Unsurprisingly, the workout today is a slow-paced, recovery WOD. It contains several movements that I like to include in my warm-ups like inchworms, cat cow stretches, and glute bridges along with other exercises that focus on the core like Superman holds and Russian twists.
Unlike the inchworms that I suggest for the warm-up, today we will be performing inchworm walks. This movement can be scaled by shortening the distance for your inchworm walk or by substituting bear crawls. Also, though all of the Russian twists will be performed unweighted today, this movement can be made easier be keeping the heels on the floor or more difficult by keeping the legs straight throughout the repetitions.
Like the earlier workouts this week, we will not be scoring today’s WOD, and everyone will be performing the same basic workout though scaled to their current fitness abilities. Pick the exercise modifications that work for you, and work at an easy to moderate intensity.
For 16 minutes:
Inchworm walk or bear crawl across room (comfortable distance for you today)
10 cat cow stretches
10 Superman holds (performed slowly and deliberately)
Inchworm walk or bear crawl back across room
10 glute bridges
10 unweighted Russian twists
Don’t forget to try a couple foam roller exercises today. Below is a video that goes over some basic ones you can experiment with:
