Team! Happy Monday!!! This is one of my favs that scares the crap out of you when you see it on the whiteboard and then at the end you realize what a superhero you are! Mindfulness in the moment and strategic pacing of repetitions and movements are the objectives for today. There are modifications for every fitness level! No excuses. Game on! -Carla
This workout is a modification of a classic CrossFit workout called “Filthy Fifty”. It’s a “chipper” designed to get in your head the second you look at it on the whiteboard. This is not only a physical challenge but a mental one as well!
TIPS: Know that this workout will take under 30 min. You can do anything for under 30 min. Take each movement one at a time and stay focused on the movement you are on – NOT on the fact that you have 7 movements to go! Take short breaks as needed, but move efficiently. Use less intense movements as an opportunity to recover and regroup.
Good luck!
