Week 4 work-out

Rules of the Road: Warm-up, stretch, go at your own pace, but push yourself and write everything down! Good luck!

Work-Out 1

4 rounds for time of:

¼ mile run

Alternatives: If you can’t run; then just walk. If a ¼ mile is too far, lessen the distance, but write it down so you can compare this work out to future ones

60 lbs Overhead squat x15 reps: use the barbell (big bar) if possible, or dumbbells will be fine too (60 lbs would be a 30lbs dumbbell in each hand).

Alternatives: use a lesser weight or just bodyweight squats with hands in overhead position, or to make it tougher use more weight!

Work-Out 2

3 Rounds for time of:

¼ mile run

Alternatives: If you can’t run; then just walk. If a ¼ mile is too far, lessen the distance, but write it down so you can compare this work out to future ones

Dumbbell swing x15 reps (25 lbs recommended): swing dumbbell in one fluid action from starting position to overhead

Alternatives: use more or less weight depending on your strength level

Push-ups x15 reps

Alternatives: previously listed push-up alternatives (modified, incline, wall pushes, etc)

Work-Out 3

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:

Bike 400 meters (quarter mile)

15 Push-ups

Alternatives: push-up alternatives. If you go to hard you may fatigue before the 15 minutes. However, this is designed to push as hard as you can if you need to take a breather between rounds, do so, but keep it as short as possible. Work hard, go at your own pace!
