Evolve: Hawaii Workout #2


WOD #2

It must be the swimming and warm weather, but I was sore for a couple days proceeding Sunday's workout... Ha!

Set your timer for 10 minutes and perform as many rounds as possible (AMRAP) of the following:
  • Mountain Climbers x10 reps
  • 1 min. of forward and backward shuttle run (approx. 20 yards)
  • Medicine ball chops x 5 each side
Repeat!


Explanations of movements:


  1. Mountain Climber: Start in the push-up position, drive your right knee up to your belly button. Keep your toes pointing forward. Drive your right leg back to plank, simultaneously driving your left knee up to your belly button. Repeat!
  2. Medicine Ball Chop: Pick up the medicine ball. Position your feet so they are slighting outside your shoulders and your toes angled outwards. Bend your knees slightly. With the ball at hip level and arms slightly bent, rotate your torso to the right. As you do this, pivot on your toes so that they stay in line with the medicine ball. Move the ball diagonally across your body above your opposite shoulder. Repeat!
  3. Forward shuttle: Run forwards leading with your hips
  4. Backward shuttle: Run backwards, staying light on your toes.
