80 rounds of:
10 burpees
10 KB swings @ 24kg
10 alt pistols
Time: 2h43min
This workout is tougher than the 2014 burpees that I've done, probably because this workout is a triplet. The kettlebell swings took quite alot out of me surprisingly. I was expecting the pistols to be the killer but turns out that it is not. From the start I can already feel despite the low reps every round, to perform these 3 exercises in a circuit can be taxing for the cardiorespiratory system, even when I paced myself. The dreading starts when I reached 20 rounds, thinking that there are 60 more rounds to go is a very..daunting thought. I switched my mind to taking small steps, 1 round at a time. It is still rather taxing, but you just have to suck it up and get through it. I got a second win approaching the halfway mark which makes everything feel easier but it soon went away and I was struggling once again at the 55 round mark. From there on everything is suffering, especially the back from the pistols and KB swings. Never felt happier when I finally finished the workout. It always feels good to complete a challenging task! I think it is important to challenge yourself once in awhile to improve your willpower and endurance, which ultimately makes you a better person because in times of crisis, sometimes, you only can rely on yourself to get out of it and thus these training will help teach you to persevere, relying on only your self motivation to get the job done.
A great workout completed!:D
