Thursday night chipper

A "chipper" workout is one that does not involve circuits, it is simply a group of exercises done straight through. It can be done with nearly any group. The key is, you want to have a serious amount of reps per exercise to make this hurt in just the right way. This time I wanted to put running between each set just because I seem to like pain. This is what we did:

50 pushups
run 300m (this is a lap around my block)
50 mountain climbers (count same leg not each leg)
run 300m
50 imbalanced dead lift (hold 40# dumbbell on one side for 25 reps, then switch sides for the next 25)
run 300m
50 explosive situps (you can substitute crunches here, this is basically a fast situp that doesn't come all the way up)
run 300m
50 lunges (count total steps, hold 25# plate)
run 300m
50 1-leg dead back extension (take the back extensions you normally see me do, but do them with 1 leg holding a 40# dumbbell)

I had the best time at 21:20. Ryan - 22:28, Evan 25:09, Alex 25:30 (did sets of 30), LT - 24:40 (also did sets of 30)
