps
20x Full Squats

Totals: 55 Hurdle Jumps, 220 BW Squats

(I hit the bar and knocked it down on rep #54. I reset the bar, redid rep #54, and completed rep #55. I'm a little surprised I didn't hit the bar until the very end.)

Troy did the workout with me this afternoon. He did ten rounds of:
5x Short Jumps
10x Half Squats

(Troy started the workout by doing box jumps onto the side of a 10" high tractor trailer tire. He later switched to jumping over a low bar ~3 inches due to some soreness.)

After today's blog workout, we completed our conditioning by doing 20 minutes of:

5x30/30 Pound Tire w/ Sledge (vertical)
5x30/30 Bear Crawl
5x30/30 Pound Tire w/ Sledge (horizontal)
5x30/30 Crab Crawl
