Fierce Friday Workouts

No Comment

Before we get into Friday’s workout, we wanted to pass along some information about this weekend’s Red Bull Flugtag.  Aaron and group of four other friends decided to enter this weekend’s Flugtag.  They built an awesome 15 foot flying Phillies baseball cap to participate in the event.  They need your vote to help them win.

To vote for Aaron’s team simply text TEAM28 to 72855.  There is no cost to do this, It’s just like sending a regular text message.  You may vote for my team up to 15 times, so please, stuff that ballot box!  Voting is open tomorrow at 11am and will continue through Saturday until 3:30pm.

You can check out the details here:

Today’s workout is a good active recovery day workout.  Nothing too vigorous, just enough to elevate the heart rate and get the body moving.

Work at each station for 45 seconds, take 15 seconds to transition between exercises.  Complete a total of 5 rounds. Take no additional rest between rounds.

Enjoy!

  • Agility Ladder Drills
