bodyweight workout: max rep push ups

WARM UP (10-15 minutes)
- 200m run or 200 jump rope jumps or jumping jacks
- dynamic range of motion exercises (vertical and horizontal arm swings, arm circles, forward-back and side to side torso bends, torso rotations, forward-back and side to side leg swings)
- 5 each of: forward lunges, backward lunges, pushups, pyramid/downward dog pushups, goodmornings, v-ups/crunches

SPECIFIC WARM UP (5-10 minutes)
max rep push ups
Do 3 rounds of the following (not time-bound):
- max push ups
- 1 minute rest

For the push ups, do the variation that you usually do for workouts (may be knees down, or declined push ups). Make sure to keep your body hollowed out, do not arch.

Once you find yourself pausing to take a breath, you start to arch your back or sag your hips, stop. That will be 1 round of max push ups.

WOD (5-10 minutes)
For time:
- 21 burpees
- 21 v-ups/knee up crunches/crunches
- 15 burpees
- 15 v-ups/knee up crunches/crunches
- 9 burpees
- 9 v-ups/knee up crunches/crunches
