Break it up! class #2

NMC EE class #2:  BREAK IT UP

4 rounds of 5.5 minutes.  Add one rep every time the exercises are completed.  This class is 'broken up' into 3 categories:  1. cardio (move across room and back is considered one rep)  2. stationary explosive (at the bar for optional balancing needs)  3. target area (core, glutes)-- mat available/optional, also at bar. Also between rounds "break things up" by having participants join in the middle of the room in a circle. Pass a weight around while everyone is in plank.  Add an additional weight after every round (4 total weights passed at the end).
