Core Work

Link these to your midsection. Stay tight and controlled. Become a master of your own movement.

3 reps each exercise, 3 reps each side for unilateral work. Weights are whatever you want, but don't be a Sally, choose strong. Rest as needed, this is not a timed workout.

Bent Press R/L
Overhead Squat
L-Pullups
KB Dragon Press R/L
Foot Drop Spinal Rock
X 3-5 rounds

Kyle Sheepskin

This is named after a friend of mine. My wife calls him "Sheepskin" because of a word scramble when referring to a backpack that Kyle owns (long story). He would enjoy this workout and definitely beat my time.

The weights are: Men 95lbs, Women 65lbs, scale up or down as necessary

10 Rounds for time:
3 Power Snatches
3 Power Cleans
3 Jerks

All Snatches and Cleans are floor to overhead.

Mini-Murph

Crossfit has a Hero WOD called "Murph". Murph was a Navy Seal Officer who was killed in Afghanistan. This is literally half of the workout that he used to do with a 20lb vest. Feel free to scale up or down as necessary. Remember that this man gave his life so you could enjoy your life and elect to do such workouts.
