hey Brad, how often do you do bodyweight, hiit exercises vs weighted
exercises? or do you combine them in one session?
great channel btw 😉
Wow this was sooo helpful I am just getting started so knowing how to do
the beginner moves is great. I was just not doing them. Love it.
We do a lot of these in CrossFit 🙂
I eat comfort zones. Advanced all the way!
I can do progression 5 the hardest and I am only 14 and I love doing them,
good work brad!
Have you lost some weight???
I actually love to do burpees! I’d say I work on normal burpees most of the
time (progression #3) however I’m still working on doing the push up at the
bottom. I don’t feel my upper body & core strength is quite there yet. I
also seem to have trouble with tightness in my lower back & hips which
makes it hard to get my hands flat on the ground and then to jump my feet
back. I always used to elevate my hands on a step or a bosu to help, or
maybe I should just try to work on going to the floor??
I don’t do these, guess I will start tomorrow. Starting as a beginner.
