Workout of the Day

"The Zohan Special"

For Reps

15:00 EMOM

minute 1: Double Unders

minute 2: Kipping Knees to Chest

minute 3: Calorie Bike

minute 4: Dumbbell Push Press

minute 5: Rest

Dumbbells: 12.5/7.5kg

Stimulus and Objectives:

Goal: 85-140 Reps / Set

This workout is looking for max reps at each station with the focus on capacity and movement efficiency. We are allowing any bike today for the max calories with a note that of course certain bikes will accumulate more calories than other.

Stimulus: Muscular Endurance and Stamina / Midline Emphasis

RPE: 7-8/10

*The goal here is not to max out, but to work on sustainable reps within the time frame, with the work to rest ratio staying at 4:1. This will put us up to threshold capacity and test our muscular endurance and stamina.

Primary Objective: Max Total Calories

Secondary Objective: Consistent across with an extra emphasis on the 3rd round here to push the level a bit.
