Oct 5, 2013 - Open House

With the open house today, time will likely be tight for everyone. 

So here's an idea for a quick one that should take you 30 min including warmup. 

Complete your pre-hab and movement prep. 

The first section includes warm up components, so don't delay, jump into this one. 

Part 1: (total 5-6min)

Skipping x 2min

Jumping Jacks x 20

Push-ups x 10

Skipping x 60s

Run the stairs: x 2 @87&88, x1 @89

3-7 pull-ups. 

Part 2: -if there are not enough TRXs to go around work on Part 3 or 4 first. 

TRX: 3 rounds -5-6 min total

-Archer push-up x 10

-Ts/Ys/Ws x 12 

-Row x 10

-knee drive x 10

-Pendulum x 10

-Pike x 4

Part 3: 5min including 60s cool down

Tabata

-on bike, 20s hard : 10s spinning recovery x 8 rounds

Part 4: 3 rounds 6-8min

-Dips x 10 (use rack attachment, not bench)

-5 point lunge x 5

-Pop push-ups or push-ups hopping over med ball x 10

-Hammer curls x 10 -this can also be done with a sandbag. But don't let the set up slow you down. You're on the clock. 

-Skipping x 60s

-Step up (onto box with knee drive) x 10/side

-finisher: row 1000m

If the rower is taken, pick your poison and match the time the rower outs in. Don't forget the stair climber at 89!

Now get your PR face on. 

And keep moving forward.

Sept 3, 2013

Big day of training again today. 

I understand not many (if anyone) had time to get their morning workout in last shift. So if you have time for the full deal today, refer back to the workout from last shift. 

On these busy days, which don't sound like they're coming to an end, consider trying to fit something smaller and simpler in. 

If you have 15-20 minutes:

-Do your pre-hab, warm up. 

-Include a mix of push-ups, pull-ups and burpees in the warmup. 

-Bike Tabata (4min)

-push-ups to max

-pull ups to max

-hanging abs to max

Get geared up for training!

Also keep in mind that if you normally workout for 60-80 min and then have a second big breakfast and now you're doing 15 min or nothing at all, adjust your food intake accordingly. 

Check out the main page (link at the top on left) for some updates on new equipment. 

End of Summer: Aug 31, 2013

Warm up, prehab
-Start with Tabata on bike/rower when you are warm:
20s work: 10s recovery x 8

Pyramid!
(#reps/set = 10...9...8...7...6...a second tabata!...Abs..Done)
It's not a full pyramid, so make sure the intensity stays high. With fall will come some more strength training, so enjoy the last few anaerobic days. 

If you have feedback, or requests, or something you want the platoon or yourself to work on when we change things up, make yourself heard and speak up. 

Push ups on ab ball  {alternative push up challenge: click here; For decreased difficulty, remove ball}
Inverted Row on TRX
Box Jumps (increased difficulty: land on bosu)
Hamstring curls on ball or TRX
Hammer Curls/Bicep Curls (alternate between the two on each round)
T-Bar Row
Incline push-ups on TRX or Archer push-up in trx for increased diff.

Concentration curls

Hazard House Day

It's hazard house day. 

The first engine is starting at 0900, so this will directly interfere with the scheduled workout time for some of us. For those who aren't directly affected, the advice from the trainers is to take it easy as we will be getting quite the physical and mental work out with the training. 

Still use your fitness time as you see for with an old workout or some simple warm-up and bike tabata followed by lots of stretching. 

Pre hydrate for the training!
