Training your legs unilaterally is a great way to even out strength imbalances between legs and work the muscles that make you a faster sprinter, a higher jumper, and all around more athletic.SWOD:
Weighted Step Ups max set of 8 reps (4 each leg)
Metcon: (Borrowed From Diablo CrossFit)
Every minute on the minute for 10:00:
-4 chin ups
-8 push ups
-12 walking lunges (alternating R/L, i.e. 6 per leg)
WOD Tips:
For the SWOD, place a loaded barbell on your back and step up on box that is tall enough that when you place your foot on the box, the top of your thigh is at 90 degrees. Step up on the box so both feet are on the box then step back down. Try to keep your chest up right. Do not allow your torso to fall and do not let your lead knee fall inward. Keep adding weight to the bar until you can no longer complete the set with good form. MID-LINE STABILIZATION!!!!!
For the metcon, the goal is to achieve at least 10:00 getting all the exercises done within the 60 seconds time period. If you are successful for all 10:00, start adding one rep to each exercise (two for the lunges) for each additional minute.

For example, starting at minute 10:00, do 5 pull ups, 9 push ups, 14 lunges. At minute 11:00, 6 pull ups, 10 push ups, and 16 lunges. Minute 12:00, 7 pull ups, 11 push ups, and 18 lunges ,etc. Continue until you are unable to complete the designated number of reps in the 60 seconds allotted. If pull up space is limited the movements can be done out of order.

Look's like pullup space will not be limited for much longer..Yeah!
