Virtual Shoveling

Warm up:
3 x 15 sit ups
3 x 15 push ups (think I accidentally did 10 on my first round)
3 x 15 overhead squats with PVC

Workout:
For time 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, and 5 rep rounds of:

Virtual shoveling (55#....next time I'm doing the prescribed. Not sure why David didn't start me out on that. He's right, though, it would have slowed my time, but I could have done it.)

Pull-ups (David had me open with kippings before I started and after I finished he had me do 5 more. My jumping pull-ups are all resistance using very little actual jumping, and whole lot of pulling, and no falling but slowly easing down. These are tough.)

With an Olympic bar holding only one plate (men use 45 pound plate, women use 25 pound plate), touch the plate on one side of the barrier then the other for one "rep." Barrier is 24."

Shoveling was very easy and went quickly. Pull-ups were the bear.

Time: 16:11

Kind of a fun workout only because it's not brutal and I could have gone again after a rest.
