At-Home Workout (No Equipment)
For our at-home and travel workouts, please start a clock and allow it to run throughout your training session. The entire session will take 60-minutes or less, and staying accountable to the clock will allow you to maintain the appropriate intensity and stimulus.

When the clock starts, perform…

30 seconds of Inchworm Walk + Scap Push-Up + Press-Up
30 seconds of Shoulder Taps
60 seconds of rest

Breathe exclusively through your nose throughout this entire portion. If you find that your mouth drops open, you’re going too hard. Slow your pace and resume breathing only through your nose. Perform this at 75-80% effort.

When the running clock reaches 15:00, perform the following…

Every minute, on the minute, for 20 minutes (4 sets of):
Station 1: 6-8 Left Leg Bulgarian Split Squats @ 3111
Station 2: 6-8 Right Leg Bulgarian Split Squats @ 3111

Inhale for 3-5 seconds through your nose…
Brief hold in…
Exhale for 6-10 seconds through your mouth (like you are blowing a whistle)…
Brief hold out.

Keep the ratio of inhale to exhale at a 1:2.

Coaches Note:
The intention of today’s session is to get in some solid upper body volume. During the 20 minute EMOM, focus on the handstand holds and make sure to transition quickly to the backpack ground to overhead.

150 Double-Unders

Strength Accessory Option

Rest 2-3 minutes

Goal is to perform 5% more than you performed on April 20.

Against a 60-second running clock…
12/9 Calorie Assault Bike
Max Reps of Air Squats
Rest 60 seconds and repeat for a total of TEN sets.

If you have a weighted vest wear it! Don’t be scared to push the pace on these and trust that you can maintain an aggressive pace and be able to recover in 60 seconds.

Running Endurance Option
Every 3 minutes, for 24 minutes (8 sets) for times:
Run 250 Meters @ 105% of your 400m PR pace

We will be re-testing your 400 meter sprint next week. Accordingly, run these 5% faster than the pace you held for your 400m PR – so if your 400m PR was 60 seconds, you’ll aim to finish the 200 meters in 28.5 seconds each set. (60/1.05/2)

Rowing Endurance Option
Every 4 minutes, for 32 minutes (8 sets) for times of:
Row 500 Meters

Your goal should be to maintain consistent pacing across all sets. If possible, wear a heart-rate monitor and note how your heart rate follows your perceived rate of exertion over the course of your workout.

Overall a good day. My shoulders are actually the one thing that doesn’t get fatigued with DUs. My feet, calves, and forearms do, but my shoulders felt strong throughout. I’m still bamboozled how jumping rope is the hardest thing on my movement list! But with close to 1,000 reps this week, I have plenty of time to “practice” or figure out what I’m doing wrong! 🙂
