Valhalla Week, Wednesday

I missed Tuesday. My excuse is that I barely had enough time to slip away for "dinner" with the family, which consisted of snuggling a bit with the daughter who had an ear infection and coloring for 10 minutes with the one who did not

On the burpees -- when you kick your feet back, yes, you do a push-up then return your feet...

Then jump as high as you can. :-) Or more realistically, touch an 8' target.

Pretty soon you'll blur the lines between kick-feet-back, push-up, return-feet... You drop from a stand and do the push-up simultaneous with feet out-and-back, then jump.

Good job on the workout, sorry you missed Tuesday. And I'm glad you're feeling it a little.

With DOMS (delayed-onset-muscle-soreness), sometimes a 2nd workout, two days later, will clearly stimulate a release of the lactic acid, so after that 2nd workout you'll suddenly be sore from the 1st workout. Eg. you do a squat or legs workout on Monday, then Wednesday you do more of an upper body workout, and 2-3 hours later your legs are sore.

Good work.

Burpees are really very hard. It is completely appropriate to work up to doing them well.
