Great Tuesday workout – did you notice how we’re learning how to do this amazing murmuration thing, where an entire flock of birds veer in a microsecond, seemingly communicating through telepathy? Flying at 40 mph, the flock makes sharp dips and turns, in unison and by some kind of magic. We weren’t quite at 40 mph, but it’s no small thing to flow together through a 4 by 6 grid of high intensity movements.
Continuing our Jump + Pull + Climb fun, you’ll need a sturdy desk, table or counter that you can climb on top of. The challenge for Wednesday is 7 squats, climb on top of the desk/table/counter, climb down, 3 transcendent burpees. That’s 1. Do 10. (For notes on transcendent burpees, check the Feb. 1 post.). The leaping up upon the desk/table/counter should be done with great panache, like some sort of fabulous wild animal. A panther, a stag, a glittering unicorn.
You have all day to do them, but think about where you’ll have access to a good table or counter. If you have to clear your desk to do this, all the better.
Leap away, dear queer panthers and stags! Let us know when you’re done, and what manner of furniture you leapt upon.

Close the door and go pantless, of course. Post THAT to FB.

Done! My honey bu love would NOT by any means allow me on our kitchen table (quickly became “my” kitchen table, as in hers only, lol) so I had to become satisfied with the side arm of the couch to climb up to.

Done! Climbed on the kitchen table until I got caught. Oops. Apparently I’m not supposed to step with my feet where everybody eats? Fine, I took it to the park and climbed all up on somebody else’s picnic table!! Unicorns can’t be stopped!

Done. I have to say the leaping onto something was really challenging. I couldn’t find anything safe – I climbed up on the dining room chair.
