At the end of the minute, you move to the next station (whether or not finished the prescribed number of reps). For the burpees - before the workout begins - choose either 16, 12, or 8 reps. Choose wisely - once the number is chosen, it stays the same for all 4 rounds.Compare to 2016.01.09.Option 3:“Prowler Base”1. Load up a manageable weight.2. Sprint 40m at 85% intensity.3.
