Roped in

I went to see my friend Taha, an aerialist and an all-around entrepreneur of athleticism, perform in a Holiday show. You just never know what the man will do next. I was awed. I may wear the rope-burn scar on my left ankle as some sort of climbing merit badge but my skills are rudimentary. I have the raw run-for-you-life skill in rope climbing but there's nothing pretty about my effort. For those of you ready to develop outstanding climbing skills to escape the mundane and run off to join the circus, I offer the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts http://www.sancaseattle.org/. The rest of you can just do the following:


The Challenge

For my advanced clients:
30 Second L-holds on Paralellettes or Traveling Ls for 25 feet
See-saw pull-ups (PRO loves when I shred their towels) / Max Set
Handstand Push-ups / Max Set
(repeat See-Saws and HSPUs for three rounds)
30 Second L-holds

For my soon-to-be advanced clients:

Knees to Elbows - NO SWING / Max Set
Handstand Holds - Max Duration or 10 attempts to Kick-up

For those of you who just exclaimed "are you freakin' kidding!"
