an exercise log

posting all these workouts has a two-fold purpose:

1) hopefully someone out there finds them useful
and
2) they form an exercise log for me.

i used to write down all these different workouts on scraps of paper that would invariably end up being thrown away. then i got the bright idea of putting them on my blog for quick reference.

1 min jump rope
30 sec high knees
15 burpees
1 min plank
100 jumping jacks
