Warmups are intended to slowly warm your body up so that you're ready for training. Use this time to wake up your body, check-in with how you're feeling, physically and mentally, and prepare for the training session. Never rush through the warmup. If you're short on time, you're better off removing a movement or round than speeding through it as fast as possible. The warmup sets the tone for your training session, use it to your advantage! Spend ~5-10 min performing your choice of easy aerobic conditioning to elevate your heart rate (HR) (e.g. calisthenics, row, jog, airdyne, etc.), then perform 2-3 rounds: 10 Air squats @ 3010 (add a mini band above the knees if you have them) 10 Alternating lunges, total 2x Four square drill (may jump onto something to increase the difficulty) 5 Yoga push-ups with toe touches 3 Spiderman lunges with t-spine rotation (click the Tips button for videos and exercise explanations)

5 x 1 Mini Leg Blaster Complex, rest 30 sec - 1 min 1 mini leg blaster = 10x Air Squats 5x Lunges each leg, alternating 5x Jumping Lunges each leg, alternating 5x Jump Squats Rest 30 sec - 1 min Perform as quickly as possible, one exercise immediately after the other! Rest at the end of each set. Feel the BURN! We'll integrate these throughout the program in various complexes. If you've done these before, today is just a reminder on how to perform them. If you've never done these before, welcome to the burn! After you complete 5 sets, rest 2-5 min and then perform the Work Capacity #2

For 10 min, perform the following movements at the top of each minute. This is referred to as an Every Minute on the Minute (EMOM) workout. Once you're done with performing the movements, rest the remainder of the minute. Your goal is to get roughly 30-40 sec of work and 20-30 sec of rest. Adjust the reps as needed by adding or subtracting a rep to/from each movement to get the desired work to rest ratio. 10 min EMOM of: * 10 Skaters, total - reach lower toward the ground to make these more difficult * 10 KB swings or 5 burpees or 7 squat thrusts Note: squat thrusts are a great option if you don't have stellar push-ups while under fatigue. They're just a burpee w/o the push-up. Choose the movement that makes the most sense for you.

2-3x: 10 McGill curl-up (switch legs after 5 reps) 15-sec side plank per side 10 Bird Dog 6 Leg Cradle Lunge Twist w/ Drunk Step (3 per side) 6 High Knee Squat w/ Swinging Gate Note: the McGill curl-up is a VERY small movement. Don't try to make it bigger than it is! The first three core movements are activation drills.

Perform the following conditioning circuit for 4 rounds or 25 min, all while nasal breathing! No rest between rounds. This should be a sustainable pace for the entire time. 300m run 6 Sandbag get-ups (3 per side)* 5 Push-ups to down dog (video is yoga push-up) - each rep is 1 push-up + 1 down dog 16 Weighted (DB) walking lunges (8 per side) If you don't have a sandbag, either swap out for a regular Turkish Get-Up or load up a back backpack or duffel bag Perfect push-ups every rep! If your push-ups suck, lower yourself under control in a plank position and then drop to your knees for the concentric portion of the movement.
