Monday Momentum 5.8.23

LoW,

Wake up and go outside immediately for a 10 minute walk. Then, try out this 3-part workout. It can be completed in 30-40 minutes total and DOES NOT necessarily have to be completed in one block. You could spread the 3 sessions over the course of a day which it what I often do.

Don't have time? Make time.

Enjoy and Be Wild

Mobility Flow

This flow is meant to be done 2x through, for 1 minute each exercise.

3. Samson’s

Wildness of the Day - WOD

The Wildness of the Day today is a 12-15 minute circuit.  Let's get it done ✅ 

10 Squats (If needed, pocket monkii is a great assistant)

10 Rows

10 Pushup/Press (10 reps chest to deck, or modified variations, such as pocket monkii Presses)

10 Situps (10 reps either locking down your feet, or traditional sit-ups.)

The idea is to keep moving for 12-15 minutes with minimal breaks. Find a pace that you can maintain the entire time, but avoid "redlining" anytime during the workout.

 

Flexibility Sesh

Hold each stretch for 1-minute each

1. Gorge of Despair

Legs on the wall, big open V for 1-minute. 

2. Weighted Pumpkin

Using a kettle bell or weight, sink into a squat, and marinate in the bottom position for 1-minute.

 3. Chest Stretch

(Using pocket monkii) Slowly ease into a point of mild tension, stretch for 1-minute 

4. KOT Lunge Hold R/L

Knees Over Toes Lunge Hold, working on ankle and knee flexibility.
