NO TIME? NO PROBLEM. MICRO TRX WORKOUTS.

When life makes it impossible to get in mega-WOD's, don't think that
your training has to go in the toilet.

There will always be a few aporias, even in a busy day, where you can
make time to train. Keys to making it happen:
-wear clothes that double as social clothes and training clothes (for
me, Smart Wool t-shirts, Prana climbing khakis with gusseted crotch
for full range of motion, Vibram 5-Fingers in bag)
-always carry easily transportable/implementable training tools (for
me, TRX and jumprope)

That's it. That's all you need to have with you, and in a pinch you
could improvise, do just bodyweight work and sprints or whatever suits
your fancy.

Here are a few micro-WOD's I busted over a very busy weekend:

FR March 19: MICRO-WOD 1
-I set up the TRX on a post at the top of a set of stairs in a small
stadium at a local track and got busy.
11 minutes:
7 x's the following circuit, no rest:
-2 x 50 stair sprint
-10 x TRX Low Row
-10 x TRX Suspended Oblique Crunch

SA March 20: MICRO-WOD 2
-Made my way to the East Bay to take in the last Cal Rugby game at
Witter field before they plow it to install turf and turn it into a
training field for the football team. Stuffed my TRX and a jumprope in
my bag in the event I had a free 10-15 to get in a WOD. When the game
was over and my group was drinking beers post-game, I slid off and hit
a WOD then joined up with them again. Rigged the TRX to a structure
atop the Cal football stadium, warmed up with the jump rope and hit
this:
16 minutes:
w/u: 2 min. jumproping, various jumps
:30 x TRX Chest Press
:30 x TRX Low Row (alternating grips every rep)
:30 x TRX Postural Squat
1 min. jumproping
:30 x TRX Atomic Pushup
:30 x TRX Suspended Pendulum

:30 x TRX High Biceps Curl
1 min. jumproping
:30 x TRX Mountain Climber

SU March 21: MICRO-WOD 3
Again, limited time, broke off for:
19 min. total

-pull-up
-push-up
-bodyweight squat

55 push-ups, 55 pull-ups, 55 bodyweight squats, 5 min. jumproping

A little bit of something, a little bit better every day.

Live alive, DRILLit.
