High Box PLUS
At the end of a workout, I sometimes like to do a ‘finisher,’ a short high-intensity exercise or group of exercises to get my body to exert itself that extra bit more.
The ‘High Box’ is an exercise that we used frequently at our martial arts gym. I added in a couple of things to come up with the ‘High Box PLUS’ finisher workout. Watch the video to see how it’s done and then be sure to give it your best effort!
Note: I realize this workout cannot easily be done on a monohull. Even on our catamaran, it is hard to really move around as much as I would like. If you can find a large area on land, then best to do it there. The bigger the area, the better!
Description of High Box workout:
- Stationary high box (30 seconds – 1 minute)
- Add in bear walks and crab walks. Be sure to move in every direction (forward/back, left/right, circle) (30 seconds – 1 minute)
- Add in kick ups and dive bombers. Each time you flip so your belly is up, do 4 kick ups. When you flip belly down, do 1 dive bomber. (30 seconds – 1 minute)
Start by resting 30-60 seconds between each section of the workout and then work your way up to doing them one after the other without any rest (3 minutes total). Repeat for another cycle totaling 6 minutes as your condition improves. Complete multiple sets if you have the time and energy!
Enjoy!
