LMP August 6

I got up this morning, showered, and decided to do 1/2 of my physical requirements and will do the other half at camp. Since the Olympics are still going on, I'll see if my kiddos can do a physical requirement for a minute, plus I'll get mine in too.     ( it's always more fun with others) 

I still despise burpies. I think I would like them better if there wasn't a push up in the middle.  

I don't see how  / why jump roping is a physical requirement. You would think 'v- sit ups' or specific leg exercises would be required. I would rather do extra situps, or miles over burpies. 

Rolls and falls?!?!  How many of our KT locations does a falls / rolls class? Why isn't this part of our blackbelt class? What if you only have wooden floors at home? Are you expected to buy a membership to a gym to get your rolls and falls in daily? And which rolls and falls? Do you practice alone or hope you have a partner?!
