Max Effort

Warm-up
A bit different with a timed station warm-up.  Two minutes each station for two rounds of pass through (shoulder stretch), sit-ups, jump rope (singles), short box jump. 
Work Out
Max Effort
Complete as many reps as possible without stopping of pull-ups, squats, & push-ups.  Count total number of reps for all three items in a single count.  Rest two minutes after a full set.  Do three sets.
Set One: 180
Set Two: 120
Set Three: 128
Squats were the in the majority with 20-15 of each pull-ups and push-ups on each set.
Although not counted for time, I went for about 20 minutes
Cal: 362

Max HR: 172

New Jump Rope

I bought a new rope from Rouge Fitness.  It is one of the cable speed ropes so I added it today for the workout.

Outside it was low 30's, but no wind so it was pretty nice with all the exercise.

Five rounds of

50 Double Unders
30 Kettlebell Swings (35#)
20 Walking Lunges
10 Push-ups

Time35:49
Cal: 514
Avg HR: 154
High HR: 168

The double unders are a killer as always.  Didn't get a great streak this time.  Best was 6 or so.  Lots of 1/2/3's per set.  Need more practice.

Heart Rate

Hey,

I purchased a Polar FT7 heart rate monitor to see how it would work out with my workouts.  Pretty nifty little gadget.

Workout was rounds of 50,40,30,20,10 of

Squats
Push-ups
Sit-ups

Time: 21:17

Cal Burn 249
Avg HR: 129
Max HR: 153
Even calculates the Fatburn vs. Fitness times too.

The only drawback is the strap.  It will take time to get use to wearing it.  I'll most likely post out new stats as I get time to add them in.
