The Wetter the Better

WARMUP: Brief COP and stretching by the bandshell

THE THANG:
We made our way around WEP stopping for fun in some traditional old school ways.

From the path along 160 at the far end we Inch Wormed across the field towards the hill. Midway across we rose and sprinted to top of hill.

Jacob broke out his ladder for us and we climbed it with burpees and flutters.

On the way back to starting point we stopped at playground for a series of laps around it including core exercises — Freddys, shoulder Taps, big boys, LBCs .

We made it over to Stairway to Heaven where we lunge walked stopping for squats at each light post (5, 10, 15, 20, 25).

We concluded with Round the Clock Merkins on the curb.

MARY: Yes, she beat us up for the final 4 mins.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tortoise + Hare, Hog + Coyote, DP Tuesdays now at WEP every week

COT: It was a wet day with rain soaked park and more falling throughout the workout. Pax pushed each other with no complaints. Time Machine completed his first post at DP and his Daily Double!

Thanks for putting in the work men!

4×4 around the Dragon’s Den

Get Max Heart Rate

What Is My Maximum Heart Rate?
As you exercise, your heart rate will elevate. Your maximum heart rate is:

220 minus your age

Training with a heart rate above this level can be dangerous. It is advised to work at a level that suits your fitness levels and heart health.

The Norwegian 4×4 workout outlines a target heart rate of 85%-95% of your max heart rate. If you don’t have a fitness tracker that measures heart rate, aim to push yourself to a level of exertion that is 8 or 9 out of 10, where talking feels challenging.

4×4 Workout
To complete the Norwegian 4×4 workout:

Warm-up

Complete a low-intensity warm-up for 10 minutes. This could be a light jog and dynamic stretches.

Intervals

4 minutes each interval of a cardio exercise of choice, at 85-95% of your maximum heart rate. This could be running, swimming, rowing, cycling or high-intensity bodyweight exercises. If you’re running, this could be your 5k or 10k pace.

Active recovery

3 minutes rest of low-intensity activity like brisk walking or jogging, taking your heart rate down to 60-70% of your max heart rate.

Repeat

For a total of 4 high-intensity intervals and rests.

Cool down

Bring down your heart rate slowly, then stretch.
