Weekly WODs:
Monday – Yogi Master Monday
Our workout is will incorporate a great deal of pushing and pulling today. We have two 8-minute AMRAPs of handstand pushups, renegade rows, and calories on the rower. We will get swole n’ flexy with the remainder of class with a yoga flow routine. Yoga PRs, anyone?
Tuesday – Squat Day + Roll-Out
We have come to another build week in our current cycle. We will crush our 5×3 or 5×5 squat of choice, and follow it up with a spicy butt blaster of double-unders and hang squat cleans. You’ll need to claim a foam roller after this one!
Wednesday – Better Movement, Better Results
We pride ourselves on effective scaling for workouts and attempting to get 1% better everyday. Today’s workout is a test to that commitment. Our workout today will showcase our ability to maintain consistent pacing on 400 meter runs, and holding our own on higher skill gymnastics movements. Our options for the gymnastics movements include bar muscle-ups, banded pull-ups, or strict pull-ups.
Thursday – NCFit Benchmark WOD “Cali Bear”
Our day 5 workout is all too familiar! It is one heavy clean and jerk every thirty seconds for twenty minutes! Our WOD today is a great test of strength and muscular endurance.
Friday – Bring – A – Friend
We’ll be performing a sprint like workout that prioritizes athleticism and cardio capacity. We have box jumps, rowing, biking, and even more box jumps.
Saturday Community WOD
Our WOD today will smoke the midline as well as the legs. We will be performing burpees and weighted box step ups that are followed by static holds. Our static holds include kettlebell overhead holds and wall-sits.
