Newport...
I did AOS "Newport" for the first time in a about a year this morning. It focuses more on sustained speed and strength and really gets your heart rate up. The rounds are usually between 4 and 5 minutes with 1 minute of a different ab/core exercise at the end of each round. I shortened it today completing 8 two minute rounds with 30 seconds of the ab/core work at then end. I tried to keep my rest periods in between rounds at about 30 seconds.

Day Off...
I took today off from training.
My back is feeling a bit tight and it might be a good time to change my training up a bit again. I am going to back to more traditional kettlebell training this week. The one body part per day was nice for a month but was getting a bit boring.
