So I wanted to share my crazy workout I did today.  It was one of those workouts that was not only physically hard but so mentally challenging that you can’t wait for it to be done.  I have always thought that I’m pretty mentally tough; I can get through a workout with minimal rest or finish a tough race or even take all five of my kids to the mall for several hours by myself (crazy stuff right there).    I got this workout from @paleo_life_crossfit_love on Instagram but changed it up a bit, it definitely pushed me mentally for sure.

100 pull-ups (every time you drop or rest, run 400 meters): ran 4 times or 1 mile           100 leg lifts (every time your feet touch the ground or you stop at top position run 400m): no running on this one, this is where my mental toughness kicked in.                                       100 push-ups (every time you stop or rest, run 400m): ran 3 times                                     300 meters walking lunges (you guessed it, every time you stop, run 400m): wowza talk about legs on fire!  I ended up only running once on this one, I counted 245 reps total.

Anywho, you could pretty much do this with any circuit workout, where you run or have to do a penalty for stopping.  This took me around 40 minutes with a 6 minute rope jumping warm up.  I’m definitely going to repeat this one again to see if I improve especially after I get my butterfly pull ups (it’s a struggle for some reason).
