Workout of the Day 03/23/10

Row x 2000 m (resistance 6)----------max burpees

Bike x 2.5 miles (med. tension)-------max box jumps (24 inch box)

Run x 1 mile-----------------------------max DB thrusters (20 lb. d.b.'s)

At each station you have 12 min. to complete the cardio aspect and as many reps of the complimentary exercise as possible. For example, if it takes you 8 min. to row 2000 m then you have 4 min. to complete as many burpees as you can. The number of repetitions of the complimentary exercise become your score. So if you completed 30 burpees then you get 30 points. There is a 2 min. rest between stations. At the end add up your total points from the three different stations and post your results to comments.

Squat Like A Champ

How low do you go? I have had this discussion many times with people regarding the squat. The truth is that many people do not go low enough. Their biggest reason for doing so, they believe it puts too much stress on their knees. This is a common misconception. People stopping their squats short are actually putting more stress on their knees. Don't believe me? Read this great article by fitness expert Alwyn Cosgrove, read, where he debunks many leg training myths. When you are done reading come see us at Focus Fitness and learn to squat like a champ.
