Weather Forecast for today is… BLIZZARD!!

                                      

There will be no classes today because of the forecasted Blizzard heading in our direction and will stay with us for a major part of the day. In any case though, you can still workout at home. The following is a suggested ROD for those who are staying indoors for the blizzard.

As Many Rounds As Possible  (AMRAP) in a 20 min time limit.

•   8 Renegade Rows with dumbbells (one rgt/one left is a rep) 
• 16 Pushups
• 32 Air Squats

Or you can go tabata style and go for 8 rounds per movement at a rate of 20/10 – 30/15 – 40/20 or 60/30, work / rest ratio’s. Either way it is a challenge for you on this snowy day.
