COMMENTS:

This workout didn't seem like it was going to be all that much when I looked at the piece of paper this morning (I print off several weeks of workouts and keep them in my desk at work so I can just go in and grab a sheet every morning on my way to the gym), but once I got into the workout I found out that it was pretty intense after all.

I was feeling pretty good until the 30 burpees, and then I started to get tired pretty quickly. The 40 V sit-ups were uncommonly difficult this morning, and the 50 box jumps made for fun walking afterwards.
