I think every holiday should be celebrated with a special workout…And of course food…But definitely a special workout.

Ryan and I every Fourth of July have gone out and done workouts outside at playgrounds.

This year we had our own indoor playground as well as a ton of friends around to play with us!

Celebrate your fourth in style and try our 4th of July Team Workout Challenge!

TEAM WORKOUT CHALLENGE

Set a timer for 5 minutes. Complete as many rounds of the exercise as possible in the 5 minutes. Try to get a team of 3-5 so that you can alternate turns during the 5 minutes. Only one team member may work at a time. Record your score.

#1:
5 minute Rower (record meters completed by team)

#2:
5 minute Bag Pulls (record number of pulls…This can also be back rows)

#3:
5 minutes Stagecoach Battling Rope Waves (record the number of waves that go all the way down)

#4:
5 minutes Partner Sled Pull (your partner stands on slider and you walk backward pulling them. Each 50ft length is one rep)

#5:
5 minutes Monkey Bars (every length you complete is a rep. You can also replace this with a hanging ab exercise or even an inverted row.)

#6:
5 minutes Slam Bagz Burpees (every burpee is a rep…Press the bag overhead then bring it down to the ground and jump back then jump back up and press overhead)

#7:
5 minutes Sledgehammer (count the number of slams…Can also be med ball slams if you don’t have a hammer)

And I’m also proud to announce that one of my good friends has joined me at Redefining Strength. Jeff has launched his own training program The Resistance Training!

He is absolutely amazing and I can’t be happier for him. I’ve never had someone smile so nicely at me as I just wanted to roll over on the ground and not move for the next hour.

He tailors all of his workouts to meet your specific needs and he knows how to push you just the right amount to get results.

So if you have a chance, check him out!
