3 Box Step Ups >>> Progress to Jumps (Or SUB)

3 Single Arm Kettlebell Cleans (Or SUB)

3 V-Ups (Or SUB)

10 seconds on the Bike (Or SUB)

Focus Points:

-Think about using a step down from the box jump to keep the heart rate more consistent and lower the risk for injury when coming down.

-Be sure to watch the Kettlebell Clean Video to help with efficiency in the movement. Having the KB crash on your forearm isn't too fun.

-V-Ups are a challenging movement but today is a great time to practice the V-Up with the volume only being 7 reps per round.

-Push the pace on the bike but not to the point where you need an extended rest before heading into the box jumps.

Goal:

-Aim to perform each round at an average time of 2:00-3:00 minutes.

-Face sideways and step the outer leg into the band until it is at knee height (Above or Below).

-While holding a set of dumbbells, keep the torso tall and perform a reverse lunge while maintaining your knee in alignment with your toes.

-Perform until you've reached the designated reps and then switch to perform the same thing on the opposite side.

Calf Raises

-Your heel should start on the floor.

-Slowly press through the balls of your feet until your completely extended at the ankle.

-Hold this top position for 1-2seconds before returning your heels back down to the floor.

Goblet Cyclist Squat

-Begin with heel elevated on a plate and a weight at the chest goblet style.
