Workout of the Week 4/26/2020

Well, it's another beautiful weekend here in Germany and time for another Workout of the Week. I am forever thankful that my family is safe and healthy and that we are still able to workout.

Today's workout comes to you curtesy of the people I follow on Instagram. In the last few days it has popped up all over my feed, done by various different athletes including Noah Ohlsen.

For today's workout, you will need a set of dumbbells and possibly a yoga mat.

Movements

First, we have Dumbbell Thrusters. Thrusters are a compound movement that combines squats with a push press. Start with the DBs at your shoulders, then you squat down making sure your hip crease is below your knee crease. Then as you stand up, thrust the DBs up overhead in a push press movement. Bring the DBs back to your shoulders to start again.

Next are burpees, one of our favorite cardio movements. For this you will start in a standing position, then bring your hands down to the ground near your feet as you jump your feet backwards. This will put you in a plank position, from here do a push-up making sure that your chest touches the ground. Then you will jump your feet back up to your hands and then stand all the way up and finish with a jump clapping your hands over your head.

Workout of the Week

For Time:

• 100 DB Thrusters
• 5 Burpees to start and at the top of every minute

Scaling options would be to reduce the weight of the dumbbells. I have 20 lbs. You can also scale the burpees by either not doing the push-up portion or to do it against a bench or wall.
