WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Like the workout says, bike as many calories as you possibly can in one minute. You’ll then immediately sprint (with bambi legs the first 50m) 200 meters, knowing you have a 3 minute rest coming up. That’s more rest than work!! Target between 80-125 calories and completing the work (rest included) in 22 minutes.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
For the cleans, choose a weight that you can cycle for 5-7 reps then have to take a quick break. For the sets of 27 and 21, purposefully break the cleans into 3 sets to save your grip, but also so your heart rate doesn’t spike so high that you can’t keep moving forward. The sets of 15 and 9, try to only break the set once. Find a steady cycle on the box jumps, and chip away at the knees to elbow in sets of 3-5. Target 15 minutes.

APRIL CHALLENGE: Stretching/Mobility

LET’S STRETCH

For the month of April,  Daybreak is on a mission to stretch everyday! Why 30 days of stretching? Stretching improves range of motion, performance, and reduces the risk of an injury.

We will be doing some stretching/mobility in classes, but there are plenty of other options to help you get flexy and mobile. Listed below are some of our favorites to get you motivated and give you ideas on how/what to do.

If you have a favorite yoga class, youtube class, and/or app, send us the information and we’ll share it with your fellow Daybreakers on our site.

THE DETAILS

The challenge will run April 1-30, and every week the amount of time you spend stretching increases

April 1-9: 5 minutes/day
April 10-16: 10 minutes/day
April 17-23: 15 minutes/day
April 24-30: 20 minutes/day

For every 5 minutes you stretch, you’ll receive a point. Week 1 you have the potential for 1 point per day, and week two you have a potential of earning 2 points. You cannot earn extra points for doing additional stretching. However, if on week 4 you can’t find 20 minutes one day to stretch but instead do 10, you’re not penalized and can still earn 2 points. You’ll keep track of your points via the Triib app. Sign up HERE

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
The 10 rounder is meant to be strength building for foundational gymnastics movements. The stronger your strict movements, the easier volume kipping movements become. A great way to attack this workout is by executing the reps (both pull and push) on the minute. There will be a 15 minute cap. For the 400’s, target your 1 mile PR pace and keep intervals within :05 of each other.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Fun one! Do the front squats and thrusters unbroken as long as possible, taking around :02-:03 per rep. If you are proficient at toes to bar, do 12/10/8 sets. If toes to bar are an ok movement for you, try sets of 6-10. And if they’re not your jam, chip away at fast singles! After the first three movements, take a one minute rest before starting the next chipper which subs out toes to bar for chest to bars. For the chest to bars, if you’re proficient do sets of 6 with shorter breaks. If they’re not your jam, do fast singles. And for the third chipper, sub out chest to bars for bar muscle ups!! Attack your bar muscle ups in sets of 3 or singles.

For the complex, you only have seven minutes to attempt somewhere between 2-3 attempts at a heavy weight. Load your barbell with a manageable weight (a weight you can successfully lift in your sleep) and complete your lift. Add weight that is going to be challenging and complete a complex. Then if there’s time, add a little more weight (to something that’s intimidating) and give that weight a shot.
