Learning to Communicate through Play

We hit another team-based workout in Tuesday’s Bootcamp, and didn’t allow more than one person to work on a movement at any given time. To make things more interesting, one person also had to be jumping rope at all times until the work was completed. It was a little rough for the teams to communicate in the beginning of the workout, but after a while they hit their groove and kept things flowing pretty well. Nice work, y’all!

WOD 1
In teams of 4:

  • 150 Ring Row
  • 100 Box Jump
  • 75 Dumbbell Thruster
  • 50 Burpees

1 person on a station at a time. 1 person must be jumping rope at all times.

WOD 2
As many rounds as possible in 8 minutes of:

  • 5 Knees to Chest
  • 10 Box Dips
  • 15 Squats

Tabata!

When the Tabata rolls around, it’s a great reminder that the workout doesn’t need to be a long one to leave you feeling wiped out. Something as simple as 20 seconds of work at an all out effort can leave you really gassed when repeated 8 times.

WOD 1
For total reps:

  • Tabata Wall Ball
  • Tabata Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift High Pull
  • Tabata Ring Row

20 sec work, 10 sec rest for 8 sets. Complete all 8 sets of one exercise before moving on to the next. Rest 1 minute between stations.

WOD 2
5, 6, or 7 rounds for time:

  • 10 Situp & Press
  • 10 Ball Slam
  • 15 Box Jump
