Workout of the Week 5/17/2020

Hello everyone!! It was another beautiful weekend here in Germany and I have definitely enjoyed the warm weather and the fact that the country is slowly starting to open up. But it is time for another Workout of the Week.

And next weekend is Memorial Day Weekend and Memorial Day we do Murph. So today's workout is designed to help you get ready.

For this workout you will need a pull-up bar and just some space.

Movements

Pull-ups are first. Start from a dead hang, and pull yourself up so that your chin goes over the bar. Make sure to come back down all the way so that your arms are fully extended. You can do kipping pull-ups as well.

Then 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. 

For the squats, 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.
