My Dad and I are finally finished with WEEK 6!
For this workout, we decided to do it on Sunday since I was filming a Spartan Race around the Nashville area. So even though it was a rest day, I didn't technically take a rest day since I clocked in at running almost 9 miles chasing athletes with my Gopros =)
Today's workout was Cardio 2 and Core 2. This was considered my POST SPARTAN RACE WORKOUT. I try to stay active the day after filming races so that my body stays familiar with movement instead of staying stagnant. It keeps me sharper and stronger.

I do not try to workout hard or anything, instead I mostly modify and sometimes just do stretch and mobility. After doing the 9 miles, my gout started flaring up again on top of a little soreness, so I decided to really take it easy, and just modify about 50-60% of the time. Here are the modifications that I did:
For the most part, I took away anything that was considered high-impact, and just did the alternative.
- Since my right foot is where my gout is flaring, I did single leg burpees on my left leg.
- I didn't squat as low on some reps since my quads were still burning from yesterday.
- For the switch kicks, I just did leg lifts to ensure that I didn't put anymore pressure on my right foot.
- I didn't really modify the mountain climbers, I just didn't do all the reps. With mountain climbers, there isn't too much pressure on your feet since you are in a plank push up position.
- I didn't go as high on the "high-knees" I went a bit slower and took pressure off my right foot.
These were just some of the modifications that I did to keep it safe. I still managed to get in a great workout as always. We did the Core 2 Workout right after, which is not shown in the video.
