Maybe it was the perfect weather, or maybe it was the April Fools twitter banter regarding no burpees and no running at The Blitz. Or maybe it was the chance to see the International Space Station fly by at 17,000 mph. Either way the first day of April brought 18 PAX* out of the woodworks to swing some heavy metal. Enough kettlebells for everyone. No FNGs, but several new faces to The Blitz this morning, so YHC gave a few kettlebell basics. This was Chongers favorite part. (The mumble chatter continued at a low hum for the rest of the workout. Who needs music.)
So, with no Space Station in sight, it was time to get going. Which included both running and burpees:
