No place I rather be

The Gods favour you, Maximus…

So what could be better suited for a morning session than the most divine place in the world?

10.30 am – Beach WoD

A. 3 * 3 Free Strict Inverted Burpee into Forward Roll
(Sit up – Frog Stand – Head Stand – Hand Stand – Forward Roll into next rep).

B. 4 Rounds for Time:

• 20m “2-for-1 Cheetah Sprints”*
• 20 Jumping Jacks
• 20 Split Jumps (10 Borzovs).

Time: 5’29 min

C. Yogaman’s routine + Meditiation, approx 20 min.

Really need to get a camera so I can share the joy of my gymnastic project. Fell over from the hand stand more than I actually lowered down, but for the last round I actually managed to get the first two reps pretty strict. Goal is to hold each position for 5 sec with three consecutive reps in each three rounds!

“Cheetah Sprints”? Well, don’t know what to call it. Martin posted a really cool video some time ago with a guy doing awsome beach excercises. One that really caught my eye was his animal like sprint where basically only the hands OR the feet touch the sand at one time. So, without ever trying them before I set out for the first round, hmm maybe wouldn’t call my version sprints. I am clearly not coordinated enough cause everytime I got on to the feet my movement kind of lost the forward motion, so I just did like “hands to feet to broad jump to hands”, which proved to be quite taxing anyway.
Don’t even remember when I did jumping jacks the last time, new excercises every week you know. Quads and glutes got tight pretty fast and in the end Poseidon clearly thought I needed to cool down and send the tidal up to leave my entire last round in the ankle high freezing Atlantic Ocean, awsome!

After a short breather I went up to my favourite cliff and finished it all off with some yoga stretching and following the pattern, the gods also sent me a cape fur seal to keep me company playing in the waves below.

Deadlifts and Ring HSPU’s later and I know I’m repeating my self, but with this start off the day, how could it go anything but really well?

Namaste!
