Workout of the day

Hey athletes, Polar Peaks Challenge is here to spike your weekend with explosive energy! This WOD has been crafted to push your endurance, strength, and gymnastic skills. As we dive into the session, remember to focus on form over speed, and let’s crush those rounds together!

The workout of the day consists of:

5 rounds for time of: 21 SkiErg 15 Deficit Handstand Push-Ups 9 Kipping Pull-Ups

Scaling

Reduce rounds or reps, substitute standard handstand push-ups or pike push-ups for deficit handstand push-ups, use jumping or banded pull-ups in place of kipping pull-ups.

No equipment

If lacking a SkiErg: sub with jumping jacks or a 200m run. For handstand push-ups, perform a dumbbell strict press. Replace kipping pull-ups with body rows using a sturdy table or towel row.

Warmup

5-minute light cardio followed by dynamic stretching:

  • arm circles
  • leg swings
  • wrist and ankle rotations.

Then 3 rounds of slowly increasing intensity:

  • 5 inch-worms
  • 10 shoulder taps
  • 7 ring rows

Cooldown

5 minutes of low-impact activity such as walking or cycling. Then, stretch: child’s pose, pike stretch, shoulder pass-throughs with a band or towel, and foam roll lats and thoracic spine for recovery.
