Get Sloshed

Build a slosh pipe and have some fun with a killer core workout.

Get a 9' length of 4" PVC and two end caps at Home Depot, Lowe's or some other place that supplies PVC. One of the end caps should be the threaded, removable kind so that you can adjust the water level if you ever want to. The other one is just a cap that will be glued on. Secure the fixed end cap on the PVC. Fill it half full with water. Secure the removable end cap. Now try to lift the slosh pipe, Zercher style, and try to walk around with it. Try to do walking lunges. Try to press it overhead. Try to walk around with it overhead. WAY harder than it sounds. Great core workout!

Have fun!

Sorry for being away from this blog for a while.. I decided that instead of posting a workout that we're doing at the gym, I'll use this blog to post a workout for people to do while traveling or at home. These workouts will be mostly bodyweight exercises mixed with some kettlebell exercises (you can substitute dumbbells, but i'd recommend buying some kettlebells) and some exercises will require a pullup bar or Jungle Gym

5 Rounds. Get through round as fast as possible maintaining good form. 1:00 minute break between rounds:

Standard/(Advanced)
--------------------------
10 Hindu Pushups/(25 Hindu Pushups)
25 Hindu Squats/(100 Hindu Squats)
10 Sitting Tuck/(25 Jackknife)
10 Body Row/(10 Pullup)
