We have now covered the S and the L in SLIPS and are ready to move on to the I: Inversions. Turning yourself upside down can be scary for many people, so take it slow and find the modification that is right for you. Please click on the link above to learn how to perform and modify this movement. Then, try the following workout:
4 Minute EMOM:
30 seconds of preferred handstand modification
Today’s workout is an AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible). The goal of today’s WOD is to complete as many rounds of 1 inchworm, 1 burpee, 2 lunges, and 1 broad jump as you can during the 15 minute time limit. Work hard and have fun!
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD as prescribed (Rx):
Rx:
15 minute AMRAP:
1 inchworm
1 burpee
2 alternating lunges (one lunge each leg)
1 broad jump
All of the movements in today’s workout can be difficult for beginners, so consider reducing the total workout time and taking it slowly today. Modify the burpees and lunges as needed. Any kind of forward jump is acceptable for today’s WOD. You can jump with two feet together or with one foot leading. Your jump can be six inches long or several feet. Just do your best and that will be enough. A beginner’s version of today’s workout could look like this:
Scaled 1:
10 minute AMRAP:
1 inchworm
1 elevated, no push-up burpee
2 modified lunges (one lunge each leg)
1 forward jump
Perhaps something between the Rx version and the beginner version of the WOD is right for you today. Another variation of today’s WOD might look like this:
Scaled 2:
15 minute AMRAP:
1 inchworm
1 step-back burpee
2 alternating lunges (one lunge each leg)
1 forward jump
Please listen to your body, and pick the version of the workout that is right for you. You can always adjust mid-WOD if you find that the modifications you’ve picked are too easy or too difficult.
