Back from vacation… went for a short 4k run yesterday, now some basic strength building to get into the swing of things again.

Every 30 seconds for 20 minutes move through each of the following stations (30 seconds per station, 10 rounds per station)

  • Station 1:  4 x Strict Pullups
  • Station 2: 8 x Pushups
  • Station 3: 12 x Situps
  • Station 4: 16 x Air Squats

Then 2 rounds (inspired by Fit2Day)

  • 50 x Double Unders
  • 10 x Kneel-Stand with 30lbs Sandbag on shoulder, switch shoulder per rep (down/up-left+ down/up-right is one rep)
  • 10 x Russian Twist (left+right is one rep)

Results:  Not one of the more exciting workouts but a good start.  Double unders went better than I thought they would after such a long break, first round missed at 34 reps, second round unbroken.
