Body Weight Workouts - Series 2, Week 1, Day 7

WORK:
3 Rounds, 10 Reps of:
Sweat Angels, Suspension Trainer
Suspension Push-Ups (as per ring push-ups)
Overhead Triceps Extension, Suspension Trainer

"Sweat Angel" - using a suspension trainer (TRX, etc), hold yourself at an outward angle, where your feet are behind your shoulders. With your arms fully extended above you (and holding onto the ST), slowly bring your arms around and down to your waist in a motion similar to that of making a SNOW ANGEL (hence the name). Be aware this exercise takes a tremendous amount of upper body strength and you may need to rock back on your heels a bit to get the reps completed at first.

INTENSITY:
Tabata
32 Intervals, 20s On, 10s Off
Squats

Post total reps to comments.

This is especially important if you weren't able to do them in yesterday's workout!

Gasser - Set up a 50m straight range with no obstacles or incline. Starting on one end of the 50m range, an athlete will sprint across the field to the opposite side, turn and sprint back to the start point, plant and sprint to the far side, plant and sprint back to the original start point. 1 full gasser will constitute four trips side to side for a total of 200 meters.
