Workout Of The Week - 21's

This weeks workout is an adaptation of a crossfit session. Now anyone who knows me will be aware that I do have the odd swipe at crossfit, however, I do like some of the session formats.  I regularly use this session as an assessment to get to know the fitness levels of new clients across a range of movements and muscle groups - Pull, Push, Abs, Legs and Cardio.  The session is to be completed as quickly as possible and the time recorded.  The session can be repeated at regular intervals as a rough guage of improvements.

The session involves 7 rounds of 4 different exercises with a 200m row at the end of each round.  The reps to be completed for each round reduce by 3 each time - 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3.  The exercises are - 

21 Pull Ups (Horizontal Pull Ups if required)

21 Press Ups

21Crunch

21 Squat

200m Row

18 Pull Ups

18 Press Ups

18 Crunch

18 Squat

200m Row
