today's workout is a simple one and can easily be duplicated at home w/ minimal equipment. while a pull-up bar is not a standard amenity (yet) in every home, there are now ways to set one up in your house - without having to use any power tools (a key for me)! you might have seen the adds for the "Perfect Push-Up"; well they also make the "Perfect Pull-Up" which is a bar that anchors over any sturdy door to give you ample opportunity to increase your pull-up capacity. If the price tag feels too steep ($90), look for one of the knock-offs available for $29.99. moving on...
WO:
Walking Lunge - 100ft
Pull-Ups
Sit-Ups
- this is repeated for 7 sets. Each set you do the 100ft of WL, but the pull-ups & sit-ups start at 21 reps each and decrease by 3 reps each set (finish w/ 6 reps of each). I would recommend this to anyone to try and see how you do. If you are not able to do all the pull-ups, use the assisted PU machine, bar hangs or dumbbell rows.
I was still worn out from doing DeadLifts the day before (my new favorite challenge, DL's are a super-important overall strength builder!) and those lunges were painful. I dragged my way to finish in 16:27.
