Eye on the pool for a post workout dip

Between getting my readings done in preparation for summer grad school next week and relaxing poolside I slipped in this workout. I’ve done the 500 Workout and was actually aiming for a 1000 Workout but my body is (right foot in particular) a little beat up from the weekend so I was forced to scale a few things back today. While doing the Burpees I realized the jump was aggravating my foot and was forced to end at 100. In a way I feel like I failed as I came up short I did 70%. The push-ups killed me at the end. I limped through my last 10 of them but got it done.

Dirt In Your Skirt’s Own 
700 Workout
100 Burpees
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Body Weight Squats
100 Pelvic Thrusts or Hip Thrusts
200 Bicycles (100 each side)

For once in my life I am trying to not let my stubbornness let me just muscle through a workout, when in the end I push myself to injury and put myself out of training for an extended period of time.  Over years of training for various sports I have learned it is critical to listen to your body. As I have been icing my right foot on and off today with my eye on getting back on the trail tomorrow, I made sure not to push it too much today as it is a “rest day” and risk injury. Happy to say I have an endless supply of ice around so I can let it and rest do it’s magic! If you don’t know what a is Burpee, welcome to the world of Burpees! Watch this video, you can modify without the push-up and stay in plank position instead.
