Ang said it was OK to do this close together!

10 meters on the min. Every minute, add 10 meters. Set up 2 cones 10 meters a part, and add one return trip each minute on the minute... You are to add 10 meters each round until you can no longer continue.


This is an endurance workout, mono-structural by nature. Pick a good pace and hold it, however, just know you are gonna need to pick up the pace towards the higher rounds, be mentally smart on how you pace yourself.

Dont Break

7rounds
10 Knees to Elbows (on the ground)
10 Wallballs

For those of you lacking that last little bit to get your knees to your elbow while hanging on the bar here is a good substitution.
2 reasons it is difficult to do on the bar, #1 you do not have enough pulling power to bring your elbows to your knees (so get stronger on your pulls), #2 your abdominals are not strong enough to bring your lower body up to your knees. On the ground knees to elbows works on the latter, your elbows are already bent and you are not hanging on the bar so all you have to do is concentrate on using your abdominals to bring your knees to your elbows. Oh yea sorry if you cannot sneeze or cough or walk erect for the next couple of days. If you do these right you will know what I mean

New Year, New Mentality

So the focus of this year I would like to be on your mental fortitude. You being able to control what your body is telling you. In other words if you are in your last round of squats and your body is telling you that you need to take a break or else, you can control that. You can choose to listen to your body or you can override that message/feeling and push through the uncomfortableness. You can always do a few more reps than what your body is perceiving is possible. I will be there to coach you through it, however, you have the ultimate say on whether you stop or not.

Warmup:
2K row
Go through the motions of a perfect pull-up, push-up, sit-up and squat for a couple of reps.

Workout:
3 Cycles
10 Pull-ups
20 Push-ups
30 Sit-ups
40 Squats
rest 3min between cycles
