    Workout of the Day
    4 rounds:
    90 seconds of strict pull ups
    30 seconds of rest
    90 seconds of calories
    30 seconds of rest

    At the start of each work interval (the pull ups and the calories), complete 30 double unders.

    Choose a jump rope difficulty that you can finish in about 20 seconds; you should have close to a full minute on the strict pull ups and the machine each round. Pick a challenging pull up difficulty and do your best to hang on to it. Push the pace on the machine!
