Friday: Adult Jungle Gym

Zach's 54 just got a crazy new jungle gym thing that my Friday class has been looking forward to for weeks! So in honor of the new contraption, our class focused on what we could do on this thing (and the surrounding area)! Here is what we did today!

Warm-up: Jogging around the indoor track.
Round 1: each station 1 minute
Round 2: each station 45 sec.

Station 1: TRX Front Squats-you take it from this positions (shown) into a squat and come back up. 
We added forward jumps to the squats because we are cool like that!

Station 2: TRX Crunch-I think this picture shows it perfectly! 
If you can't do a crunch, hold the plank position!


Station 3: Buso Ball Squats-like we did on THIS Friday!

Station 4:  Elevated Pushups with hands on bar.
Kind of like this . . .

Station 5: High Step Ups

 Station 6: Ab Twists with a medicine ball. 

Station 7: Pullups. We did have a big band for support, but lets be honest . . .
it was a BAD idea!

Stations 8: Rope Work-picture is about the best description I have!
(and yeah, we all looked that good doing it!)

Station 9: Buso Squats--um, I don't think well at 5:30am so we had this station twice!

Station 10: Dips on the bar. BBAAADDDD!

Station 11: Over/Unders-Step over a bar-then squat under the bar. 
Because we range from 5'2" to 6'4", this exercise was awesome!
Station 11 option 2: Monkey Bars. Yeah. This stopped being easy about
25 years ago! My hands STILL hurt!

Station 12: Crunches on ball

Finished up with abs to "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice, and stretched 
to "I Like Big Butts" by Sir Mix-a-lot!
How else would you end this fun?!
