Coach's Notes. Standard start times of 0545, 0630,1030. Warm up prior and be ready to 3, 2, 1...Go!

WOD: Stress movements require the focus of body and mind.  How long can you hold a certain position? What is the quality of that position?  We will execute 3x Tabatas back-to-back-to-back in order to stress the core while maintaining perfect posture.  A Tabata is 20 seconds of work (holding the position) and 10 seconds of rest (relax) for 8 rounds.  The penalty for breaking your position during the work portion is 10 Supermans to be conducted at the end of the last Tabata.
  • High Plank: Starting position of the Army push up.  Elbows locked out and back straight.
  • Hanging Leg Raise:  Arms/legs extended in pike position.  If you cant maintain the pike, substitute knee raises and assess yourself a penalty.
  • Low Plank: Same as the Army Push up position except on your forearms and elbows.
  • Superman: Lay on your belly and arch your back so arms and legs are off the ground.
Skill: Execute the HUG Hip Mobility Drills from last week and warm up those legs for 5x1 Back Squats.  Remember the points of performance for the Air Squat and apply liberally!
