DNA Homework & Travel Workouts
The following workouts are homework to do while traveling. These will be challenging workouts, enough to keep you in shape and even make progress with minimal equipment. They are generally kept short and simple, though you should keep the intensity high! As always, proper technique is most important.
Post results to the comments below.
1. Training day 10 rounds, as fast as humanly possible, of: 5 push-ups 10 sit-ups 15 squats
2. Active recovery (optional) Take a LEISURELY jog. If you have: less than 1 month of training (noob?) = 10 minutes total run time 2 months in = 1.5-mile jog 3+ months = 5K (3.1 miles)
3. Training 100 burpees FOR TIME, 10-minute cutoff. DO IT! FAST!
4. Active recovery (optional) Go for a hike, or hike downtown and explore — go on an adventure.
5. Training Find a park with a jungle gym or playground. As many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of: 3 pull-ups (substitute 6 jumping pull-ups) 6 push-ups 9 squats
6. Active recovery Go swimming, or do as many rounds as possible in 5 minutes of: 100 flutter kicks 100 reverse flutters (belly down)
7. Training As many walking lunges as possible in 10 minutes; every minute on the minute, do 3 burpees!
8. Active recovery, 10 minutes Practice handstands, wall walks and/or cartwheels.
9. Training Complete as fast as possible, in order: 50 push-ups 100 air squats
10. Active recovery As many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of: 30 jumping jacks 20 sit-ups 10 burpees
There you have it! Do these on days you would normally train (if possible). If you finish any one of these thinking it was too easy, then you didn't push yourself hard enough (no slop)!
Cheers! Dave
