Wednesday NP1

GPP day again.  Of course, go to class tonight.  But in addition, get a good 5 minute GPP workout.

After a good warmup:

Do as many pullup burpees as you can in 5 minutes.

I consider the pullup burpee to be the king of GPP conditioning exercises.  No other exercise challenges as many muscles in as dynamic a pattern.  The only thing that comes close is the rowing  machine, but that gets kind of boring, and a good one costs at least $600.

Alternating the stimulus on GPP conditioning is good.  For instance, one day you would do five sets of 1 minute (as we did on Monday).  The next GPP day, one set of 5 minutes.  The next GPP day, 3 max sets.  That way, your body gets a chance to experience different levels of stress from the same movement pattern.

Similar to how one might train Tiangan perhaps.
