Rest Day - Check out Hooverball

Take a few minutes to read about Hooverball. Basically, it's volleyball played with a 4 or 6 pound medicine ball. I hear it's a killer workout. It's a perfect CrossFit activity!

Here's one link http://www.hooverassociation.org/hooverball.html

Do a google search, you'll find plenty of additional info.

We have a handful of us ready to try it out. We'll post the time and date next week.

Hoover-ball was played by teams of 2-4 players with a six-pound medicine ball over a net eight feet high on a court similar to one used for tennis. The game was scored exactly like tennis, and played in similar fashion. The server throws the ball. The opponent must catch it on the fly and immediately return it, attempting to put it where it cannot be reached and returned. The side that misses the ball or throws it out of bounds loses the point.

"It is a distinctly strenuous affair, best understood as exactly like tennis except that the net is eight feet high, there are no rackets and the ball is a hefty medicine ball weighing six pounds." The New York Times

Join us, what's the worst that can happen. I'm sure we will go to Nuevo Acapulco for Margaritas after this one!!!

Hola from Miami

Warm up: Shadow boxing - three 2 minute rounds, 30 seconds rest between rounds, add kicks and knee strikes in 3rd round

12 rounds of

10 pushups
40 yard sprint
1 minute rest

Before you start the warmup, step off 40 yards and place some sort of marker at each end point.

Start at one end of the 40 yard stretch you marked off. Drop and do 10 strict pushups, chest to deck, full range, then immediately bolt into a full, all out sprint for 40 yards. Rest/recover for one full minute. Drop and do 10 more strict pusups and sprint 40 yards back to the first marker and rest for a full minute. Repeat. 12 rounds total.

Sprint as fast as you can, don't just jog fast. Hard forward push off the landing foot, high knees, pumping arms, running like you are fleeing for your life. It's only 40 yards - give it everything you have!

Tell us how you liked this one, post to Comments.
