I have been on vacation at Carolina Beach in North Carolina for the last week. I got in a couple of workouts on the beach. I will say that running in the sand is no easy task. That will definitely push you to the next level. You think jumping lunges are difficult? Do them in the sand. You think a 100m sprint is rough? Do it in the sand. It’s a whole new level.
Anyway, I can’t brag too much. The funnel cakes, burrito enchiladas, donuts and steak dinners were a tad more than what I actually worked off. Check out the link below for some of my favorite restaurants we were able to eat at during the last week. After you have sufficiently gotten yourself nice and hungry, check out the WOD and think of all the pain you have to endure to burn off those calories.
- The Sawmill Restaurant [I would go back for their breakfast in a heartbeat]
- El Cazador [the burrito enchilada style is legit]
- Britt’s Donuts [Krispy Kreme doesn’t even come close…seriously]
Alright, on to the WOD. This WOD was a Spartan Race WOD that I cut in half. The original was a Spartan 1500. I turned it into about a Spartan 800. I did not do the rope climbs because I do not have a rope to climb at my gym. In the original WOD, 3 rope climbs are at the end, right before the crunches.
- 50 – Burpees
- 50 – Pull ups
- 50 – 24″ box jumps
- 50 – 12lb medicine ball squats
- 50 – Jumping jacks
- 50 – Brazilian ab twists [25 each side]
- 50 – Air squats
- 50 – Side kicks [25 each side]
- 50 – Jumping lunges
- 50 – 40lb curls [25 each side]
- 50 – 35lb overhead tricep extensions [25 each side]
- 50 – Jumping jacks
- 50 – Squat jumps
- 150 – Crunches
Actual time – 34:14
