This 78-Year-Old's Birthday Workout Will Amaze You

For Jacinto Bonilla, the so-called “grandfather of CrossFit," birthdays are definitely not a day off from the gym.

The 78-year-old has earned a reputation among CrossFitters for pushing himself on his July 3 birthday every year since his 69^th. He has created this killer workout which is all done in repetitions coinciding with his current age.

The workout, fittingly nicknamed the “Jacinto Storm,” includes 78 double-unders, 78 squats, 78 push-ups, 78 chin-ups, 78 wall ball shots, 78 kettlebell swings, 78 deadlifts with a 90-pound weight.

And if that wasn’t enough, it ends with another round of those double-unders.

Check it out - it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.
