Workout for Friday, April 23

Perform the following on the minute, each minute for 15 minutes:

5--DB Thrusters
5--Burpees

These will be plenty hard with just body weight thrusters if you don't have any dumbbells. The goal is to finish the "work" during the first 30-35 seconds, resting the last half of the minute. I did this at the gym with 15# DBs and it was really tough, especially since my body was pretty sore from the previous 2 days of working out. If you choose to use no weight, be sure to "mimic" the movement your hands/arms would make during the thrusters.

Workout for Sunday, April 18

Tabata--

Use a treadmill, set at 12% grade at 0-30 sec slower pace per mile than best 5k pace. Do not reduce the speed!

Remember, a tabata is 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest, for 8 intervals. 4 minutes total.

This workout is from CrossFit Endurance.

If you do not have a treadmill, run from home. I suggest you run the first 4 intervals away from home, as fast and as far as possible. STOP in place when you have your 10 seconds rest. Run back home for the last 4 intervals. This will give you a good indication if you were able to hold your speed for the entire 4 minutes.
