Pre-Paris CrossFit Workout of the Day for Thursday

Well, this morning was my last CrossFit workout before heading off to Paris. I have two challenges while traveling this time:

1. Keeping up with CrossFit Travel WODs
2. Avoiding the temptation of French food to maintain the Paleo Challenge

That’s right. I have to somehow avoid the great bread, cheeses, pastries, and chocolate and only eat duck, beef, and foie gras. Wish me luck!

Warmup:

• Stretches
• Push-ups
• Jump squats
• Sit-ups
• A few pull-ups

Conditioning:

In 15 minutes, complete as many rounds as possible (AMRAP) of:

• 10 Good Mornings with plates on the barbell (see video below)
• 10 Split Jumps (see videos here)
• 10 Knees-to-Elbows (see video here)
• Repeat

Strength:

5.3.1 Front Squat today was week 4 of the cycle, so it was deload for me.

Cool Down & Recovery

• Practiced more chin-ups
• Some GHD sit-ups
• Some more Knees-to-Elbows (gotta work those abs for the Challenge!)
• Light stretching
• Finished up with a protein drink
