Alternative Workout - Use the Equipment that you've got. "Upper Body Blowout"

So, as part of our initiative to get students engaged in all types of physical activity, we recently utilized basketball wheelchairs.  These wheelchairs are modified for high performance activity.

After we had finished the programming, I had a Wednesday workout to plan and my students were looking/feeling a little burnt by how hard they had been working.  They were looking for change, even if it took them to an even more challenging place.
We incorporated the chairs into a simple circuit:

3 Laps of the gym. Roughly 60 - 80 meters.  Once they completed their laps, they would go to one of the stations listed below, complete the exercise and go onto the next set of 3 laps.  Repeat.
The goal was to hit 3 rounds.

Push Ups x 15
Toes to Bar x 5
War Machines x 10
Chin Ups x 5
Lunges x 10/s
Bench Dips x 40
Squats x 30
V Ups x 20

It was an incredible workout and put a lot of emphasis on technique rather than just power and speed.  There was a lot of sweat and a lot of smiles!!
