“Ladder” for legs  & core

* Ladder means do one rep, rest, two reps, rest, etc., until you reach muscle failure, and then go back down. If you aren’t sure, stop at 6, and then go back down the ladder. (5, rest, 4,rest, 3, etc.). Then do the next exercise.

  • Alternating (L/R) back lunges
  • Alternating 1-Legged dead-lifts (touch right fingers to left toe, while raising right leg behind you)
  • Squats
  • “Swimmer” (you might know this one from Pilates)

50 Fit Workout 18-SEP-14

A mere 10 days from now, I will attend an advanced CrossFit Coaching Course. Even though I’m not as fit and trim as I want to be – strike that, WILL BE next year (i’ve been torturing myself with constant criticism, but I digress). From now until then, as an experiment, I will post some Workout programming. Please play along at home, give me feedback and help me improve. These are “on-ramp” workouts, not “fire-breathers” so don’t freak out. I’m including a “stupid small” starter to get you into the flow.

3 rounds for time:

10 burpees
20 squats
30 sit-ups

Post time to comments.

“Stupid small starter”: I can Just Do One and Declare Victory.

1 burpee, 1 squat, and 1 sit-up.
