Not Ready (or Interested) in Crossfit?

Do the warmup instead. It'll get your heart pumping and only takes 10 minutes or so.

  • 50x mountain climbers
  • 25x jumping jacks
  • 10x burpees
  • high knee hugs
  • heel to butt
  • inverted toe touch
  • world's greatest
  • 5x walkouts
  • figure 4's
  • side lunge pivot
  • straight leg march
  • sprint/back pedal

Workout area is 30 yards long. Do each drill half the distance, then trot the remaining 15 yards (except for the mountain climbers, jumping jacks, and burpees, of course).

mountain climbersStart in plank position, with one foot up by hands. Switch feet by "running" in plank position.

burpeesBend over and put hands on floor in front of feet. Kick feet back to plank position. Do a pushup. Kick feet back up to hands and stand.
high knee hugsBring knee up to chest and hug it, then release to take a step.

heel to buttJog and bring heel up high behind you, trying to touch your butt with your foot.
inverted toe touchStand on one leg. Pivot other leg straight back and bend to touch toes with opposite arm.

world's greatestCombo move. High knee hug into a forward lunge, reach opposite hand to floor, extend other hand to ceiling. Stand up and repeat with other leg.

walkoutsBend down and place hands on floor in front of toes. Walk hands out into plank position, do a pushup, then walk feet up to meet hands.

figure 4'sStanding on one leg, bring other foot up to cross your knee. With arms extended in front of you, do a partial squat with leg bent over the standing leg.
