Workout of the Week 2/6/2022

This Workout of the Week is inspired by my first day volunteering at a semi-pro football game. Yesterday was a fun and interesting experience for me, and I look forward to the rest of the season. Putting my sports science and rehabilitation schooling to work.

I love getting back to working out especially after being sick. It is always a slow process to get back in shape but I am convinced this year will be a better year for me. I am sure everyone feels that but I am excited to keep improving my home fitness routine.

For today's workout, you will need a set of dumbbells and a jump rope. Try to use heavier weights, this is meant to be hard.

Movements

For deadlifts start by holding the weight at hip level standing up straight. Then you will lower the weights to the ground, making sure to keep a straight and strong back position, slightly bending the legs. Once you touch the ground, stand back up, keeping the weights close to the body. 

For DB Clean start with the weight on the ground, with your knees slightly bent like you're about to do a deadlift. Then you will bring the weights up starting with a deadlift going into a high pull and then flipping your elbows under the weight. Stand to full height before dropping the weights back down.

Lastly, there are double unders. This is when the jump rope passes below your feet twice in one jump, hence the term double unders. 

Workout of the Week

15 Min. AMRAP

• 3 DB DL

Scaling options would be to lower the weight. To scale the double under you can do singles instead-but double the amount. This is a great workout to get the blood pumping your chance to lift some heavy weights.
