Crossfit Training you can do at home

In this section Head Coach Russell answers questions we receive from those who join our Crossfit classes or from our Crossfit Kyoto members.

 

Q: What kind of training can I do to have better core strength?

 

A: To be able to transfer the power of the legs to the bar in a squat we need anti-extension and anti-flexion exercises, in other words, training to keep the spine stable. A classic anti-extension exercise is the plank.

 


We suggest starting with 3 rounds of 20 seconds every 90 seconds. It would look like this:
20 sec plank
70 sec rest
20 sec plank
70 sec rest
20 sec plank
70 sec rest

Try this 3 times per week.

 

If you find it easy you can increase to 3 rounds of 30 seconds every 90 seconds. In this way the work increases and the rest decreases.

 

You can also try adding more rounds if you have time.
3 rounds of 30 sec work takes only 3 min 30 sec.
5 round of 30 sec work takes 6 min 30 sec to complete.

 

If you find you are comfortable with 3 days per week then add another day to your schedule.

 

If you want constant variation, each session could be a different hold.
1st day: plank
2nd day: arch hold
3rd day: hollow hold

 

If you are interested in a more individualised routine, feel free to book a personal training consultation with Russell or Tatsuro. They are happy to give you more specific recommendations based on your specific goals, time availability, condition and limitations.
