Football Food

My husband is a football FANATIC. Me… not so much. I’m in it for the food. So I’ll take any game day as an excuse to put out a spread of food big enough to feed the neighborhood. But what’s a girl to do when she’s on an MBS 8 Week Lifestyle Challenge? You can stay the course with mouth watering recipes from Paleomg. Click here to being drooling.

A few tips for today’s Wall Balls:

*Keep your chest up. Keeping your gaze upward will help keep your chest up.
*Keep your elbows up enough so the ball is in between your face and neck.
*Weight in the heels, don’t fall forward.
*Drive through the heels.
*Jump if you need to in order to hit the target. (It won’t kill you, I promise.)

*Thanks to Charlie D. for being today’s model.

Workout of the Day
15 minutes: Box squat, 5-5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1 up to 1RM
then
4 Rounds alternating rounds with a partner, not for time:
4-3-2-1 Band resisted sprint runs (about 20 yards or 10 seconds each)
10-20-30-40 Wall balls
15-12-9-6 Strict Pullups (no bands, partner assisted)

Partner A will go first. Partner B hold the band around P-A’s waist for the resisted sprint, which will be sets of 10-seconds each. So, in round 1, it will be 4 sets of a 10-second resisted sprint, turning around and resetting after each set. Immediately after the sprint, P-A will do first round of wall balls, then the pullups. Whatever strict pullups you cannot complete on your own, you partner will assist you to get chin over bar. After P-A completes first round, P-B will do first round. Alternate until completion.

Extra Credit: Spend 10 minutes on lower body mobilization.
