Day 4 - Memorial Day

Follow up

They felt good, and said they have more energy, and are feeling better.

Warm Up (Scaled)

3 Rounds - (not timed) of:
Mobility and stretching
5 med ball squats (extra stretching, only 2 rds of squats)
5 pushups (2 rds)

Modified "Murph"

Run 400m

35 ring rows / jumping pullups

70 pushups / knee pushups

100 squats / box squats

Run 400m

Goal: 5 rounds
Their goal was to finish without quitting. They did, however this was by far the toughest WOD they've done. Probably too much right now. Advised to get protein, extra water, and to stay away from carbonation for the day.

Day 3 - First AMRAP

Follow up

They were still pretty sore from the last WOD, but reported that they have a bunch more energy already

They also said that they were now "craving" water

Warm Up (Scaled)

3 Rounds - (not timed) of:
Mobility and stretching
5 med ball squats
5 pushups
5 situps

Workout
8 Minute AMRAP of:

5 Box Jumps 18" (scaled to step-ups)

10 situps

5 Ground to Overhead 45 / 25# plate

Goal: 5 rounds
They made it to the fourth round, but didn't finish. This was definitely the hardest WOD to date, and I'm SURE they'll be sore through the weekend. 

Day 2 - First METCON

Follow up

They were sore for the last two days. Surprisingly, they were sore - in the arms and shoulders - from the warmup.

After the last workout, they were thirsty, drank diet cola, and got headaches. I reminded them that they should be drinking about a gallon of water a day.

5 med ball squats
5 pushups
5 situps

Workout

They took no breaks, and took just under 4 minutes to complete.

Day 1 - Intros and Running

 Today was used as an assessment day. I checked range of motion, asked about any medical conditions that I needed to know about, and began a modified warm up:

Warm Up (Scaled)

3 Rounds - (not timed) of:
Mobility and stretching
5 box squats
5 pushups
5 situps

Workout
5 minute run
(Goal - no breaks)

They took three breaks during the run, and got just over .5 miles

I'm starting them on a MWF schedule. We'll ramp up from there soon.

First Post!

This Blog is to chronicle the ramp-up process of a client I'm training.

This is an individual that is quite out of shape. I will use this blog to follow their progress, the WODs they used, and issues and problems they had during the training process.

Furthermore (and hopefully) after they are completely ramped up, I will have created a rough template for ramping up into regular programing.

 

Thanks for looking!
