4+ hours rest … instead of 30 min rxd airdyne/run will do 30 min of some barefoot plyo and aqua jogging
You progressing with the movements?
Wasn’t Jesus an aqua walker/jogger?
You bet. My biggest complaint – these workouts take forever. My biggest praise – I have learned a ton by having the needed time and focus to learn the movement.
+ Stephen’s program also unmasks key deficiencies, which is really helpful.
RE performing miracles, ran short on time today and just did 30 min of barefoot plyo work… (but it was raining at least).
