Mitch Rapp's Winter Workout

Some of my most popular posts have been about the type of training that Mitch Rapp would do. Today, I'm writing a winter workout worthy of Mitch Rapp (I'm really looking forward to the book coming out in February and the movie in development).



Equipment and Space:
  • Two medium weight dumbbells (you should be about to only do 12-15 overheaded presses with them)
  • Jump Rope
  • A room with a high enough ceiling to jump rope.
Workout:

  • Warm-up
  • Set a boxing timer on 30 second intervals or get a kitchen timer and set it on a running clock (stopwatch)
  • Do Thrusters for :30
  • Immediately, do Romanian Deadlift-Sumo Rows for :30
  • Immediately, jump rope for :30
  • Rest for 1 minute
  • Repeat 8 times (20:00 total)
  • Cool-down and stretch
Benefits:
  • You get a full-body strength session.
  • Your heart rate stays high for 20:00 for a great cardio session.
  • You develop agility and skill by jumping rope when you're tired.
  • You don't get bored because you keep moving.

What other indoor winter workouts are worthy of Mitch Rapp?
