I just wanna start with how embarrassing my split hurdles jumps are lol!  You are welcome for the video evidence.  And that was after multiple tries of not jumping like a 5000# rhino who wants to be a ballerina.  Is what is is.

Back to the beginning.  Work was crazy the two days before this and I definitely felt a cortisol hangover the morning of this workout.  I tried to just go at an intensity that kept me calm.  Workout was perfect for that.  I didn’t push making the holds super heavy in the emom as what I did choose felt challenging enough.  All is well!  Thanks!

Body feeling a bit sore and ready for a rest day.  I’m at work the next two days so decided to get this one in despite a bit of soreness.  Felt great!  3 sets were challenging but not terrible.  Zero adductor issues.  Love the hip airplanes.  Been forever since I’ve done those and they were a great stretch for my glutes.  Thanks!
