Its deload week!! I typically like to use this week to focus on extra mobility work and doing things outside of the gym. This helps me get ready for the next strength cycle thats coming next week. Enjoy.
A: This workout isn't necessarily for time, but you should keep your rest as short as possible. Try to perform the prescribed amount of reps for each movement in as little sets as possible. Focus on form and mind muscle connection.
B: This is a Crossfit workout call Annie. Its a couplet of double understanding and sit ups. Perform 50 reps of each, then 40 reps of each and so on. This workout is for time so push yourself.
C: On this one, we're performing a loaded walk. You can use anything you want for weights, whether that be some dumbbells, a keeltebll, medal, small child, weight vest, or random object. Its all up to you. Just be sure to keep a brisk speed and/or perform step ups.
D: Super simple workout here. Just hop on a rower and row 3k meters as fast as you can.
Wx2: Don't forget about your two walking days. Do at least two 30 minute sessions this week (see if you can sneak in a third). Involve the family, take the dogs, or go solo to clear your head.
Vocabulary for the week:
PU= pull ups
BW= body weight
BB= barbell
FT= for time- perform as quickly as possible with good form
DU= double under- pass the jump rope under twice with a single jump
Can't wait to see how you all do! Post your results in the comments.
