Gotta Love the Versaclimber!

Ahh, we love to hate the Versaclimber!

Sorry for being MIA this week...there is some kind of nasty flu bug going and it kicked my butt pretty hard for the last 6 days. Blah!

Today's workout was a "fun" one and another great way to finish off the week. Here we go:

Versaclimber Death March

Versaclimber :30 Seconds

KB Thrusters :30 Seconds

Burpees :30 Seconds

The workout is set up in the following manner: First, pick a destination (in feet) to climb on the Versaclimber. That distance is what the group is collectively trying to accomplish. That means the first person gets on the Versaclimber and goes as hard as possible for 30 seconds, while the second person is doing KB Thrusters and the third person is doing Burpees.

At the end of 30 seconds, everyone rotates to the next station and the Burpee guy/girl gets on the Versaclimber and cranks out another 30 seconds. This continues until the total distance is reached!

This is great because if one person dogs it on the Versaclimber, that just means one more set of everything for the whole group. The goal, obviously, is to crank out as much distance as you can for each set on the Versaclimber.

Today's distance was the Moscow Tower (or 1761 feet). It took the gang about 25 minutes to complete. You can obviously select whatever distance you want, but don't go with something TOO high or you'll be there all freakin' day.

"But Fish, I don't have a Versaclimber!"

Easy enough. If you're in the gym, take over one of the treadmills and run a set distance. Switch with your partners until you run the entire course you've laid out. Believe me, running a 5K in 30 second sprint intervals is a lot harder than it sounds.

Good luck and if you have any questions: scrapper@hawaii.rr.com

Train hard,
