This week’s WAWA is mostly non-running focused.  I’ll set up 12 stations “around the clock”, with each hour designated as a different exercise.  Each designated “hour” will have one participant, ensuring we have all the stations covered.  The 5 o’clock position with have 30 reps of a specific battle ropes exercise.  (I will designate the battle ropes exercise in advance.)

Participants will rotate stations clockwise to the next “hour” once the individual at the 5 o’clock position completes the battle rope portion and yells “rotate”.

One set is equal to one ration through all 12 hours.

Our WAWA goal is to complete 3 sets.  In-between sets we’ll do relay races between the basketball end lines for approximately 5 minutes each.  3 sets and 2 relays.  That’s this week’s WAWA!

3 sets (12 stations each) around the clock

2 relay races (5 minutes each) in-between clock sets

I’m introducing three new exercises as well:

Manmaker Burpees:  A slight variation of the burpee exercise (that we love so much)….!  Grab two medium dumbbells.  Drop to a plank position.  Upright row with left dumbbell followed by upright row with right dumbbell.  1 pushup.  Kick the knees into a squat position.  Rise up and complete an overhead dumbbell press.  Don’t worry…I’ll demonstrate this ahead of time!

Burpee Double Squats:  Another slight variation to the burpee exercise!  This one is completed just like a regular burpee except for the final “jump”.  Instead of a jump, stand upright and down two standing squats.

One Leg Deadlift to Reverse Lunge:  Complete a 1-leg deadlift, keeping balance.  Then bring that raise leg down and kick-back to a reverse lunge.  Alternate legs.
