It’s time to get dirty.
I may look sweet and innocent, but don’t let that fool you — I can create a wicked tough workout.
I did this workout Sunday (in approximately 20 minutes). It wasn’t actually all that brutal in the moment — heavy, but not huff and puff until your lungs burst status.
Then there was Monday. My inner thighs were screaming sore… hurts-to-squat-on-the-toilet sore; yes, you know what I am talking about.
Don’t let that frighten you though; soreness = smiling muscles.
I hope you enjoy this CrossFit-inspired workout… and don’t be afraid to get a little dirt on your hands.
