Resurrection Workout est 14 min
2012
We’re working on pull ups today. The pull up bar is out!! It’s been awhile since I have done any pull ups and so this one is a tough one for me. But I am on it! Pull ups are great for upper body strength and for developing your lats, the upper-side back muscles that give you a great shape! Also it gives you a sense of power to be able to lift yourself up, and it’s a great survival skill if you ever find yourself dangling off a building or cliff.
This workout is made up of 10 reps of pull up burpees interspersed with ab exercises to work the core and to give you a bit of recovery between the pull ups. It goes by smoothly and quickly. It took me less time than I thought it would. It is not a time challenge but I timed it and it took me 14 minutes and 25 seconds, and that was not rushing through it.
