A Sunday WOD

A slightly modified version of a workout Lisa brought home from her Gym. One round of

  • 50 x Pushups
  • 50 x Split Squats Left Leg (rear foot on floor)
  • 50 x Split Squats Right Leg
  • 50 x Air Squats
  • 50 x Shoulder Taps

  • 50 x Squat Jumps
  • 50 x Lateral Bound

  • 50 x Lateral Lunge
  • 50 x Situps (was Bicycles)
  • 50 x Mountain Climbers (R+L = 1)
  • 50 second Plank

Results: I didn’t time it, just worked my way through each exercise. For shoulder taps and lunges I did R + L = 2 reps, Lisa did R + L = 1 rep. Takes a long time to work through it all so up to you how long you want to spend. Either way it a good high volume workout.
