BUILD WORKOUT (SNEAK PEEK)
BLOCK ONE
Game plan: Complete three rounds for time
Air Bike (20 Calories)
Also called the “Death Bike,” this is a great no impact, full-body option for cardiovascular HIIT conditioning.
– Adjust bike seat to maintain a slight knee bend at the down stroke position.
– Use arms and legs equally to maintain max power.
– Elite goal = 30 seconds; Novice goal = 1 minute
Kettlebell Single-Arm Squat Clean (x 10 Reps Total)
Take one kettlebell from the floor to the “racked” position while catching in a squat position.
– Stand and snap hips to drive KB and provide speed.
– Keep the KB close to the body and send up in a straight line.
– Take arm around the KB and clench it into your side to a racked position while dropping into squat.
TRX Muscle Up (x 8 Reps)
TRX is a great tool to help develop full-body strength, stability and fitness.
– Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, elbows locked at your side with hands near thighs.
– Sit on floor, keeping arms fully extended.
– While driving through heels, begin quickly pulling the TRX strap to lift from floor.
– At the endpoint of the pulling action, transfer quickly to push into full standing position.
– The finish position should be the same as your start position with arms locked at sides.
Barbell Push Press (x 6 Reps)
A great way to produce upper-body power and strength while using legs/hips to provide speed.
– Stand with feet shoulder-width apart in a front racked position, while gripping the barbell just outside of shoulders.
– Take a shallow and quick dip of hips.
– Drive through heels and extend hips while quickly pressing barbell overhead.
BLOCK TWO: Core Stability and Strength
Game plan: Complete three sets
Landmine Standing Torso Rotation (x 12 Reps Total)
A great variation that helps develop strength and stability while utilizing a fixed movement
– Keep feet in an athletic stance or about shoulder-width apart.
– Slowly rotate the top of the barbell toward your thigh by turning shoulders.
– Avoid dipping shoulders or allowing hips to rotate.
Kettlebell Plank Pull-Through (x 12 Reps Total)
A great exercise to promote core strength and stability.
– Start in a plank position: ankles, knees, hips and shoulders all in a straight line.
– While keeping your spine and head aligned, use your right hand to reach behind your left palm to grab KB — pull and set it down on your right side behind palms. Repeat on the opposite side.
– Focus on actively contracting core muscles and maintaining hips square to the floor throughout the movement.
Dumbbell Bear Row: (x 12 Reps Total)
An advanced version of a plank row or “Renegade Row.” The “Bear” position takes your hips out of the equation and requires better shoulder and core stability.
– Start in a bear crawl position — hands under shoulders, knees under hips and slightly off the floor.
– While maintaining a neutral spine, slowly lift DB from the floor and drive elbow past your torso.
– Replace DB back to starting position, and repeat on opposite arm.
– Focus on maintaining bear position. Don’t go too heavy.
