Great Conditioning Workout
So since it was raining like crazy here, I headed to the gym today. I wanted to do something different, so I put this little circuit together. It was HARD and I was a sweaty mess afterwards. I finished it off with 30 minutes of incline walking(10%, 3.5 mph – 15% 3.3.mph).
Edited to add: I also did some glute work. 3 sets each of Reverse hypers (30lbs), Quadruple Hip Extensions(30 lbs per leg), Band/Weighted Hip Thrusts(red band + 20 lbs)
This workout is a great conditioning/athletic workout:
-10 minute jog on the treadmill: 6.5mph 1% incline
-15 High Box Jumps(the height will vary from person to person, but i used about a 3 foot box…use whatever you are comfortable with, but make it hard enough that you really have to use a lot of force to jump on top. If you fall and break your skull, don’t blame me :))
-15 Pull ups to burpees(jump to pull up, and do a slow negative down, then perform a burpee. I was asked what a burpee is, and it is hard to explain, so here is a video to show you what the exercise looks like with the pull up) Maybe someday I can be hardcore and do 100 of them. I see a goal in the future
-50 pound sled drive up and back(i don’t know the distance that i do, but i would assume it’s 20-25 yds each way??)
-5 minute jog at 6.5mph 1% incline
repeat the circuit 3 times. If you’re not sweating, you are in ridiculously good shape and need to start training on top of mount everest
It was very good, and my legs were starting to give out on the last set of the high box jumps.
I will be doing this more often, you can be sure
Awesome! My heart is racing just reading this!
