Crossfit H2O Polo: Pre Season

Time is almost up to get in shape for the season! If you've been slacking this summer or if you want to get a jump on getting fit for the season I will post a daily WOD (workout of the day) based on bodyweight exercises you can do at home or at a park or gym if you don't have a pull-up bar.



These workouts will be broken into 3 levels, level 3 being the hardest and level 1 the easiest. The purpose of the three levels is to vary the intensity required for the different levels of athletic ability. If you are an incoming freshman and you can do the level 3 workout, great; more power to you. But go easy until you know what you can do. It is not efficient to go all out on day 1 and need 3 days of recovery because you are overly soar!

The WODs are based on the Crossfit idea of forging elite fitness, functional training and constant variance. Checkout www.crossfit.com if you have never heard of Crossfit! Also send me tips and videos and links to add to the blog to support the water polo community! Send to jphillips@norcaldesigns.com

Invest in a doorway pull-up bar for around $30 at your local sports store. Or for a better solution check out:

Tip from Mr. Sean Cronan:
"Or bro.. Just have them do what Aaron and I did.. Get a metal bar at home depot with threads on each end and then 2 90degree ends. Bolt them into a header in the garage. Cheap and easy and a good project for pops and son."
