For today’s Push-up + Poetry challenge, you’ll be jumping over an obstacle of your choice. It can be low to the ground (broomstick/jo/PVC pipe/barbell) or higher (a barbell with bumper plates, a bench, a box) for burpee jump-overs. My favorite is a fearless friend lying on the ground.
To do the burpee jump-over, face the obstacle, do a burpee, stand up and jump over the obstacle, turn around, do a burpee, jump back over to your original side. That’s one.
2 burpee jump-overs
10 squats
15 mountain climbers each leg
Drive through each round as fast as possible – the smoother your movements, the faster you’ll be. Following the theme from yesterday, do them at the top of every hour. You’re shooting for 10 rounds total. If you’ve not done 10 by the end of the day, do the remainder straight through, fast and smooth.
When obstacles, barriers and borders are put into place by the powers that be to keep you down and out, prepare to jump. Our poem today is from Gloria Anzaldúa’s astounding Borderlands/La Frontera:
