Workout for Sunday, March 7

Running intervals…

Couple of options. If you have a track, know the distance, or have a treadmill:

Run 400m (1/4 mile)
Walk or rest for one minute
Run 800m (1/2 mile)
Walk or rest for two minutes
Repeat 2 more times. Running should be all-out efforts.

If you don't know your distances:

Run 2 minutes
Walk or rest for one minute
Run 4 minutes
Walk or rest for two minutes
Repeat 2 more times. Again, running should be all-out efforts.

Workout for Thursday, March 3

Planks!

Try to hold each of the following planks for 2 minutes:

Front plank
Right plank
Left plank


After the planks, spend about 5 minutes working on double unders. Record how many you are able to get in.

I know planks are not much fun, but they are an amazing core strengthening exercise. I try to have us do them just once a month.

Workout for Monday, March 1

This will be a tough one. You'll be hanging on to dumbbells for 300 reps total. I'm suggesting 10# dumbbells, but use your own judgment. You'll use one of the dumbbells for the jumping goblet squats. The video just shows goblet squats--no jumping. I'm looking for a very SLIGHT jump--just get off the ground. These are tough--and will take lots of energy. Let me know how you like them!

10 DB push presses
50 Jumping DB goblet squats
20 DB push presses
40 Jumping DB goblet squats
30 DB push presses
30 Jumping DB goblet squats
40 DB push presses
20 Jumping DB goblet squats
50 DB push presses
10 Jumping DB goblet squats
