WOD Notes: Click here for a video explanation of today’s workout. If you are unable to run, perform a cardio exercise of your choice for approx. 4-3-2-1 minutes. Weighted fast walking, row, bike, or step ups would all be fine. For the DUs, it’s a lot of reps! Modify to 1/2 reps (25-50-75-100) or even 1/5 DU attempts (10-20-30-40).  If you sub single unders, the standard is 2x reps, but for today we’d also take 1.5x or even 1x. Post to comments: Total time, modifications. Also let us know how many sets it took you to complete the cash out!

Pull-up Program:  We’ve had a few people with access to pull up bars request a program to start improving their pull up capacity, and Ricky already had one in the works!  You can see the plan here broken into level 1 (working on your first pullup), level 2 (1 to 5 pull ups in a row) and level 3 (already more than 5 strict pull ups).  You may have to get creative and use partners to assist where bands were listed, but it should be a great way to work on improving while you’re home!

Schedule Notes: Join us for a Saturday morning WOD at 9:00am on Zoom! Reserve your spot in Wellness Living, then click here when you’re ready to join class. Please mute your mics when class begins, and have your own music source if you want to listen to music!

Community Notes: Happy birthday Peter S! And happy belated birthday Tom G!

FUCS Challenge: Results are in from week 2! Congrats to the following athletes who completed at least 4 workouts during the 2nd week of the challenge (3/25-3/31). Please let us know if we missed you!

  1. Nicole W.

    Thanks for the pull up plan Ricky! I’m excited to get at it!

  2. Joe "Thats what she said" S

    Serious? I have done 18 of the 20 workouts. This is a conspiracy against bald people.

  3. Ricky

    Mr. Sikora, I certainly don’t doubt you’ve done 18 workouts…but you gotta post your results to the blog every day to be in contention.

  4. Curtis

    So I’m going to replace Celine Dion with Ani Difranco bc i can’t stand Celine Dion and i love Ani Difranco

    1. John

      Solid choice Curtis, Ani is two of the 4 concerts I’ve been to in my life.

  5. Ceil

    I did this. Slow and steady was my goal so I didn’t time it as usual. Did 2x DU and runs were a little longer. We won’t discuss the plank😂😂

  6. Maura Quigley

    Lost 3 layers and a lot of sweat in the process, but I made it through! Shout out to Averie for encouraging me to try an ICA workout this week. I’ve been having a rough time motivating myself since our rugby season was cancelled, but I’m grateful she encouraged me because this workout was just what I needed to kick my butt into gear and start working towards getting in shape for next season!

    1. Nikki

      Way to go Maura! The first step is often the hardest. Keep up the good work! And great job Averie for the encouragement 🙂

  7. Frank N

    1. Curtis

      Wasn’t it though.

  27. Kirsten

  28. Kirsten

    If you didn’t take a pic, does it even count?! I kinda look like death but I also just did 1000 SU and ran a marathon (it felt like a marathon at least 😆) so, death is about right lol

  29. Cate S

    19:48
    Don’t have a jump rope so did some jump up/step up combination on the curb

  30. Curtis

    33:05 RX. My rope thanks you for the cardboard suggestion, my arms after 500 dubs, not so much.😁😁😁😁

  31. Rob R.

    32:35

    Singles not doubles.

  32. Sean B

    Little project my dad and I took on today. 24” box.

  33. Erin

    So I may regret signing up for the Concept 2 April Fool’s Challenge. Row 1000m per day x date through 4/15. Today was 4000m, so I did this little WOD in my basement:
    3 RFT of:
    1000m row
    50 sit-ups
    40 air squats
    30 KB deadlifts (70#)
    20 DB hang clean (35#) “not of the power variety”
    10 push ups
    After 3 rounds, immediately finish w/1000m row.
    42:29

    Surprisingly, my rows got better with each round, but the basement kept getting warmer.

  34. Kehl

    21:57 Rx
    Used a rope I bought at Lidl for $2.57. It’s pretty awesome.

  35. Averie

    28:23 – “jump to curb”

  36. BWat

    Row + SUs, forgot to start the clock, so no idea on the time.

    Cash out: that was a thing. I am seriously questioning whether you’ve been trapped inside for too long if you’re taking suggestions from Rick.

    1. Ricky

      BWat! So good to see your name back up on the blog. Way to get after it! And our old friend Rick sure does have good taste in music. Genuinely surprised the song wasn’t Black Betty by Ram Jam.

  37. Shawn C

  57. Ryan H

    And what the heck was this 5 minute song ???? 😂

    1. ICA admin
