IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE OUR LAST WOD UPDATE AND FOR THAT I APOLOGIZE. LIFE SOMETIMES TAKES OVER AND YOU MUST FACE IT HEAD ON AND ONCE YOU HAVE DEALT WITH IT, ONLY THEN CAN YOU MOVE ON. SO WE ARE NOW MOVING ON....
I HAVE ADDED A FEW DIFFERENT STYLES OF TRAINING TO MY REGIMEMENT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU ADD DIFFERENT THINGS TO YOURS, FOR A FEW REASONS.
FIRST OFF IT KEEPS TRAINING FUN AND INTERESTING. GOING FOR A RUN OR A BIKE RIDE ON A TRAIL PATH IS NOT ONLY GREAT EXERCISE BUT ALLOWS YOU TO GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY A BIT OF NATURE. MAYBE IT IS TAKING YOUR KETTLEBELL OR DUMBBELL TO THE BEACH FOR A NICE WORKOUT BY THE WATER. THE SAND WILL ADD A WHOLE OTHER DIMENSION TO YOU STABILITY AND CORE WORK..
THE SECOND REASON IS
THAT YOU NEVER WANT YOUR MUSCLES TO BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THIS CONCEPT OF MUSCLE CONFUSION HAS BEEN USED MY MANY DIFFERENT FITNESS PROFESSIONALS AND IT REALLY WORKS.
SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, WHAT HAVE I ADDED TO MY REGIMEMENT? I HAVE ADDED ONE DAY A WEEK OF PLAYING ULTIMATE FRISBEE. THIS GAME IS GREAT FOR CARDIO BUT MUCH MORE THEN THAT. IT IS A TOTAL BODY WORKOUT. YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF DOING SPRINTS, ANYWHERE FROM 10 YARDS TO 60 YARDS. YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF RUNNING CONSTANTLY WHICH BUILDS YOUR ENDURANCE. THROWING THE FRISBEE TAKES ALMOST EVERY MUSCLE IN YOUR UPPER BODY. OF COURSE THERE IS THE PHYSICAL CONTACT OF TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM YOUR DEFENDER. THIS WILL TAKE A TOLL ON YOU AND IS SO MUCH FUN!!! YOU HAVE TO TRY IT AT LEAST ONCE..
THE OTHER THING I HAVE ADDED TO MY REGIMENT IS RUNNING. NOW I WILL ADMIT, I HATE RUNNING BUT ADDING THIS TO MY REGIMENT IS TO PROVE THAT I CAN DO THINGS THAT I DON'T REALLY LIKE. PLUS RUNNING PROVIDES A WAY FOR ME TO UNLOAD FROM ALL THE WEIGHTS USED IN THE XFIT WORKOUTS..
OK SO HERE IS TODAY'S WOD...
3 ROUNDS: 21 REPS, 15 REPS, 9 REPS OF
FRONT SQUATS 95#s
HANDSTAND PUSH UPS
AND 10 DOUBLE UNDER JUMP ROPES AFTER EACH ROUND...
I WAS ABLE TO FINISH IN 14:00 MINUTES BUT WAS TIRED FOR SURE, ESPECIALLY AFTER PLAYING ULTIMATE FRISBEE THIS MORNING..
TO SCALE THIS WORKOUT YOU CAN REDUCE THE WEIGHT FOR THE FRONT SQUATS. IF YOU CAN NOT DO A HANDSTAND PUSH UP YET, PLACE YOUR FEET ON A CHAIR OR BOX SO THAT THEY ARE ABOVE YOUR BODY. AS FOR THE DOUBLE UNDERS, IF YOU CAN NOT DO ONE KEEP PRACTICING UNTIL YOU CAN, BUT UNTIL THEN YOU CAN SCALE THEM BY DOING 3 SINGLE JUMPS FOR EVERY DOUBLE UNDER..
TRAIN TO LIVE!!!!
