Travel WODS

We all need to be away from our beloved Chrysalis from time to time and we can't always find a gym to drop into for a good workout. So what's a guy/gal to do? Well a Travel Workout of course.

Here are some of our favourites to use when you're in a pinch or simply can't workout anywhere other than a park or your hotel room.

Enjoy!

Note from your coaches: For all workouts below, please warm up first. That means a 5 min walk and performing a few rounds of 10 reps of each of the exercises you will be doing at high intensity to ensure you prep your muscles for the burn. To cool down, walk it off for a few minutes when you are done and stretch the affected muscles. (Yes, we expect you to stretch, even when we're not around.)

Run The Stairs Baby

30 rounds: Sprint up a flight of stairs (at least 20 steps) and walk/jog it back down.

If you can find multiple stories (like a hotel stairwell), reduce the rounds by the multiple of stairs. (2 stories = 15 rounds instead of thirty)

You are encouraged to take the steps two or three at a time if you can on the way up.

Stay Chipper When You Travel

For time, complete 50 each of:

squats
sit-ups
pushups
lunges
V-snaps

Caterpillar Crawl

Complete 10 sets of 20ft worm crawl for quality. Worm crawl: Starting in plank position, inch up your feet to a pike position, then use your hand to flatten yourself back out to plank, which progressively makes you move forward like a caterpillar.
