Warm-up

Today we will keep things simple by doing a tabata-style workout. In a tabata, you perform a given movement for 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest.

In the first tabata of today’s WOD, we will cycle through each scale variation twice. That is, we will perform a front scale on our left foot for 20 seconds, then a front scale on our right foot for 20 seconds, then a back scale on our left foot for 20 seconds, then a back scale on our right foot for 20 seconds. We will then repeat all four movements one more time.

The next four tabatas will consist of dumbbell box step-ups, mountain climbers, pull-ups, and handstand push-ups.

To time today’s workout using the SmartWOD timer app:

  1. Select “TABATA”.
  2. Choose 8 rounds of 0:20 work, 0:10 rest.
  3. Press the plus sign beside “Add sets (optional)”.
  4. Coose 5 sets with 1 minute of rest between sets.
  5. Press “START TIMER”.

You can also use “tabata songs” on YouTube to time your workout. Check out the link on how to time your workout at the bottom of this post for more information.

Thursday - 10/10/24

Warm-up

Today’s workout is a 14 minute AMRAP (“As Many Reps As Possible”). Try to complete as many rounds of 10/8 calories on the air bike, 10 deadlifts, 5 hang power cleans, and 1 wall walk as you can during the 14 minute work period. Modify the movements and weights as needed so that you can keep moving steadily through the WOD. As always, though, be careful. Even though the goal is to perform as many repetitions as possible, it is better to be slow and safe than fast and injured!

If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD:

Experienced:

14 minute AMRAP:

10/8 calorie air bike

10 deadlifts (115lb, 75lb)

5 hang power cleans (115lb, 75lb)
