What's a Chipper?

3/6/10

TEAM WOD!

in teams of 2 complete:

800m run
80 Deadlifts #80/60
30 burpees
80 Kettlebell Swings #40/25
20 burpees
80 squat hops
10 Burpees
*except on the run, only 1 person can work at a time (the other gets to rest)

Today the group will be introduced to a "Chipper" workout. A chipper is a string of different exercises done one after, once through for time. It is named Chipper because, afterwards you feel like you have been through a wood chipper.

3/4/10 (5K) Results:

Great job everyone on their runs yesterday! For some that was your first time running 2 miles or more. As many of you know we do not run much past 400m on a regular basis, so it was definitely a day out of everyone's comfort zone. We are very proud of everyone!
