Embark on the “Seven Kings” Challenge: A Royal Rumble of Fitness
Enter the arena with the “Seven Kings” Workout of the Day (WOD), a regal yet relentless test of your physical and mental endurance, exclusively at the Academy of Self Defense in Santa Clara. This workout, crafted for those who dare to rule their fitness realm, is structured around three grueling five-minute rounds, each followed by a well-deserved one-minute rest. Within these rounds, you’ll strive to complete as many cycles as possible of seven high-intensity exercises, each demanding tribute in sets of seven.
The Royal Decree: Max Cycles of Seven Exercises
The “Seven Kings” demands tribute in the form of seven exercises, designed to test your endurance, strength, agility, and resolve:
- 7 4 Punch Sprawls: Begin with a four-punch combo followed by a sprawl, merging striking precision with the explosive power of a burpee.
- 7 Push-Ups: Standard push-ups to test your upper body strength and endurance.
- 7 Jump Squats: Explosive lower-body movement to build power in your legs and glutes.
- All Kick on Bag: Unleash your fury on the bag with a diverse array of kicks until the next exercise.
- 7 Mountain Climbers (3 Count): A cardio blast that also targets your core; maintain a high knee drive for three counts per leg.
- 7 Sit-Ups: Core-strengthening exercise to build abdominal muscle and endurance.
- 7 Russian Twists (4 Count): Engage your obliques with a twist to each side, counting to four with each set of twists.
