SLSC is open under Illinois’s Phase 5 guidelines. Check out our response to Covid-19 here.

Workout of the Day

FITNESS
A. 10 min kipping skill work

Training notes:
Things to work on:
•Keeping a solid arch rather than hinging at one specific spot in your low back
•Elbows stay straight and scaps stay in a good position
•It can often be easier to get the kipping motion with a hanging leg raise than with a toes-to-bar
•Don’t work on kipping pull-ups until you feel comfortable with strict pull-ups – but you can still work on the kipping motion.

B. 3 rounds:
400m run
21 KB swings
6 Renegade rows, no push-up

Training notes:
•KB weight should be moderate – you should be able to do the first set unbroken.
•Renegade row weight should be moderately challenging.
•6 renegade rows means 6 per arm.

Record total time.
