Where Science Meets Fitness

No matter what your current fitness level or former athletic experience, you can learn to train like an Olympic-caliber athlete. I am Erin Borchard, a former elite springboard/platform diver (NCAA Champion and multi-year All-American at Stanford University, former member of the US National Diving Team, and two-time competitor at the US Olympic Team Trials), specializing in personal and small group training sessions. I am also a Phi Beta Kappa student with a B.A. in Human Biology; my strong science background is an ever present influence shaping and changing my training philosophy.

I want to help you push yourself to YOUR maximum...you'll be shocked to find the true athlete living inside of you.

3 Mini Met Con Blasts: 3 x 30 of 3


Your goal is to complete all three of these mini workouts in one session.  Complete each metabolic conditioning blast as quickly as possible (NO rest!).  Your rest comes between each of the three separate workouts. Each mini workout is designed to hit different parts of the body; that way, you won't fatigue any one body part and you should be able to move from one exercise to another without breaks.

If you are new to working out or are used to a lower level of intensity, aim to complete the three mini-workouts over a three day span, one per day...also, feel free to lower the prescribed weight loads to something you are more comfortable handling over high repetitions.

3 ROUNDS OF:
*30 x Box Jump
*30 x Stiff Leg Deadlift High Pull (15 lb. DBs or 55 lb. barbell)
*30 x Push-Up

3 ROUNDS OF:
*30 x Double-Under (or 120 x Regular Jumps of Rope)
*30 x Push Press (15 lb. DBs or 55 lb. barbell)
*30 x Lunge Jump (15 x ea. leg)

3 ROUNDS OF:
*30 x Overhead Squat (taught towel or jump rope or 55 lb. barbell)
*30 x Jumping Pull-Ups
*30 x Single Leg Squat (15 x R leg; 15 x L leg)
