Closing out November. Way to keep your fitness going during this challenging month all! You’ve been thrown many curve balls but you’ve worked around them and kept going. It’s been great to have you taking down wods on Zoom, in Open Gyms and also to know when you’ve been fitting it in on your own. Thanks so much! To a month of healthy, happy, holidays ahead! Let the festive spirit also infuse our December workouts.

WOD Notes: Consider using an odd object held at chest for lunges and squats i.e. a sandbag, slam ball, medicine ball, sack of rice or select a challenging DB or plate. Ensure proud chest on lunges and squat. Slow is strong for this wod. Pause at bottom of squat with weight for a second before standing. Use a weight that requires at least 1 break on the 40 lunges; this will also be your squat weight. Take object from ground to overhead if not appropriate to throw over shoulder and increase reps to 15-20 if better challenge. Sub for hanging knee raises is lying toe raises.
