For a ladder workout you will increase the number of reps for one exercise and decrease the number of reps for the second exercise. For this workout you will complete 1 Burpee and 10 Skaters in each direction, then 2 Burpees, 9 Skaters and so on down to 10 Burpees and 1 Skater. Start a timer when you begin the workout for your check-in!
Ideally you will have little to no rest between exercises but if you need to take a break, do it! Catch your breath until you feel ready and get back to it. Perform the exercises quickly but maintain good form.
There are variations of each exercise to meet you at your current fitness level. Challenge yourself, even if you can only do one rep of the advanced version, give it a try! Next time, you may be able to do two or three!
Don’t forget to warm up and cool down to prevent injury!
Burpees
10 Reps, down to 1 Rep
If you choose to do the lunge instead of burpee, complete lunges on both sides to equal one rep!
Skaters
1 Rep each direction up to 10 Reps
