The Centurion Circuit: A centurion was a professional officer of the Roman army after the Marian reforms of 107 BC. They were known for their strength, dexterity and incredible bravery during battle. Players are to make it through this tough 40-minute circuit, they will have to embody the qualities of the centurion.

Each week I take the most important parts of my daily emails and condense them for your convenience. In this weeks news I'll be sharing 2 fun group fitness class ideas.
My 15k slam ball is by far my most used piece of fitness equipment, I absolutely love it.
The one I have is called a dead ball which doesn't bounce when you slam it.
Here's a really tough slam ball workout that will have you sweating buckets, and wanting to kill me. But do it anyway! You'll feel amazing.
Workout 1: Cardio Crush
Complete Burpees for 1 minute then slams for 1 minute x 10 rounds as fast as you can without stopping (20 minutes). Honestly, your body won't know whats hit it.
Workout 2: Complete Your Age In __________
Have players complete their age in Burpees. I'm 40, so that would be 40 burpees. Obviously it sucks if you're older, but it's good fun, especially when you see the look on some peoples faces. Ha ha.
