1st workout is in the books, awesome job Team Scarito

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.
