Viscous valentine WO


Valentine’s Day, or St. Valentine’s Day, actually originates from the honoring of early Christian martyrs.  There were many of these martyrs of which many had the first name Valentine, which comes from the word “valens”, meaning worthy, strong, and powerful.  So, that being said, and in honor of Valentine’s Day, try this workout!

It will be wise to do a slight warm-up prior to beginning this set of circuits. Perform each circuit as many times thru as you possibly can within ten minutes, also keep a pace that is relatively fast.  Only take breaks between circuits that last between 3-5 minutes depending on your abilities. Prior to the 3-5 minute recovery but after each 10min circuit, perform 5 min of jump rope.
