Our Backyard

Most of my friends and family live back in the Chicagoland area, and I do miss them, but do you know what I say when people ask me about moving back? The backyard of LA is unbeatable, I think they should all move out here.  Within an hour driving distance we have beaches and surf to play in, deserts to explore and mountains to hike and ski.  This is what makes SoCal such an amazing place, yet how many of you take advantage of this?  Have you gone hiking recently?  When’s the last time you went to the beach or climbed something?  Being in shape gives you the ability to get out into your surroundings and interact with nature more readily.  It reminds you how great it is to be alive!  Take advantage of your days off and go explore!

5 Rounds for time:

30 Glute Ham Sit-ups

25 Back Extensions

If you don’t have a glute ham developer, perform the situps with an abmat, or a rolled up towel under your lower back and perform full sit ups.  For back extensions substitute supermans or more challenging arch rocks.
