Monday Workout: Leap!

This week, we are channeling our inner Lords a-leaping.  Please keep in mind that if you need new knees for Christmas, you might want to do the non-jumping version of the squats and lunges, which will help strengthen all the muscles you can use for leaping in the future.  Doing the jumping (“plyometrics,” in fancy trainer-speak) makes the exercises more cardio-intensive and challenges our cores as we negotiate balance and landing mechanics, but it isn’t necessary for a good workout.  Three rounds.

(jump) squats	30
deadlifts	20
dips	10
plyo/regular/mod jacks	30
rows	20
Arnold presses	10
(jump) lunges	30
curls	20
