Crossfit Workout at Home

I prefer to workout at the gym but there are days I just can't get there.  But that doesn't mean I can't get a good workout in.  This one is short (10 min!) and sweet, yet affective at blasting some calories.  You can find the original source for this workout HERE.

WARM-UP
Do the 3 warm-up exercises 2 times through to prime your muscles for the workout

Walking Lunge
Standing with feet hip width apart, arms overhead, lunge forward with left foot. Thigh should be parallel to the floor. Back knee just above the floor.
Return to standing by bringing left foot back to the right foot. Repeat move with right leg for one rep. 

 Scorpion
Lie face down with arms extended, palms down. Legs together, toes on floor.With hands planted, rotate torso to right, reaching right foot to meet left hand (as shown) for 1 rep. Return to start; repeat on opposite side. Do 10 reps. 


Hand Walk
Stand with feet hip-width apart. Keeping legs straight, bend forward, place hands on floor and walk hands into push-up position. Inch feet toward hands (as shown) to return to standing. Do 5 reps.

Workout- 
Your goal is to do as many rounds as you can of the three exercises in 10 minutes. 

Deadlift
Stand with feet hip-width apart, a weight on floor between feet. Bend forward, knees bent, pushing hips back; pick up weight (as shown). Stand; return weight to floor for 1 rep. Do 5 reps.

Burpee
Stand with feet hip-width apart. Crouch down; place hands on floor under shoulders. With hands planted, jump feet behind you, landing with entire body on floor. (Belly down to floor) Hop feet (hands stay planted!) back to hands, then jump up, clapping hands overhead (as shown), to return to standing. Do 10 reps.

Butterfly Situp
Lie faceup with a folded towel under lower back, soles of feet together with knees open to sides and arms overhead on floor (as shown). Sit up, touching fingers to toes. Return to start. Do 15 reps.

Enjoy!
