Finally someone asked the question! I was wondering the same thing, it seemed like you were doing wind sprints during the filming. You should have recorded the workout sets as well so we could critique you!! BTW, I'm perfect so far on my quiz score. Ha! Finally someone asked the question!

So yes there would be a linear correlation, but it wouldn't amount to very much. JB Lars,
