30 Days of ZombieFit – Day 7

After three days in a row of training I decided to take Saturday (Day 6) off. After all, who gets attacked by Zombies on a Saturday?

Seeing as today was a Sunday I decided to head around to the local school to do my workout while Zoe did her sprints there.

Today’s workout: WOD 647

Warm Up

400m run

3 rounds of:

  • 25m quadrupedal movement
  • 10 push ups
  • 10 jumping pull ups
  • 6 safety rolls from walk (3 each side)

Conditioning

avancee:

On the minute for 5 minutes perform 5 push ups, 5 sit ups and 5 air squats. On the minute for the next 5 minutes (with no rest) perform 10 push ups, 5 sit ups and 5 air squats. On the minute for the next 5 minutes perform 10 push ups, 10 sit ups and 5 air squats. On the minute for the next 5 minutes perform 10 push ups, 10 sit ups and 10 air squats.

If you cannot complete all movements within the minute time frame, you must stop the exercise, complete 2 burpees, and the move on to the next minute’s repetitions.

I subbed out the sit ups for chin ups. Why? Chin ups work your core stabilizers much harder then a sit up, they also help balance out the push ups with some much needed pulling for the upper body.

Here’s what my minutes looked like:

  1. 5 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  2. 5 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  3. 5 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  4. 5 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  5. 5 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  6. 10 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  7. 10 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  8. 10 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  9. 10 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  10. 10 push ups, 5 air squats, 2 chin ups
  11. 10 push ups, 10 air squats, 2 chin ups
  12. 10 push ups, 10 air squats, 2 chin ups
  13. 10 push ups, 10 air squats, 2 chin ups
  14. I went overtime so I finished my round, added 2 burpees and rested until minute 14
  15. 10 push ups, 10 air squats, 2 chin ups
  16. 10 push ups, 10 air squats, 4 chin ups
  17. 2 burpees (overtime)
  18. 10 push ups, 10 air squats, 4 chin ups
  19. 2 burpees (overtime)
  20. 10 push ups, 10 air squats, 4 chin ups

All up I did 145 push ups, 120 air squats, 40 chin ups and 6 burpees.

  1. 15 right leg forward lunges and 5 burpee pull ups
  2. 15 left leg forward lunges and 5 burpee pull ups
  3. 15 right leg forward lunges and 5 burpee pull ups

30 Days of ZombieFit – Day 3

Day 2 was a rest day so I just had Lisa work on my calves which have been super tight and knotty at the moment.

Day 3 brought around my first ZombieFit workout and man was it an experience.

Wetter weather has cooled of my sprints lately so my anaerobic fitness has dropped considerably.

Today’s workout:

Workout 644

Warm up:

250m row

3 rounds of:

  • 10 air squats
  • 10 push ups
  • 10 modified v-sits
  • 10 jumping pull ups

Conditioning

étudiant:

3 rounds for time of:

  • 25m kong walk
  • sprint 100m
  • 5 five-foot precisions
My time: 5:16

Cooldown

3 x handstand against wall until failure.

The blood rushing to my head and blood shot eyes both indicated that I need to do more inverted exercises. I’m hoping this will be one of the outcomes of my ZF month.
