ROSS ENAMAIT's MAGIC 50 METABOLIC CONDITIONING WORKOUT by 69-years young Pierini Fitness

5/12/2024 - You can judge a challenging and tough workout by how infrequently you perform it. For me, Ross Enamait’s Magic 50 Workout is near the top of my list.
The Magic 50 is one of many routines contained in Ross Enamait’s book Infinite Intensity, circa 2005. The prescribed workout is to complete five rounds of the following:
• 5 dumbbell snatches per arm
• 5 dumbbell swings per arm
• 10 burpees
• Rest 60 seconds or less between rounds
I’ve probably done this metabolic conditioning workout less than a dozen times in my middle-aged man fitness training life; the last time was four and one-half years ago on 11/3/2019 at age 64 years. My time that day was 10 minutes 38 seconds.
I use a 20kg kettlebell instead of the prescribed dumbbell and the swings I do target a chest-level top height.
My time today was 10 minutes 59 seconds. So, four and one-half years older and 21 seconds slower, I'll take it!
Here's a link to the video of the last time I did this workout:

My good friend Tom was with me today to provide support and I appreciated his warm and quiet presence. He's a world-renowned musician and the best fiddle player in the whole wide world. Here's a link to his CZcams channel:

Great workout! Glad you're still posting. That was a great shade tree, too!

Thank you. Being that I do my training outdoors and often at parks, I have an eye for spotting shade to do my workouts which isn't easy where I live but easy where I'm currently visiting, and I'm enjoying it.
