Description: Sept 16: Beat My Time Challenge - Gym & Home

Follow the warm up first. 

Tri-Set A is a timed challenge, to be completed in circuit format, for 5 rounds. 

Since it’s a timed challenge, take as little rest as possible between exercises and rounds. 

Even though this is a timed challenge, reps should only be counted when they are completed with proper form and full range of motion. 

Don’t count any partial or sloppy reps. 

Post your time in the community section of the app. 

Once you complete the Tri-Set A timed challenge, complete the 6 exercises in Circuit B as a regular circuit, with 15 second rest between exercises, and 90 second rest after the circuit.

After the workout move onto the cool down.

Follow these moves for the sets and reps indicated before your workout.

Tempo: as fast as you can with good form

1. Get into a push up position with your hands directly below your shoulders and your legs straight behind you.
2. Keep your abs contracted and back flat while quickly driving one knee toward your opposite elbow, then reverse it back to the starting position. 
3. Repeat but this time drive your other knee to your opposite elbow.  
4. Alternate back and forth as fast as you can maintaining good form.
5. Repeat for reps.

Tempo: 10X1
1. Stand in front of a box with both feet firmly planted into the ground.
2. Raise your arms up, swing them back while pushing your hips back, then explode up by extending fully at the hips while swinging your arms back up.
3. It’s important to land softly with both feet on the box and stick the landing in a squat position, chest up, eyes forward, with your abs contracted.
4. Step off the box onto a shorter box rather than jumping directly down to the floor to minimize strain on the knees.
5. Repeat.

Box Jumps

1. Hold the ends of the jump rope in each hand.
2. With your feet hip-width apart, slightly bend your knees, and push the balls of your feet through the ground to jump up, point your toes to the ground, and with your hands by your waist, quickly rotate your wrists to make small circles to revolve the rope around your body.
3. Land softly on your toes, and quickly push off again from the balls of your feet. The idea is to jump over the rope as quickly as possible with a slight hop. Don’t think of jumping as high as you can, think about bouncing on the balls of your feet.
4. To make it harder, do double unders. This is when the rope revolves under your feet twice within one jump. Once again, the idea is not to just jump higher, the speed comes from the quick rotation of your wrists.

Speed Jump Rope

Tempo: 10X0

1. While standing, take a shoulder width stance with your arms down by your sides.
2. Bend at your hips, then your knees, as you lower your body towards the floor in a squatting motion, while placing your hands on the floor, directly under your shoulders, and outside of your knees.
3. Jump back with both feet to get into a standard push up position with your arms extended then immediately complete the push up by bending your elbows and lowering your body until it’s a few inches off the floor, then press your hands through the floor to raise back to the top of the push up.
4. Jump both feet back in and immediately jump straight into the air with your arms over your head. 
5. Land softly, then immediately complete another jump burpee push up.
6. Repeat for reps.

Jump Burpee Push Up

Timed Challenge: Tri-Set A

Complete the 6 exercises in Circuit B as a regular circuit, with 15 second rest between exercises, and 90 second rest after the circuit.

Tempo: X0X0
1. With a shoulder width stance begin the squat by first bending at the hips by descending back and down until your hips drop below your knees while keeping the natural arch in your back.
2. The entire bottom of your foot, especially your heels, should remain in contact with the floor at all times with your knees in line with your toes.
3. Now press your feet through the ground to rise back up, fully extending your knees and hips and contracting your glutes at the top of the air squat.
4. Repeat.

Air Squats

Tempo: 2010
1. Get down on the floor on your hands and knees with a step or bench behind you.
2. Place both feet up on the step while positioning your hands on the floor, slightly wider than shoulder width.
3. Keep your core contracted to ensure your body stays in a straight line from your heels to your head. If your hips sag during the move, stop immediately to prevent injury to your lower back.
4. Under control, lower your body by bending your elbows until your chest comes close to touching the floor.
5. Press your hands through the floor to push your body back to the starting position and repeat.

Decline Push Up

Tempo: 2010

1. Elevate the back foot off the ground with your front front firmly planted into the floor with your ankle below your knee.
2. Keep your chest up so your upper body remains perpendicular to the ground throughout the movement. 
3. Lower your back knee until it’s 1-2 inches above the ground or until your front thigh comes close to parallel to the ground.
4. Then press your feet through the ground to get back to the starting position. 
5. Repeat all the reps on one side, then switch legs and repeat.

4. That’s one rep.

Spiderman Push Up (reps/side)

4. Continue alternating reps back and forth.

Step Over To Duck Under (reps/side)

Tempo: 3030
1. Stand with your feet hip width apart and bend at the waist to place your hands on the floor. If you can’t keep your legs straight, bend them so you can reach the floor with your hands.

3. Once you get into a plank position, hold for a moment, then walk your hands back towards your feet. 
4. Repeat.

Hand Walkout

Circuit B

Follow these moves for the sets and reps indicated after your workout.

1. Bring one knee forward and place your ankle in front of the opposite hip. The closer your knee is bent at a 90 degree angle, the more intense the stretch. Bring your heel closer towards your body if you’re not as mobile.
2. Extend your opposite extended leg back behind your body with your toes pointed and your heel pointing straight up.
3. Try to pull your legs into each other to keep your hips square and the glute of your bent leg touching the floor.
4. Lower your upper body down to your hands, elbows, or all the way to the floor, depending on your mobility.

1. Sit down on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
