05/26/2020 COVID-19 WOD
Hoping everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend and enjoyed some extra rest during the three day weekend. I was able to get out to the woods and get away for a bit which was an amazing way to actively rest and stay in the habit of moving my body.
Anyway, we get back going with live workouts this week. In the future, I’ll be linking the movements for each of these exercises so that you can do them on your own time at home. This week will likely be the last week that we have organized instructor lead workouts but I will still be here to support you and provide workouts for you to do that are softball specific.
If you have any questions, feel free to fill out the contact form!
Today’s workout will involve a good amount of jumping and will close out with a quick 4 rounds of a group paced circuit. Don’t be afraid to push yourself, this is where we become champions!
What you’ll need for today’s workout:
Gym shoes
Water
A chair or box-like object that you can elevate your body on
A solid wall to lean on
SPACE and a medicine ball for your extras!
How to read my programs:
Start with the warm up! All movements can be found on my Youtube channel.
Superset #1 is next! You’ll go do the three exercises in a row and following the order on the program until you have completed all rounds. Quick Hydration!
Complete Superset #2 as you completed the first superset - completing three rounds of rotating through all the movements. Quick Hydration!
CIRCUIT. Today we’re pushing ourselves to completing 4 rounds of :30s on and :05s rest. Take about a minute rest between rounds but knock each round out quickly!
Extras. The medicine ball toss is a great way to enrich your lateral explosive strength. If you don’t have a medicine ball, go out to a park or a local area where you don’t mind messing up the ground potentially messing up the ground covering. Take a heavy (~8-10lbs) rock, bag of sand, gallon jug of something, etc. and toss laterally as if you were to take a swing during an at bat. Here we are going to start with our hands low and in a sling position rather than held up as if you were holding a bat. For the cardio portion of this workout, this means that you can do any cardio of your liking. You can do yoga, run, jog, walk, do sprints, elliptical, learn a new dance on TikTok, etc. Just move your body for 10mins and you should be golden. Obviously we want to keep our heart rate high the whole time so the more you are breathing heavy, the better! Good luck 💪
As a reminder, these sessions are open to ALL! So please invite friends and folks in your softball network. I am working hard by creating these programs and am only asking that you spread the word so that workouts remain a free service that I am providing. Thanks for understanding and supporting my business 🤗
If you missed this LIVE workout, sign up today to get into next week’s sessions on Tuesday and Thursdays starting at 5:30pm PST.
