“CFA Anywhere” WOD, July 25, 2024

“CFA Anywhere” – Thu, Jul 25

THURSDAY REMINDER

I often mention this in the Thursday Workout Videos, but in case you’re new:

We offer workouts every Thursday in this track 😊. We have done this for people who:
– Missed a different day of the week, but are able to workout today
– Need a travel or hotel-friendly workout on Thursdays
– Want to stay disciplined and show up on Thursdays for 30 minutes.

Remember, if you need rest today, take it! If you prefer an active recovery day, complete this at a low to moderate intensity. Don’t worry about your leaderboard score and maybe even stick to the bodyweight version today.

Feeling fantastic today? Give it your all!

Either way, HAVE A FANTASTIC THURSDAY.

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Be smart about the way you start this workout. The lunge ladder climbs while the sit up ladder descends.
  • Bodyweight Split Squat – BOTH feet are planted on the ground – these are difference than a Bulgarian split squat. (no foot will be elevated today). Keep in mind that the bulk of these are in the back half of this workout. This will be 100 split squats per leg.
  • I would recommend taking short quick breaks in the split squats early!!!
  • Sit Ups
    • RX+ Option:Strict Sit Up – remember this is arms crossed and legs straight – not using any momentum…just your core!!
