Have been doing a lot of hiking and biking this week so not a lot of formal workouts. Today: 20 min of 30 sec med hard assault bike, 30 sec easy— had planned on doing 30 minutes, dead at 17 so 20 was all I could do today
Work on Front squats, low amount of reps and weight, just getting back in the groove
Urban hiking with the dog
Oh how fun Laura!

Burpees UB but slow pace
CTB messy and not all RX, hence scaled workout

Accessories completed
Congrats on the hang snatch PR!!
