Power Balance Wristbands, yet another BS "health" product, called out for it's hoo-ha marketing claims and forced to admit there is no credible science behind their product.
Perhaps you'd be better off with a Placebo Band, for only $2!
When you find yourself being lured in by claims of easy results, remember - there's no short cut around hard work. There's no magic pills, no butt-toning shoes, no special water, and definitely no wizard magnet bracellets. Want to really improve your strength, balance, and flexibility? Lets do some overhead squats!
WOD
"The 12 Days of January"
1 Dumbbell Turkish Get Up
2 Pull Ups
3 Burpees
4 Ab Mat Sit Ups
5 DB Squat Cleans
6 Push Ups, hands on dumbbells
7 Box Jumps
8 Air Squats
9 Toe to Bar
10 Walking Lunges, each leg
11 Dumbbell Thrusters
12 1-arm Dumbbell Power Snatches, each arm
The rep scheme for this WOD works like the song The 12 Days of Christmas. 1 Turkish Get Up, then 1 Turkish Get Up + 2 Pullups, then 1 Turkish Get Up + 2 Pullups + 3 burpees, etc. until you get all the way down to the 12 snatches.
