The first workout of the contest began today. Doug, Dina, Allison and Ashley did an outstanding job of staying with the fast pace of the workout. Like I said before, all my workouts will be different in every way, this is to your benefit.
Below is how our first workout went:
Started with a mobility warmup.
* Walk out pushups (looking for trunk stability)
* Squat Thrusts 10, 15, 20 with a run around building between sets
* Intro to the Bear Crawl- Great Primitive movement that works the entire body.
* Worked on "face the wall squats" focusing on keeping a flat spine and weight on heels.
* Dip/push up combination. We focused on keeping back against wood during dip.
* Short sprints indoors around track (5)
* finished with some side shuffles slow/fast. again focusing on good form always.
Bottom line- No stationary equipment, only functional body-weight movements. Let me ask you this. We sit all day long, why would we go to a gym to sit some more on a machine that trains the body in a fixed range of motion??
EAT SMART, WATCH YOUR PORTIONS AND NO ALCOHOL.
Great job to all of you. We will prevail.
