PERFORMANCE

Warm-Up.

3-5 minutes of Foot Mobility Drills

Followed by…

Double-Leg Calf Raise Stretch x 2 minutes + Single-Leg Eccentrics for Calves x 8-10 reps each leg @ 10 seconds down per rep
(Movement demos from 0:00-1:15 on this video)

Followed by…

“Air Fran”

Using a PVC pipe only, perform:
21 Thrusters
21 “Kipping Pull-Ups”
15 Thrusters
15 “Kipping Pull-Ups”
9 Thrusters
9 “Kipping Pull-Ups”

*You won’t actually do pull-ups for this. Instead, mimic the motion of the pull-ups with your arms, using the PVC as the “bar” while keeping your feet firmly planted on the floor. So your arms and the bar will move but the rest of your body will not. The purpose is to elevate your heart rate for the main workout so go as fast as possible and see if you can beat the world record Fran time of 1:53!

Then…

A.
Every 10 minutes, for 40 minutes (4 sets) for times:
40/30 Calories of Assault Bike
800 Meter Run
50 Double-Unders

Modify the workout appropriately such that you get between 2-3 minutes of rest between sets. The intent is smooth pacing and four sets that are very similar in time. If you are running over the 8-minute mark, scale back accordingly.

B.
OPTIONAL Supplemental Core Work
Three Sets of:
Wall-Facing Rotational Medicine Ball Throws x 10 reps each side
Plank Position Foot Slide-in-Outs (feet on sliders) x 20 reps
Rest 60 seconds

ALTERNATE AT-HOME WORKOUT OPTION – LIMITED 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.

Every minute, on the minute, for 15 minutes:
Minute 1: 5 Russian Baby Makers + 30 Seconds of Bottom of Squat Hold
Minute 2: 45 Second Knee Plank Hold
Minute 3: 10 Standing Ground to Sky Touches + 2 Inch Worms

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.

Complete rounds of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 reps for time of:
Dumbbell Squat Cleans
2x Calories Row, Bike or Run

If you do not have dumbbells you may use any weighted object (Barbell, kettlebells, back pack). If you do not have a cardio machine then perform a 200 Meter Run every round.

Followed by…

Three sets of:
Alternating Object Taps in Front Leaning Rest x 20 reps each side
Rest as needed
Hollow Hold x 30 seconds
Rest as needed

Followed by…

Three sets of:
2 minutes of Stretch # 1 (your top priority stretch of choice)
Rest 60 seconds
2 minutes of Stretch # 2 (your second priority stretch of choice)
Rest 60 seconds

Love the foot mobility and calf stretching…threw in some shin and quad stretching too! Air Fran – 2:13 (used a straight bar 1#…not sure what to think about this except my chin got up and personal with the bar a couple times) A. E10M for 40 min (4 sets) – RX on elements ***Wasn’t sure how to scale except what works best for me is to just do each round for time and then rest 2-3 min.

Air Fran was interesting. Definitely left the front of the shoulders a little lit up.

A. 7:14, 6:51, 6:54*

*Did with 40 Cal row and clearly I don’t read good because I thought this was only a three rounder. Was a fun workout to push.

Thank you! I didn’t not have 40 min to compete today’s workout. Honestly I’ve felt cruddy the past few days. Legs feel gone due to all the hours I spend standing and running around due to football practices!
