Man, I got my second dose of the vaccine yesterday, and this morning I did NOT want to roll out @ 5:45am to see my Suffer Club friends. I’m not saying I felt bad. I’m just saying I didn’t feel good. But the main lesson of Suffer Club, really, is that if you show up, the rest takes care of itself.
So I showed up.
This is what I call a Circuit Breaker workout. I did not present it as cutely to the crew this morning, but you are receiving the benefit of a run through and refinement.
Here’s how it works: The overall structure of the workout is a circuit. Start at the top. Work your way to the bottom. After every pair of exercises, you’re going to do the Circuit Breaker exercise. So in the first round, you’re doing two exercises and then a burpee as the circuit breaker. The next time through, you’ll run stairs as the circuit breaker. Those are listed at the bottom. As always if you don’t have stairs or a hill, then you can adapt your circuit breakers to get harder and harder.
Circuit:
- 5 x 3-Way Swing Tucks (This is a TRX tuck basically, but you twist left, tuck, come to center, tuck, then twist right and tuck to complete 1 rep).
- 3 x Wall Climbs (If you don’t have a wall, you can sub pull ups here, or even hanging knee ups).
