Warm-up

Welcome to another beautiful autumn Monday, Community Fitness Club! Let’s kick off this week with 5 rounds of 6 handstand push-ups, 8 pull-ups, 15 wall ball squat cleans, and 20 sit-ups.

Since the number of handstand push-ups performed each round is small, try to challenge yourself by performing a harder variation than normal. If you usually use an abmat to raise your head a little, you might try going flush to the floor today. If you usually perform box handstand push-ups kneeling on the box, you could try standing on the box today instead. If you’re already really good at handstand push-ups, think about trying deficit handstand push-ups today.

For everything else, pick scaling options that allow you to complete each exercise in 1-2 sets. It’s okay to scale to an easier variation or to reduce the number or repetitions per round. You know your body best. Make smart choices, and have fun out there today!

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

Warm-up

TGIF, Community Fitness Club! We will close out the week with 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.

In the second tabata, you will bear crawl. Try to bear crawl both forward and backward during today’s workout. The last three tabatas will consist of Superman holds, broad jumps, and flutter kicks.

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”.

Everyone will be performing the same workout today. The only differences will be in how you modify the movements to your personal fitness level, how long you are able to hold the movements, and how many reps of the movements you are able to do. Do your best today, and that will be good enough!

Everyone:

Tabata 1 - Scales (front left, front right, back left, back right)

Rest 1 minute

Tabata 2 - bear crawl (forward and backward)
