The Magic 50

This is a strength and conditioning workout created by Ross Enamait @www.rosstraining.com.  It's normally done with burpees but since the downstairs neighbor is home I used squat thrusts instead.  Also, I used a 40 lb. dumbbell for the snatches and swings which is much less than I used to use but I'm so out of shape right now it was still intense.  If you want to try this but want to up the intensity use a heavier dumbbell and do burpees instead of squat thrusts.  I only managed a wimpy 12:45 for the time but anyone with even halfway decent conditioning should easily break the 10 minute barrier.

The Magic 50
5 dumbbell snatches per arm
5 dumbbell swings per arm
10 burpees

Repeat the sequence 5 times total for time.  It's called The Magic 50 because you will do a total of 50 db snatches, 50 db swings and 50 burpees.  This is a relatively quick workout but will blast your whole body very, very hard and get you breathing like never before.

Give it a shot and leave your time in the comments!
