You can get in some great workouts without any equipment at all!
For Home Training or the Gym…
WORKOUT #1: DESCENDING LADDERS
For Time:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
90º Reverse Crunch (decline to increase intensity)
*100m Run OR 20yd Bear or Quadruped Crawl between sets
THEN…
Rest 3-5mins
THEN…
For Time:
50sec-45sec-40sec-35sec-30sec-25sec-20sec-15sec-10sec-5sec
Tuck Hold (for descending time instead of reps; add load to increase intensity)
*100m Run OR 20yd Crab Walk between sets
NOTES:
To execute this workout, start with 10 reverse crunches. After you’re done, run, or walk/run for 100m OR bear crawl for 20yds. You’ll go back to the reverse crunch for 9 reps, then go off on foot for another 100m or bear crawl.
Keep working back and forth between the descending reps on the reverse crunch and 100m on the run/walk or 20yd bear crawl.
When you’re finished, rest for 3-5 minutes, then move on to another similar pairing of tuck hold and 100m run or 20yd crab walk!
