Treating today as kind of a recovery day but blasted a quick cardio session out with Lee Lyles, a games athlete from FRCF that now lives a few miles away.  Looking forward to working out with him again.  We decided to do an OPT challenge I had several months ago.  I did it with my 12 year old boy at the time and got about 330-340 calories if I recall.  I'm hitting this one again and it's gonna hurt.

365FY+ on Airdyne:  Each of you sprint 30 seconds for 10 minutes and try to acquire 365+ calories.

Total: 379 calories

Post WOD:  I should have warmed up for this one.  Lee was all fired up to jump in cold but I assure you he or I won't be making that same mistake again.  It's a smoker but we hit our mark!

Skill

12 Minutes Chest Facing Wall Handstand & Shoulder Touch Practice.

Done

Notes: The goal is to get into and maintain the handstand with exclusively the nose and feet in contact with the wall. If you can get into and maintain the handstand within these parameters begin to try to some shoulder touches. Do not let your hands or nose drift away from the wall while performing shoulder touches. It is imperative that a hollow body position be maintained for this drill. Obviously, do not allow the desire to keep your nose on the wall end in injury—it’s not that serious.
