Good Morning Chief

Today I finally made the switch from the 6:15am class to the 7am class. At first I felt out of sorts, like I was late for something important. All the ladies I normally see trickle in while I'm mid work-out were now mid workout themselves...very discombobulating. I started the warm-up a little confused trying to focus my mind and remember I was not late for anything important. I was right on time. And then we met The Chief.
"The Chief"
As Many Rounds as Possible in 3 minutes:
3 Power Cleans
6 Push-ups
9 squats

Do that 5 Times.
I was able to complete 17 rounds. I really enjoyed this workout, one of my new favorites in fact. It was one of those times where I felt myself get stronger as I progressed rather than worn down. The sun started rising and the women's class cleared out. All the sudden the gym felt like it was mine. No more confused and discombobulated feelings. It was me and my power cleans, push-ups, squats, and the music. I felt present in my workout. Maybe that extra 45 minutes of sleep made all the difference. There really is a difference between waking up in the 5 o'clock hour vs. the 6 o'clock hour. And there is something great about the sun rising during a workout...it's like a reminder that I'm fueling myself up for the day to come.
Thanks Chief!
