What's up everyone! I hope everyones week has been fantastic! So, yesterday I took the day off to gets some hiking in over in Oregon. It was a little rainy, but the trail was beautiful. I've been doing a lot of my training for Rainier on the treadmil, but I feel that the only way to actually get stronger at hiking is to get out and do it. The same follows for any activity your involved in. You can workout for hours in the gym, but if your training doesn't mimick in some way the activity that your going to be participating in, your wasting your effort. Todays workout is another timed high intensity one. There will be five different exercises, each exercise will have 8 rounds of 20 sec of work and 10 sec of rest. Today you will do them in a circuit though. So, do the first exercise for 20 sec, rest 10 sec, then do the next exercise until youve completed 20 min. Make sure to go as quickly as you can, while maintaing good form. Keep track of how many reps you were able to complete with each exercise.
Double Squat Jump(holding a medicine ball or basketball in hand over head, squat down quickly hitting the ball into the ground. Come up slightly, re squat then jump up and off the ground)
Supine Row (Using either a squat bar or a broom handle held over two chairs. Lay under bar so chest is underneath and feet are out straight. Pull body towards bar making sure to keep body in a straight line and squeeze shoulder blades together)
Plyo Lunges
Single Leg Burpee to Pushup(Alternate with every pushup)
Mountain Climbers
