Workout Overview

Stimulus

This workout is a mix of core strength, conditioning, and lower body endurance. The AbMat sit-ups will target your midline, while the shuttle runs will keep your heart rate elevated. The walking lunges will challenge your legs and stamina. Focus on maintaining a steady pace through the sit-ups, keeping your shuttle runs quick, and staying strong and controlled during the lunges. Efficient transitions between movements will help you push through all three rounds!

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Knees Over Toes in Walking Lunges

Today’s focus is on allowing the knees to travel over the toes during walking lunges. Embracing this natural movement enhances lower body strength, improves mobility, and mirrors real-life motions like climbing stairs or walking uphill. Letting the knee go over the toe engages the quadriceps and ankles more effectively, promoting better functional fitness and joint health when performed with proper form.

Look For:

  • Sit Ups | Full range of motion, athletes should touch the shoulder blades to the ground, and shoulders cross the hips at the top. 
  • Shuttle Runs | Speed on the run around.  Athletes need to be efficient with their turns, and try to come out quick each time. 
  • Walking Lunge | Lockout at the top of each rep.  With athletes walking forward, they should not try and cut the lockout at the top of each rep.
