One More Physical Conditioning II Beatdown

Coach Korczynski again afforded me one more g opportunity to serve as a special guest in his Physical Conditioning II class.  The first visit occurred in November and the second was in March.

Coach K instructed the group through the static warm-up, then I took the lead and we headed outside.

The continued emphasis was to limit the down-time as much as possible, while utilizing various areas of our campus outside (previous two had been indoor).  Participants were instructed to modify, as needed. Here's what it looked like:

Leaving the gym, jog to the practice field.

Extended Warm-Up:

30 Jumping-Jacks (in cadence)
15 Elbow-to-Knee Tucks (in cadence)
15 Oblique Elbow-to-Knee Tucks (in cadence)

Part I: Practice Field

There are four trees lining the sideline of the practice field.  Start at tree #1, five burpees.  Run to tree #2, 10 push-ups; run to tree #3, 15 air squats, run to tree #4, 20 lunges.  Complete as fast as possible on your own., run back to the starting point and plank until the group has completed.

x four, with backpedaling replacing running for the second circuit.

Jog to the stadium.
Part II: Stadium

Everyone finds a spot at the bottom of the bleachers.

20 decline push-ups (in cadence)
20 incline push-ups (in cadence)
20 dips (in cadence)
10 box jumps OR 20 step-ups (on your own)
[all consecutive; no rest]

x four 

Jog to the side of the gym

Part III: Exterior Gym Wall

Participants can either choose wall-sits or handstands against the wall for 30 seconds, followed by 10 push-ups immediately.

x three

We conclude the beatdown and reenter the gym for hydration.

Continued respect to these students for participating: Jake, Tyler, Jamall, Adam, Jacob, Casey, Chris, Harrison and Ike; These are You vs. You workouts, where the only measurement is how hard you push yourself.  A very strong showing today by this collective group, and improvement from last time where no one had to abandon the beatdown for regurgitation.

Appreciation to Coach K for giving me this opportunity throughout the year.  He got after it with us this time, too.

Thank you for being your best.
