Week 2 homework

The homework for this week is 100 Burpees. Please complete by next Monday. If you don't know what burpees is, they are a 5-step exercise which is performed as rapidly as possible:

1) squat down put hands on the ground
2) jump legs back to push-up position
3) do a push-up
4) jump legs back into squat position
5) jump up as high into the air as possible

Then repeat until exhausted. The 5 steps count as one burpee. Let me know next class how long it took to do them. 

Also, please continue working the handstand in any of the progressions I have taught so far. My goal for you all is to be comfortable holding a freestanding handstand for at least a few seconds by the end of the course. For that to happen, we need to practice as much as possible. Have a great week!
