Long Beach Workout of the Week 8/1 Max Work for Time and Sandbags
0Maximum work for time?!?
That sounds like a prison sentence! Its not that at all.
I prefer to call this workout “Whatchoo Got?” Its a test of work capacity, overall fitness, strength, stamina, endurance and sheer willpower.
This workout uses all kinds of equipment: sand bags, jump ropes, Dynamax Balls, kettle bells etc. I’ll let the description do the talking:
Workout of the Week: “Whatchoo Got?”
50 Wallballs (10#/20#)
50m Sand bag Carry (45#/70#)
50 Situps
50m Sand bag Carry
50 Pushups (bar/floor)
50m Sandbag Carry
50 Kettlebell swings
50m Sand bag Carry
50 single under jump rope
50m Sand bag Carry
15 minute time limit to get as much work done as possible. If you get to the finish, start over again!
So the basic rundown is this: each exercise is done to completion and then there is a 50 meter sand bag carry. The ladies carried a 45lb bag and men a 70lb bag, then they move on to complete 50 reps of the next exercise, with sandbag carry to follow again. So on and so forth.
This was a great little functional workout test. I was really excited to see everyone learning new fitness “levels” they could test out. Everyone got really good at keeping a constant quick moving pace to get the MOST work done in the shortest amount of time. Isn’t that what being FIT is all about? Farther, faster, stronger, quicker.
Here are the results:
| Ladies | Results (1-5 or ALL) | Men | Results |
| S.W. | ALL+ 13 wallball | M.L. (135#) | 3 ex. + 18KB |
| K.M. | ALL | ||
| M.K. | 1-5+25m carry | ||
| M.R. | 1-5 (no final carry) |
Great job everyone! I was happy to see everyone just working hard and checking in with me for the time so they can adjust their pace. Everyone kept moving fast and from the sweat and rosy cheeks…got a great workout.
