Workout of the Week 3/29/2020
Happy Sunday everyone!! Today is the last Workout of the Week for the month of March. And oh what a month it has been.
This month the Coronavirus has hit most of the world and as such, most of us are under some sort of quarantine or social distancing orders. I am personally working from home and only going out to the store to get essentials and to do outdoor exercise.
And today is a beautiful day to do an outdoor workout. For this workout, you will need some space and your body.
Movements
First, there are Push-ups. For these start in the plank position and go down so your chest touches the ground and then push all the way back up. Keep your back straight and try not to worm your way back up.
Sit-ups are next. These are pretty simple. Start by lying down on your back with your legs in a butterfly position. Then sit up, keeping your back straight and bring your shoulders past your hip crease. I recommend having an abMat under your back to help.
Start with your feet shoulder-width apart. Then squat down until your hip crease is below your knee crease, making sure to keep your weight on your heels and your knees tracking out over your toes. Also, keep your chest up. Then come back to a full standing position.
Lastly, you need to just go on a run!! I would measure out 200 m and run there and back or go to a track.
Workout of the Week
20 Min AMRAP
- 5 Push-up
- 10 Sit-ups
- 15 Air squats
- 400 m Run
Scaling options would be to do the push-ups from your knees or against an object such as a box, bench or wall. Instead of running you could bike or walk. However, if you are going to bike it would need to be for about 2:30 minutes.
