Daily Workout

Physical preparedness is a core principle of Innis, so we incorporate daily exercise centering around functional fitness into our lives.

So, in this archive, you will find the daily programming that helps us pursue this goal. Feel free to steal them and use them for yourself.

If you find the routines difficult or cannot perform them for some reason, you should scale the reps, weights, and exercises to fit your circumstances.

Remember,  the authors and their compadres are performing the workouts, so you’re not alone in the grind.

Workout

40 minutes

1 minute of work
1 minute of rest between exercises

1. Assualt Bike  70rpm pace
2. Rower   1200cal/hr pace
3. Air Runner (7 mph)
4. Over the Box Burpees (12 reps)
5. Wallballs  20lb (20 reps)
6. Jump Ropes (single or double unders)

The objective is to set a target pace that is slightly above your long-distance pace and hold it throughout each of the rounds. You’ll have a minute to recover between each set, so don’t be afraid to push it.

If you have more than six people than add some other exercises like jumping lunges or air squats. Try to keep everyone on the same work and rest cycles.
