Travel WOD "Susan" 2.23.2018

"You can’t turn back the clock. But you can wind it up again." – Bonnie Prudden

Fitness can be found anywhere. Even a desolate beach!

Our next travel WOD comes from Tim over Fit At Midlife. Tim is a CrossFit and functional fitness enthusiast who is passionate about spreading real world, practical fitness, and exercise and nutrition methods.

“Susan” is a bodyweight, no equipment classic. First, we’ve got a short, but intense run of 200m. Great for an intense, peak-power output sprint, or you can take a slower pace if desired. Next comes 10 squats (with bodyweight only) and 10 push-ups. This is a great full body workout. You feel great about ½ way through – and then not so much! Let's get to it, and save this one for your arsenal next time you travel. Double up the rep scheme if you want!

Recap

Why is ‘Susan’ one of Tim’s favorites? For a lot of reasons. How about simplicity? No equipment needed and all you really need is a short distance to run – or a treadmill. There’s not a huge learning curve – can you run? Air squat? Do a push-up? And talk about time-efficient – you’ll be done quick – but it’s also not an easy workout if you really push the pace.

And lastly – it’s home and travel-friendly. Can’t make it to the gym? Susan is a great go-to for almost any location. Want to double the work? Do it!

And wherever you choose to do this workout, it’ll be perfect in a hotel with a treadmill, or anywhere with a short distance you can run. And that makes it great for business travelers. By the way, ‘Susan’ is one of the dozens of no-equipment, home and hotel friendly WODs that will be served up by the Fit At Midlife Home and Travel WOD Generator.

Tim originally created this to keep in shape despite a packed business travel schedule – but his greater motivation was to share it with the community. It’s a free web page, nothing to download, no app to install and it works on Windows, Mac, smartphone, or tablet. No ads, no pop-ups, and you’ll be up and running in seconds.
