💧💧I don't think i've ever sweat this much in my life! Loved it! Took a bit of improvising. My gym doesn't have all the machines. But the Facebook Community really helped me out! Thanks a lot all! 🙏🏻

Thought this was going to be an "easy day." I was soooo wrong.

Okay this is a fun one. Get used to more cardio to burn more calories, get to a more comfortable weight + feel in your body.

5 min of each exercise with 1 min rest in between exercise. 

RPE: 6 meaning you’re at a 6/10 effort. Aiming to keep heart rate below 150 bpm.

Feel free to swap this for an incline hike.

GOAL
Death. Jk…power, fat burning cardio + you may or may not see the light #Ouch

DETAILS
1. Grab the handles of the ski erg and set resistance dial between 7-10. 
2. Start your stokes by using your hips and legs to drive the power. 
3. First position squat position, get on toes, tall reach.  
4. Second, drive down into a squat with a follow from your arms. 
5. Focus on using the hips. 
6. Drive up, throw your hips back and down and follow with arms. 

Swap for row erg, air dyne or sprints if your gym doesn’t have this. 

CUES
- Breathe
- Strong Core
- Tip Toes 
- Leg Drive

Ski Erg

GOAL
Cardio with retraction and leg drive. Welp, meet the Erg. 

DETAILS
1. Adjust the footpads to your foot size and adjust the damper depending on distance/desired resistance. The higher the number, the higher the resistance, thus the more meters rowed in a stroke.
2. Starting position, aka the catch has arms straight, upper body is leaning forward with shoulders in front of hips, shins are vertical and heels are raised as needed.
3. The drive - start by pressing with your legs. Once your shoulder pass your hips, arm row can finally be added.
4. The finish - Once knees are extended, upper body is leaning back slightly, and then you pull with your arms. 
5. Shoulders remain low and relaxed.
6. Extend your arms fully BEFORE leaning forward at the hips and breaking at the knees.
Pro-Tip: Timing is everything. Don't pull with the arms early on the drive. 

CUES
- Drive with Legs
- Back Neutral
- Extend Legs
- Pull to Belly Button
- Release Arms

Row Ergometer

GOAL
Calorie burner
 
DETAILS 
1. Push and pull with your shoulder blades. 
2. Brace your abs and push max effort.

CUES
- Welcome Death

Air Dyne

You want to load your hip, not execute with momentum - maximal control on this one

DETAILS
1. Set a box to the proper height. When you step your foot on the box, your hips are just below your knee. Setting it too high creates hip shifting and pushing off with the back leg. Don't do that. 
2. Place your foot on the box, push knee slightly out, and keep it over ankle. 
3. Begin movement by centering your chest over your knee (balances your center of gravity). 
4. As you drive up through your heel, raise your chest and extend the knee. DO NOT push off with your back leg. 
5. Stand tall and return slow and controlled by leaning the chest forward to counterbalance your weight. Chest over knee = ultimate hip loading = booty gains. 
6. On the return, drag your back foot against the box for stability. 

CUES

- Hip Loading
- Drive Through the Heels
- Knee Over Ankle 
- Knee Pushes Out
- Relax the Back Leg

Step Ups

Goal
Leg drive, power & cardio

Details
1. Add weight plates to a sled. 
2. Begin by digging the feet, keeping the hips in line with shoulders. 
3. Exhale and dig. 
4. Push. 

Cues
- Hips Down
- Core Tight

Substitute: for the plate push or 7 jumping squats and 5 burpees.

Super hyped to have found you and your programs. I’ve been wanting to start a guided program outside of CrossFit classes, but had yet to come across something geared towards non-binary AFAB friends. Loving the focus on mindfulness and authenticity. Excited to start with health is wealth and move into the Fighter program!

I love this. I didn't actually register for the challenge but I am going to do the workouts! Last year was very mentally draining and I am finally getting back on track and you sharing this really makes it that much better knowing some of us are not alone. Thanks for being an awesome coach and sharing your knowledge with us!
