Dan A Getting your daily required 10 minutes for the Whole Life Challenge is easy on the days you come to P3, but what about the days that you don’t make it to the gym. What are you doing to fulfill this requirement?
Adding intervals of high intensity to your normal routine are a great way to change up what you do every day. Instead of simply going for a 10 minute jog around the neighborhood, try breaking up those 10 minutes into shorter pieces where you sprint for 1 minute, stop, do 25 air squats and repeat for 10 minutes. What do you do if it is raining and you don’t want to go for a jog? Practice your handstand against the wall for 10 minutes. Pick two bodyweight movements and do 8 minutes of Tabata work. The possibilities are limitless. Don’t make excuses, ask for suggestions if you are at a loss.
In the comment section add your favorite “at-home” workout that you have been using to fulfill this requirement.
SKILL/STRENGTH
Overhead Squats
WOD
12 C2B Pull-Ups
18 KB Swings
12 Burpees
3 Rounds – Rest 2 minutes between rounds – Not For Time

Mobility + dedicated skill work is a great way to do the “at home” thing.
If I’m feeling tight or sore in a certain area, I type that body part into the search function on “mobilitywod.com” and follow an episode. That + some stretching usually gets the 10min pretty easy.
Follow that up with a skill that needs extra work (DUs, HSPU or holds, pistols, etc.) and it can be a pretty productive 20-25min.
Or one could always do the infamous 7min AMRAP burpee workout??
I was down to the wire and had to make up a work out late last night. Did 10 pushups, 15 squats, 20 lunges for ten minutes. Bam!
Anthony – http://www.mobilitywod.com is almost like cheating when it comes to meeting the mobilization requirement, K-Star hands you 10 minutes in a video. Add 10 minutes of skill work to that and you are good for 2 points
Trupti – Gettin’ it done w/o excuses. It doesn’t have to be fancy, you just have to do something. Nice work!
It is good to hear about Trupti’s workout. I have only been counting “crossfit” type workouts and figured anything less was cheating. Needless to say that when I work a 12 hour shift at the hospital, those types of workouts are rare. Although I have been tempted to count lifting all those 200 plus pound patients!!!! After reading the blog, followed by her workout and Dan’s response here, I realize there are other options for me and that I really can get a work out in no matter what.
My 3 fallback workouts this past week:
1) Sprint with my dog Sammy as fast and far as she is willing, usually comes out to about 1 block. Walk back to the house, perform 25 squats and 25 pushups. Repeat 2-3 times, wish I could say it was my choice but it is based off how much energy Sammy has.
2) Max time handstand hold (usually about 1 min) then perform 30 situps. Repeat for 4-5 times.
3) 40 Minute walk with Amy and Sammy
I haven’t ever timed how long the first two workouts actually last but in my opinion they more than fulfill the requirement for the WLC.
