Wednesday's WOD (A Day Late)

I apologize for this being a day late, but sometimes life gets a little hectic and 24 hours in a day just isn't enough time to accomplish everything you need to do. Maybe we should have 25 hours in a day. I feel like I could do a lot with that extra hour. Do you agree? Anyway, we had a great workout on Wednesday that proved to be quite difficult. Sometimes workouts play out a little differently than I intend, but I was very happy with my boot campers and the outcome of this one.

-Run hard for 5 minutes. (This included up/down stairs as well)
Rest 2 minutes.

-10 Handstand Push-Ups (HSPU)

People always wonder why we take a rest and the reason is that it allows time to slightly recover and have the same power output as you did the previous time. The goal yesterday was to be consistent during each run and ARMRAP. If you completed 4 laps the first time, then complete 4 the next time and if you completed 3 rounds the first AMRAP, do 3 the next. I'm very pleased to say that everyone stayed consistent! Most people completed almost 4 laps on the runs and everyone completed 3 rounds during both 10 minute AMRAP's. Pretty impressive.

On a side note, I would like to thank all my boot campers for turning in their food journals and being honest. I know food can be a very personal topic, so I was pleased to see people being truthful, even if somedays were a little scary. We all have to start somewhere in our healthy lifestyle journey. Some have further to go than others, but the only thing that matters is consistency. Consistently exercise, make better food choices and educate yourself on what's best for your body. I'm always here to help and cheer everyone on that is willing to make a change. Even slight changes will make a difference. Be consistent, be patient and be kind to yourself.
