Description: W4/D4 Taper: Aerobic Base

Today we're doing a 45min aerobic effort at RPE 2-3. Keep in mind that RPE 2-3 is at a conversational pace. This lower intensity effort will help develop the aerobic foundation that will help us  drive us through both Murph and active recovery. 

Overview:
Dynamic Warm Up
Aerobic Work
Cool Down

Alternate Sides
3x on each side = 1 Round

1. Start tall reaching overhead. 
2. Spine curl down reaching for the toes, allowing the knees to bend only as needed to make contact.
3. Walk hand over hand into push up position.
4. Take a high step to the outside of one hand. 
5. Reach that same hand toward the  ceiling and take a rotation. 
6. Breathe here now.

High Reach to WGS

1. Starting from the high step and WGS, return both hands to the floor and center your weight evenly between both feet.
2. Slowly lift both hands off the floor, keeping the rest of the body as low to the floor as you can (in a split squat) 
3. Reach overhead. 
4. Breath

WGS to Iso long Lunge

1. Return both hands to floor maintaining one foot in the high step
2. Drop into a modified push up to the floor, or as low as your flexability allows
3. You may use the foot to help raise out of the push up, or float it to make this movement more challenging

WGS to Spiderman Push Up

1. From a front plank, begin walking the hands back towards the feet.
2. Slowly stand.

Inchworm Walkback
