Day 3: Military-style

You're up, Nana!

Today was my first day of the Evolution working out solo. Tyler did, however, send me a great recipe for the workout. It's a straightforward recipe that focuses on weightless moves:

Pull-ups:

Standard grip - 30 sec.

Wide grip - 30 sec.

Reverse grip - 30 sec.

Cardio:

Treadmill jog - 400 meters

Push-ups:

Strife - 10 reps

Military - 30 sec.

Wide grip - 30 sec.

I did 3 sets of this entire cycle while trying to minimize the amount of down-time between breaks (i.e., only resting long enough to gather up enough oxygenated blood flow into muscles in order to complete the move without compromising the integrity of the form). The intensity was just about right, and it also gave me a chance to work on one of my challenge areas: pull-ups. It's an area that I'm actually very motivated to improve upon... it somehow just seems like a rather practical and functional skill to have....
