I had a few treats in store beginning with the musical soundtrack primarily of 80’s rock, metal, or cheesy sound tracks to inspire the PAX through the beat down.
The PAX went for a very short mosey, returning to the rear parking lot of the AO declaring that was enough running for the day – the subtle groans and chatter meant intended goal #1 was achieved. Short mosey across the street to the bank for the pledge, a few announcements…

We didn’t quite achieve 45 minutes of Mary, but it was a good half hour’s worth. Enter F3 where inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes where you don’t want to let you partner down plugging through a Dora 1-2-3 (shout out to JK2 and T-Square) where one idiot could lead a PAX full.Īs with any new experience, my nerves were shaking but my PAX were supportive and ready for my version of Insanity to begin. All provide a great workout but without any accountability other than one’s conscious. Prior to a brotherly EH from Whoopee and Roscoe, YHC’s fitness regiment began with Insanity and various other DVD’s. I read Freed to Lead, digested the back blasts, combed the F3 exercise list, and planned my strategy for a worthy beat down at Martha’s House. Swap the position of your legs on the way down to land in a lunge position with the opposite leg forwards.After a number of posts mingled among the PAX it was time to step into the center ring and head of the line. Then drive back up and jump, bringing your knees up towards your chest.

The jump lunge with tuck is a great way to strengthen all the muscles in your legs along with your core – and to show off, because it is not easy.

From standing, lower into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or even lower if you have it in you, then power up into the air.

Don’t do tuck jumps on rock-hard or uneven surfaces, and stop if you feel pain in your knees or ankles. It’s important to be warmed up before tuck jumping though, as a cold body won’t appreciate the explosive movements.Īiming to jump as high as possible means care is required upon landing to avoid placing your joints under too much stress. Tuck jumps are an excellent addition to an HIIT circuit, as they will certainly keep the heart pumping for whatever time period you have assigned to your intervals.
