Seven RFT:
7 Push Press, 95/65 lb
7 Plank Triangle Jumps (In plank position, jump both feet together up to beside the right hand, back to original plank position, then up next to left hand, then back out. All that = 1 rep)
7 Pike Crunch (Lying on back with arms overhead, raise arms and legs up to center so you can touch your toes.)
7 Ab Twists (In crab crawl position, twist body by extending one arm out straight laterally, and opposite leg in opposite direction, straight laterally. L+R=1)
— [the men did 7 one-arm kettlebell switches for each arm instead of the ab twists]
7 Pike (Handstand) Push-Up
Bear crawl – forward then backward 2 times half the width of basketball court
Skip and Reach (while skipping, reach toward ceiling with hand opposite the knee that is coming up) – circumference of one half of basketball court
I think I realised how inflexible I really am today, especially on the bear crawls and pike crunches. if I did it again I don’t think I would do bear crawls right after the ab twists because my wrists were starting to feel the pressure. I like the skip and reach:)
Row 2000m: 7:18 (PR)
Great time Mr Hilliker!!
I did this on Monday and got 7:35
WOW!
This was an interesting workout! I will agree with Maree – the bear crawls were the hardest 🙁
This was more taxing on the body than I thought it would be.
33:20 for this work out – will need to speed up! (maybe some music will help 🙂 )
Nearly finished in 30 mins, had half a round left. Gotta say, I didn’t like this one but I did leave with a sense of accomplishment. The movements themselves weren’t that bad, but put them all together and it was a doozy. I did like the pike push-ups though.
I didn’t quite finish but I didn’t really mind this workout at all. It wasn’t just a lot of one or two exercizes! It was a lot of a lot of different exercizes 😉
Still trying to catch my breath weeks later from this workout. These long endurance workouts really challenge my stamina and my drive so I enjoy the challenge. Mentally these are tough because it is so hard to keep telling yourself that you will never finish because it takes forever!
