WOD Type: Test Day

WOD Warm-Up:

30 minute standard warm-up for mobility. I have also added overhead squat / Snatch Preparation Routine… Mobility man stretches.

WOD Particulars:

Perform the following :

• L-Sit for time
• Handstand Walk for Distance
• Chest to Bar Weighted Pullup for Load
• Snatch 1 Rep for Load
• Double Under Practice
• Rings Practice

Today’s WOD Time was not followed as it was a test day. So, L-sits turned out to be 13 seconds and Hand Stands Walks turned out to be a big fat Zero! From just those two, I realized I need to work really hard on my core. Chest to Bar @ 35#, Snatch @ 140# which is only because I feel really uncomfortable using steal plates instead of bumper plates. Finally, Double Unders @ 10 minutes and Ring Work for 10 Minutes.

Teachable Moment:

If you are genuinely concerned about health, then weight loss should not be the ultimate goal of all fitness efforts. You should try to eliminate cigarettes and limit alcohol consumption, eat healthy food, get a reasonable amount of exercise, and generally take care of yourself. You do not need scientific advice and a professionally designed eating and exercise schedule. More likely what you need is common sense simple changes like snacking on fruits sometimes, walking to work, and visiting your doctor when recommended.

Doctor check ups are recommended at varying intervals depending on your age and health circumstances but it is wise to keep up to date with these checkups and not to fall into the trap of constantly procrastinating. If the cost of doctor visits is a serious issue that causes you to skip visits, then maybe you should consider a health insurance plan that will cover such checkups and just charge you an affordable monthly amount. And for body’s sake, start WOD…ing!
