Today's Training: Get Creative!

Today did a little training improv. I wanted to do hill sprints which is more usual Tuesday training but decided to change things up just a tad. The parking garage at my gym turns out to be an ideal venue for sprint intervals. Check it out! Warmup: Arm circles, leg swings, march series, skip series Workout: 3 x 3 garage "hill" sprints--sprint incline ramps w/recovery of walking flat parking areas between ramps. 4 min. recovery between each set. 9 total sprints. Depth box jumps 3 x 5 Med ball work: Med ball wall dribbles 2 x 15 sec. @ 4 lbs.; Med ball chest pass 2 x 12 @ 6 lbs.; Med ball side toss 2 x 8 @ 6 lbs; Med ball soccer throw 2 x 8 @ 6 lbs. Comments: Turns out I discovered a new training venue with my improv today. The ramps took about 20 sec. to sprint the ramps and about 1 min. to walk the "flats" so it turned out to be a 1:3 work to rest ratio. Good to remember for future reference. Train hard and train smart! http://fitnesstogether.com/media for our website and all of our links
