Workout Overview

Stimulus

During Open weeks we offer two options for today Goat Day or an optional EMOM.  The lesson plan today will be written for the Optional EMOM, but you can still utilize the general warm up if you choose to do Goat Day.  Goat days are programmed the Thursdays before the Open announcement. This is a chance for you to pick two of your weaker movements you'd like to work on in an EMOM format.  (Example: min 1: 30 Double Unders, min 2: 8 Toes to Bar). 

Today's workout is a chance to get in some quality movement, breathe, and sweat a little. Work at a moderate pace, around RPE 5-6. Alternate between sit-ups and squats every round (5x each). Choose variations for the bodyweight movements that take about 1:00, giving you equal time on the bike.

Scoring

Score: Bike Calories

Movements

Target Score: 120-250 Calories 

Stimulus: Lactate Threshold [RPE 6-7]

Bodyweight reps:  Choose variations/reps that take about 1:00 to complete.  Look for full range of motion in both movements here. 

Bike: Should have 1:00 to complete calories. 

The One | Teaching Focus

Range of Motion: 

Cue athletes to touch their shoulder blades to the ground and to have their shoulders pass through their hips each rip.
Look for athletes to send their hips back and down below the knee crease in the air squats.

Look For

  • Bodyweight Reps:  Look for full range of motion in these reps today.  The hips should break parallel on the air squats, and our shoulders should pass the hips at the top of the sit up. 
  • Bike:  There is no rest between rounds, so encourage people to bike as hard as they can while being able to get right into the next round.
