The Fifty Ten Protocol
There are 4 rounds. In 50 seconds, do as many repetitions of the 1st exercise (high knee jumps) as you can. Take a 10 second rest before moving on to the 2nd (wall hand walkout), 3rd (1 leg hip bridge) and 4th (invisible chair) exercises. Once you've completed all 4 exercises, you've covered Round 1. Do it again 3 more times to complete Rounds 2, 3 and 4. Total workout time is 16 minutes.
Scoring your Fifty Ten workout
Write down the number of reps your performed for each exercise on Round 1 only. For example, if you manage to do 20 high knee jumps, 10 wall hand walkouts, 40 one leg hip bridges and 30 seconds of invisible chair on the 1st round, then type in 20, 10, 40 and 30 on to the top right corner of this page. Click on "Post your results!" to record your score, this will post your numbers on your wall. You can hide them from your friends if you want, but I encourage you to share your numbers as a motivator. Keep your numbers handy, you will need them for Day 27. If you really don't want to share your scores online, save them on a spreadsheet or write them down on a piece of paper.
1. High Knee Jumps
This one‘s a killer. It‘ll get your quads burning and your heart racing. Start in a squat position with your hands by your sides. Simultaneously throw your hands up and jump as high as you can. As you reach the apex of your jump, bring knees up so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and slap your hands on your knees. Fall down to a squat and start over. Keep your back straight through the whole move. Exhale as you jump and in-hale as you land. Take breaks when you need to. Add a score of 1 every time you slap your knees.

2. Wall Hand Walkouts
Find a wall and put your back to it. Set yourself in a plank po-sition with your hands on the floor and your feet on the wall. Keep your arms straight. Your body should be parallel to the floor. This is your starting position. Now walk back with your hands and feet until your body is almost vertical against the floor. Don‘t go too far or you‘ll lose your balance. Keep your body straight the whole time. Walk back down until your body is horizontal again. Breathe regularly. Add a score of 1 every time you perform a full cycle.
Alternative: If you find the move too hard, simply put yourself in a handstand and hold the position for as long as possible. Score it like a plank. |
