Craig works on his overhead squat.
Today's Workout:
"The Vortex"
With a continuously running stopwatch,
Run 1.5 Miles
At each minute mark, alternate between 10 jumping lunges (one rep is both left and right) and 10 push ups (so at minute 1, do 10 jumping lunges, minute 2, 10 push ups, etc)
Continue in this fashion until either you have finished 1.5 miles, or you get "Vortexed" (have no time to run after finishing your lunges or push ups)
If you finish, your time is your score. If you get Vortexed, your time at the Vortex and your distance completed is your score.
If you finish, next time you do this workout, try Vortex +1 (11 jumping lunges & 11 push ups), Vortex +2, Vortex +3 until you find the point at which you do get Vortexed.
