Surprise! A Thursday workout. The gym isn’t open so no more free open days. Ha! This one will be a lot of fun. Of course you can keep up to the pattern and do your own thing today, but its much more interesting with the virtual team.

By now, we all are doing these from home with limited or no equipment. Lets walk through ways to modify this one starting with the medball squat cleans. If you do not have a ball, you can use dumbbells or any odd object that you can find to squat clean.  Young kids work really well too :).

This workout is intended to be under 20 minutes but don’t worry if you are a little over. You should be looking to only have 3-4 breaks on the 50 reps. Scale the push-ups like you normally do. Find anything moderately heavy that you can farmer carry with minimal breaks. I know you all have suitcases. Have fun!
