Everyone's favourite acronym: AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible). Here are the deets: We have not one but two AMRAPs for you today. AMRAP 1 is 12 minutes. Complete the required reps for each exercise before moving on to the next one. Rest as needed, but keep those breathers short. This one is all about getting your heart rate JACKED. After the first 12 minute AMRAP, rest two minutes, set your timer for 8 minutes and jump into AMRAP number 2 (see the PDF for more info on the e...xercises if they're not familiar to you).
