“CFA Anywhere” WOD, October 1, 2024

“CFA Anywhere” – Tue, Oct 1

October 31 Miles Challenge – Day 1 (AMRAP – Reps)

🎃 Challenge: Complete 1 mile every day (walk or run) for 31 days in October!

🗓️ Dates: October 1 – October 31

🏃 How it Works:
– Walk or run 1 mile each day—indoors or outdoors—it’s your choice!
– While you’re welcome to do more, only 1 mile will count per day toward your 31-mile goal.
– Log your mile daily in the app to stay on track and keep your streak alive!* (You’ll be responsible for tallying your total as you go.)

💡 Pro Tip:
Make it part of your daily routine—whether it’s a morning walk, an evening jog, or during lunch breaks. Keep it fun and aim for consistency!

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • We did a shorter sprint style workout yesterday of 2:30 intervals of high intensity with built in rest. Today should be a longer cardio piece, with no built in rest. Work on staying moving for the entire duration of the workout.
  • This is a great time to focus on your breathing. Don’t let it get reckless. If it does, slow it down a tad.
  • I don’t give you high round numbers very often….this is definitely a mental test as much as it will be physical.
  • Be sure you have something to keep track of your rounds with!!!
  • Burpee Box Step Upsuper important tip be aware of which foot you are stepping in and out of the burpee with. You should not only alternate legs for the step ups, but you should also alternate the leg that you step down and up with on the burpees.
    • During the Burpee Box Step Ups, it’s helpful to keep reminding yourself to lay down, stand up, step up…..repeat.
  • Strict Sit Up – this should be a challenging version of a sit up for you. The RX version is legs straight and arms crossed. You won’t be using any momentum, just your core!! For those who feel they want an added challenge, you should perform Dumbbell Sit Ups
