Corona del Mar personal trainer- crossfit workout

By on April 1, 2009 in Workout of the Day

Hey There, Steve (Corona del Mar personal trainer) here with the days workout.

Todays workout was inspired by Crossfit’s ‘Nicole’ workout. This is what it looked like:

“Nicole“

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:

  • Run 400 meters
  • Max rep Pull-ups

As you can see, there isn’t a lot of fancy exercises to this one but it is a tough one to complete, especially for 20 minutes!  Here are Mike and Pam doing killer job and showing how it’s done!

I really like this workout because you’re only running 400 meters (basically a 1/4 mile) at a time.  This means you can really push yourself, knowing that you’ll be done in less than 2 minutes.  Now although your total run time isn’t that much, you’re going to be activating your fat burning mechanism (EPOC)

So give this workout a try and if you have trouble with pull-ups, checkout this video: Irvine boot camp jumping pull-ups

    Great workout! The pull-ups are always a challenge for me. I am now getting to the point where I can actually get the proper form for at least the first set! In the beginning I couldn’t even lift myself up. The cardio in between sets increases the challenge!

    Good job on the revised web-page. I look forward to reading everyone else’s comments!

    This workout was really challenging. There were times, when I thought “I really can’t do anymore” and then, I found myself doing it. I could hear Steve say in the background “five more” and I thought to myself …. is he nuts?I can’t do five more, I just can’t. And then, “poof ” I did it. I acheived it. I did five more. Somehow I kept going!! It felt great. Like bring on any task today and I can do it. That’s what exercise does. Steve has a great and subtle way of getting me thru it without me knowing. Thanks Steve!!
