the body rewards effort


If you want results, you must work for it. There are no shortcuts, at lest not any legal ones.  Hard effort brings more results than light effort.  This is where most people say, "I thought walking burned more fat than running!"  It does but only WHILE you are doing it.  Run 1 mile - burn 120 cals; walk one mile burn 80 cals.  Which do you think will add up faster?  The body might burn less at that time but it will have to catch up later.  The payoff is more muscle, less fat and a longer life.  Any takers?

10 rounds of
10 1-arm row (hold pushup position with one arm and row with the other) 20# dumbbell EACH ARM
15 pushups
20 squats

my time: 15:20
2nd attempt (5 hours later using 25# each arm): 14:14

The transitions are tight on this one.  Your heart rate will be very high and you will probably have to rest a lot along the way.  Time yourself to complete it.  Try the workout again in a month.
