One of my favorite parts of the year is all of the holidays and it is not because of all the food, family or presents present on that day. Rather it is because of the workout of the day. In most workouts, you are tackling a standard workout of what seems to be an outrageous number of sets and reps all on your own.
However, at CrossFit Monrovia at least, you get to have a little more fun (but really, when is a WOD ever not fun?). Whether it is Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, a wedding announcement, Halloween or even Easter, these lab rats know how to create some of the greatest WODs around.
These WODs usually consist of a theme around the holiday being celebrated and are often in teams (it gets pretty competitive!).In the past some of these WODs have consisted of chasing down fed-ex which was really running around the block with a stack of boxes filled with weights, or pushing a two-ton truck across thestreet, Santa’s cookie and milk (downing an Oreo and glass of milk at the “starting gate”), a sobriety test (taking a shot of alcohol or apple juice followed by somersaulting to a beam,
walking across the beam, and ending with a 180 degree burpee), midnight fireworks (star-jumping over your teammates to make it across the room) and many more fun and kooky things.
What are you’re holiday workout plans? Thinking of trying something new, fun and maybe even a little crazy? Maybe a little Bunny Gone Bad (a twist on fight gone bad)?
