Workout Saturday 1 May 2010

Skill work.

20 minutes of work on a skill that you feel is lacking. Don't go to maximum effort, only about 65% and work on perfect form.

Run 5 k not for time

Finish with one minute total Front lever work.

I push you hard. Sometimes I want you to back off so you don't overtrain.

Practice your breathing for fifteen minutes every day you can do it anytime and anywhere. Make sure your diet is dialed in eating lots of meat and veggies and avoiding grains, legumes and dairy.
Remember to listen to your body and take time to relax and enjoy yourself every day. Laughing for 5 minutes can be more beneficial than sweating for 30.
Following these simple rules will make sure you are able to hit the gym and train hard whenever needed yet recover fully to be able to work out again tomorrow.

Take care

Rest Day!

Today is a rest day.
Or, make up a work out you may have missed.
Or, do some skill work on a movement you may be lacking in.

I don't fast on rest days. I do my 16 - 18 hour fast every day but on my rest days. On these days I take it as an opportunity to make up calories I may be lacking from the past days that I have been on a fast.

You may want to consider doing something similar. Remember fasting is only a tool. It's easy to get addicted to. You still need to get in enough calories to recover from your workouts and to grow.

Work out, eat, grow, be strong.

Yours in health and performance

A Tabata is eight intervals of 20 seconds of all out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest. Go as hard as you can this workout it's a sprint so push it. Get from your row to you your run with as little rest as possible. count Total meters from all 3 rounds of Tabata row and total time for the run. Notice that the last run is 800m so you'll be running a mile in total.

Finish with one  minute total handstand work without the wall. You can be in front of the wall for security but every second spent touching the wall DOES NOT count towards your minute of total work

Monday 12 april 2010

No strength today put it all into the WOD.

I did this WOD on Saturday and it was amazing. I got it off of the CrossFit Main site. It's tough do your best.

5 Rounds for time:
135 pound back squat, 20 reps
Handstand walk, 20 yards.

If 135 is heavy scale as needed. If you can not yet walk on your hands do 20 handstand push ups, or 30 reps handstand wall run. If you can not do that yet do a piked version with your feet on a bench and your rear as high as you can get it, try to have your upper body as vertical as possible.

My time for this was 12:03 as Rx'd. See if you can beat it!

Good luck
