Workout of the day

5 2-minute rounds of:
20 dumbbell box step-ups
Max reps of dumbbell push presses
Rest 2-minutes between rounds

W: 35lb dumbbells, 16in box
M: 50lb dumbbells, 20in box

This couplet combines a lower body exercise and upper body exercise together that will greatly challenge stamina, balance, coordination, and cardiovascular endurance. Each exercise is however not exclusively lower or upper body dominate, as holding the dumbbells for step-ups will still be challenging on the shoulders and grip, while the the push presses will use a great amount of hip drive to assist the arms in the press to overhead. The work and rest interval are 1:1 meaning each round should come out to close to the same score every time. Scale the load and box height to assure similar or positive splits for the total push presses completed. 

Workout at home

Use water jugs, dumbbells, or soup cans. To decrease difficulty reduce the height of the step used.
