Sprint workout


Sprint days are absolutely my favorite training sessions. There's nothing better than sprinting your ass off to be better conditioned and fit. Sprints are great for fat loss, you lose weight and body fat much faster with sprinting than with a steady state aerobic run or jog. Sprinting builds muscles (compare long distance marathoners to track & field sprinters) and also increases the power of your fast twitch muscle fibers. Another aspect of your fitness that sprints enhance is your endurance and conditioning, making it possible for you to last longer in your activity and work more efficiently. Lastly, another benefit of sprints is that it doesn't and shouldn't take up much time. Sprinting for an intense 20 minutes ensures fat loss, muscle building, staying fit and healthy. When sprinting, quality over volume should be the focus. 

 Knowing just some of the benefits of sprinting, its time to get your beast mode on in a workout! Here is the main set and finisher that me and my training partners recently conquered! I hope you enjoy it!

Main set 1: 10 times non-stop: Focus - Consistency
10 pushups
40 yard sprint
10 burpees

Main Set 2: 10 Times non-stop: Focus - Explosiveness
:10 wall sprint
10 yard sprint
10 yard jog back

Finisher: Parachute Sprints * sprint chute needed.
50 yard chute sprint
- reps depend on how many people in your group. Each person leads/wears chute once or however many rotations that is decided. 
- the goal: Person with chute must keep up or beat training partners not wearing chute. 

Visualize the goal. Embrace the path. Conquer the struggle.

Playground workout


Today's fun workout on the playground! 

10 Hanging Leg Lifts 
10 Pull-ups 
5 Climb n Slides 
10 Bench Jump Overs 
10 Slide Incline Push-ups 
10 Slide Decline Push-ups 
10 Bulgarian Split Squats Right Leg
10 Bulgarian Split Squats Left Leg

4 Rounds (4th round double up reps)

A playground is a great place to get in a workout. Whether it is a group of you and your friends or playtime with your little one, a playground has a lot of structures to do different bodyweight exercises. One of my favorite exercises is the "Climb and Slide" where you find different points in the play structure to climb to the highest point and slide down the closest slide. Repeat for however many reps. 

Here is a tip to make the workout a bit more challenging. Try to complete a round under a certain amount of time or for time and try to beat your previous time! If you don't beat it, it doesn't count! Enjoy the workout.

Visualize the goal. Embrace the path. Conquer the struggle.
