See workout details below. Google or see my email for movement specifics of each exercise. FYI, AMRAP stands for As Many Rounds As Possible
Program:
Week 1: Perform each of the following in order throughout the week
-Workout A - 10 minutes AMRAP
-1 mile run, 2k meter row, or other cardio for 10 minutes (maintain a pace that allows no rest during)
-Workout B - 10 minutes AMRAP
-Tabata* run, row or other preferred cardio (running or rowing would be optimal but others fine)
Week 2: Same as week 1 but progressively difficult
-Workout A - 12 min AMRAP
-1.5 mile run, 3k meter row, or other cardio for 15 minutes (try to not take any breaks during)
-Workout B - 12 min AMRAP
-Tabata*, two times. Run, row or other preferred cardio, preferably do two different cardio exercises with each tabata
Week 3: Same as week 2 but progressively difficult
-Workout A - 15 min AMRAP
-2 mile run, 4k meter row, or other cardio for 20 minutes (try to not take any breaks during)
-Workout B - 15 minutes AMRAP
-Tabata* three times. Run, row or other preferred cardio. Okay to do 2 of the tabatas with same exercise
Details:
Workout A (fast twitch/slow twitch CNS battle): AMRAP of the following:
-10 x dumbbell thrusters* (can substitute w/ kettlebells); pick as heavy of weight that you can to challenge yourself; try to use the same weight all three weeks unless you really chose the wrong weight the first week
-10 x box jumps (shoot for 16 - 30 inches for box height; around 24 inches is kind of a sweet spot for most people)
-10 x knees-to-elbow, push-up position
Workout B (push/pull): AMRAP of the following:
-5 x burpees
-5 x pullups (modify as needed if too easy or too difficult but don't take long to complete 5 reps; keep your heart rate going)
-10 x canoe-ups
* Tabata = 20 seconds all out sprint followed by 10 seconds of complete rest, repeated for total of 8 reps with a continuous clock, so one tabata should always take 4 minutes. GO HARD and kill yourself. You'd be amazed at the benefits of such nonsense.
