Work out group, about 5 of us showed up. So, we did the fun thing and took weights out to the Field house.

Warm up

Standard fare — skips, lunges, carioca and so on.

Mobility

Standard fare — walking lunges and quad stretchs and so on.

Work Out (Yippie!)

3 reps, either, snatch, thruster, or push press, put the weight down sprint to mid-court and coast to the baseline, walk back, lather, rinse repeat. We did 4 rounds. 135#

Get the weight overhead safely, walk to half-court, put the weight down, pick it up overhead, walk backward to the service line, put it down, pick it up walk forward to the opposite service line, put it down, pick it up, walk backwards to the half court, and so on. That was a challenge! With the plates, and bars we had I ended up with about 139#, I was talking to myself pretty seriously at the other service line.

Waiters lunges, I used the 45# db, length of the tennis court, so half in one hand then switch at mid-court. Did a round trip as well.

Farmers Walk, we have a couple of 2 inch bars, and so we loaded them with 25# plates for a total of 75#, these are about 5 feet long, one in each hand (balance really matters) and started walking. The next person started where the last left off. Just kept going for about 10 minutes. “W” really schooled me on this one. The big bars make a huge difference.

Metabolic Jumble

45 seconds of work, 30 seconds of rest, the work is just a bunch of calisthenics, burpees, push ups, jumping jacks, jump tucks, mountain climbers and so on. I think we did 4 rounds.

I love these kinds of workouts.
