Saturday 10/24/15.... "Chipper Saturday"


Conditioning:
one time through - 

     100 meter farmers walk
     90 air squats
     80 lunges
     70 sit ups

The name Chipper describes a workout that combines a lot of different movements at high volume. You complete all reps assigned for each exercise before moving on to the next. Unlike the circuits seen in a lot of CrossFit workouts, a Chipper is performed only once. The best approach is to work methodically through each exercise. If you’re not competing in the CrossFit Games themselves, there’s no need to hammer away at top speed; Chippers are brutal regardless, so pace yourself and Chip away! :)
