YHC was dragging ass yesterday when it came to completing the 100 burpees. Rolling out of the fartsack to enjoy the gloom YHC decided it’d be best to make sure all PAX complete their 100 burpees while also getting in some knee-hab! YHC has reading more about “rehabbing” and “bulletproofing” the body for longevity. With various levels of fitness, the need for modifications is paramount. Stumbled across a guy named Ben Patrick (KneesOverToesGuy)- his book Knee Ability Zero gives a great baseline for helping knee pain and preventing pain for the future.

Warm up:

  • 10 SSH (IC)
  • 10 Windmill (IC)
    • Hang and stretch for each leg for ~two breaths

 

The Thang:

  • Interval Burpees- every 4 minutes, timer to go off = 10 burpees (Pavlovian learning lol)
  • Knee-Hab work (all OYO)
    • Tibialis (Tib) Raises – 25
      • Butt on the wall, back off the wall- the farther your legs are from the wall the harder it gets
    • Tilted Calf Raises – 25
      • Stand far enough away from wall to when you put your hands on the wall you’re almost getting a calf stretch
    • Tib Raises – 25
    • Knees over toes Calf Raises- 25
      • Use wall for assistance; track knees over toes
    • “Patrick Steps”- 25 each leg
      • Can perform extra if have a weaker side, until balanced
      • Use wall for balance assist as needed
      • The farther you step the harder it is, balance is key

      • Modification- leg elevated
    • Elephant Walk – 30 pers per side

      • The more you lean back the easier it is
    • Couch Stretch: 60 second hold per side
      • Modification: standing quad stretch
