I started my own tradition several years ago, so was in the garage at 9am to get in the workout. I remembered to put the kettlebell in the house yesterday so it wouldn’t be ice cold.
“Sissy Test”
- 25 -> 1 Burpee
- 1 -> 25 Russian KBS (53#)

I started with step back and step up burpees from the first rep and continued all the way through. Each round I split the reps between which leg was leading so I wouldn’t cause one side or the other to do more work since it was like a lunge on every rep. I started using chalk on the last 3-4 sets of swings and was able to do every set of them unbroken this year, when I usually have to break up the last few sets. Kept a steady heart rate and just kept moving, with a better time than last year.
