Saw this and thought of my Crossfitt friends :) Now before you go commenting how easy this workout may be to you die hard Crossfitters (if thats even a word haha) The point of this blog is to post workouts that can be done at home with little to no equipment so with that being said here is your WOD :p
Vacations generally present a number of fitness
obstacles, and summer ones are no exception. For starters, there never
seems to be enough room in your suitcase for bulky running shoes and the
five pairs of wedges you just have to bring. Plus, it's way
too beautiful outside to be holed up in a gym (never mind a tiny hotel
room), and your itinerary is jam-packed (you know, with all that
poolside lounging).
But now is so not the time to slack off. This CrossFit-inspired workout, created by Nathan Forster and Michael Alfaro, co-owners of Reebok CrossFit 5th Avenue in New York City, will keep you on track. For the uninitiated, this uberpopular fitness program runs you through a series of functional exercises at an intense pace. Translation: You build muscle and torch megacalories in under 20 minutes. This versatile workout requires no equipment and only a few feet of space, so your makeshift gym can be a hotel room, a park, or even the beach.
6 Moves, 4 Workouts!
For CrossFit followers, each day is a new adventure, thanks to the program's signature Workout of the Day routines (WOD), which change up the moves and reps. This helps guarantee results because your body is in a constant state of guesswork; adapting to a set routine is what stalls progress, says Forster. Using the six CrossFit exercises (at right), mix and match the four workouts below. Do three or four sessions a week. It doesn't matter which workouts you pick; just keep the pace fast and the effort hard.
Total Time
Do 10 reps of each exercise, moving from one to the next without resting. Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes.
EXERCISE ORDER: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Total Countdown
Complete 60 reps of the first move, 50 of the second, 40 of the third, and so on, until you've worked down to 10 reps of the last exercise.
EXERCISE ORDER: 2, 1, 6, 5, 4, 3
Total Rounds
Do 12 reps of each exercise, moving from one to the next without rest. Complete five rounds and note how long it takes you to finish. Aim to do the workout faster next time.
EXERCISE ORDER: 3, 4, 5, 2, 6, 1
Total Reps
Complete as many reps as you can of each move in one minute each, moving from one exercise to the next without stopping. Rest one minute, then repeat the entire sequence two more times. Keep track of your total rep count (e.g., if you finish 20 lunge hops, start counting pushups at 21). Try to beat your grand total next time.
EXERCISE ORDER: 5, 6, 2, 3, 1, 4
