With a trip to Ireland and London happening on Saturday, I’ve spent the past two days at a very empty school tackling my to do list. Since I am missing a few days of work, and arriving back the night before the students start, I want to make sure most things are ready for week one.

For whatever reason, I wasn’t expecting my room to look like this when I walked in on Wednesday. Randomly, there was a lot more furniture in this pile then there was when I left the room in the summer. Thankfully, the janitors are super sweet and helped me move some stuff out.

In other news, I’ve been crushing on AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) workouts for the past month or so and wanted to share this Timed Countdown Workout made in that style. AMRAP workouts provide enough entertainment and switching it up so I don’t feel bored, or like any one muscle group is being overworked.

Start the timer for 5 minutes and try to complete AMRAP for those three moves as you can. Take a short rest, then do the moves for 4 minutes. Continue the pattern until you hit the 1-minute plank. If you want to turbo it up, add the same minutes of cardio that you just finished in-between each set.

Here are a few links to videos of the moves if need them:

• Single Leg Squats
• OH Triceps
• Trunk Twists

Off to cross off more things from my list!
