Remember and reflect today.  Think about someone that you love or haven't spoken to in a while or years.  Maybe today is the day you reconnect with them.  Life is precious, and cherish the moments you have with those you care about to the fullest.

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are hitting the steel and bodyweight conditioning movements for a strength and conditioning combo.  I love using bodyweight movements for sprints, it's a great way to raise the heart rate without actually running. :-)  We will be working explosive lifts, so after each sprint take a few minutes of recovery time.

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to train using clubbells.  If you don't have access to them, you can use kettlebells or dumbbells.  Clubbells really work your grip and are very top heavy so they are force you to utilize your core to remain balanced and in control.  Also, they are tremendous for joint mobility and are an exceptional multi-plane exercise tool.  Also, they are just fun to work out with too.  Just another different way to keep your body guessing..

5 rounds:
20 front swing
12 clean and front squat
12 pull over/halos
12 front press
5 chin ups

Cool down, have a nice day.. El Rey always..

Warmup with joint mobility dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a bodyweight chipper.  Each exercise will be performed 30-20-10 reps.  So tons of volume today.  Don't worry, no burpees ;-).. This is a fast efficient way to get a ton of work completed in short amount of time.  Pick 5-6 movements and get after it.  As always, never sacrifice form for speed.  If you need to stop and take a break, do so..

Down then Up...

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam rollers.  Today we are going to hit the whole body with the Turkish get up.  This is a great strength building exercise.  You are putting your body under tension and improving your overall strength, shoulder mobility, grip strength, stamina and flexibility.  It is especially beneficial for the hip mobility, hip extension, and spinal extension.

Cool down, have a nice day.. El Rey always..

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a simple training session.  There is only 1 movement, but the penalty for stopping could add up exponentially.  As always, make sure that you're be honest with yourself.  No sense, you're only cheating yourself if your form breaks down.  So, each time you have to stop, there will be a bodyweight  exercise penalty.

500 two handed swings
1st time you stop, the penalty is 2 burpees.  Add 2 for every other stop after the 1st.
For example stop #6 should be 12, stop #10 should be 20..

Cool down, have a nice day..  El Rey always..
