Rope Flow and Gada 360s
Following yesterday’s 7-minute DHS session, I intended to keep it [relatively] light and short.
- 10 minutes rope flow
- 10 minutes of 360s – 6.4 kg gada, 55 bpm, 1 rep every 3 beats, had switch every minute
Another beautiful morning to mark the end of Buddhist Lent (the actual day was yesterday, but there was a festival at the temple next door this morning so that’s why I mentioned it).
