Warm-up
Today’s WOD (“Workout of the Day”) is a tabata-style workout. In a tabata, you perform a given movement for eight rounds of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. In the first tabata of today’s WOD, you will cycle through each scale variation twice. That is, you will perform a front scale on your left foot for 20 seconds, then a front scale on your right foot for 20 seconds, then a back scale on your left foot for 20 seconds, then a back scale on your right foot for 20 seconds. You will then repeat all four movements one more time.
For the second and fourth tabata, you will alternate between performing 20 seconds of dumbbell deadlifts and 20 seconds of dumbbell push jerks. For the third and fifth tabata, you will alternate between performing 20 seconds of high knees and 20 seconds of butt kicks. You will rest 1 minute between each tabata.
