Today's Training session: Total Body

Today was another total body session but with a little less volume and intensity as I have the Maxwell KB cert. course coming up this weekend in NYC. Caution is the better part of valor when it comes to training sometimes as well.

Warmup: foam rolling, wall slides, ankle mobs, Indian clubs, sidelying t-spine rotation, low box hip flexor, 1/2 kneeling adductor

Workout: Mini-circuit: chins/pullups 5 x 12; TRX suspended lunges 5 x 10; TRX suspended 1 leg pushups-5 x 17,19, 15, 15, 25; KB swings 5 x 12 @ 32 kg; Landmine "1/2 moons" 4 x 12
KB Suitcase carries 2 x 50 yds. @ 32 kg.

Comments; Good session; challenging but not too draining. Will need all I have this weekend to survive Maxwell's challenge.

Today's Training Session: Intervals

Today was a "conditioning" day on the turf.

Warmup: leg swings, lateral squat, march series, toe walks/heel walks, skip series

Workout: 10 x 70 meters w/ 1 minute recovery

Comments: Right ankle a little stiff to begin but loosened up after several repeats. Had to finish in the drizzle....needless to say, no company on the field!

Today's Training Session: Total Body

I am starting to post at least some of my training sessions on this blog as it will show some samples of what type of training I believe is applicable and useful for Masters athletes. If I were training someone I would prescribe and design something similar.

Warmup: foam rolling, tabletop hamstring, tabletop hip rotators, wall slides, ankle mobs, 1/2 kneeling adductor, 1/2 kneeling hip flexor, Indian clubs

Workout: Mini-circuit: Chins/pullups- 5 x 12, TRX suspended lunges 5 x 10 @ 16 kg., pushups 5 x 25, KB swings 5 x 15 @ 32 kg., Rip Trainer overhead chops 4 x 10
Then: KB Farmers walk 3 x 70 yds. @ 32 kg.

Comments: This session had an upper body push, upper body pull, hip dominant lower body, quad dominant lower body, and two trunk/core exercises. That seems to cover just about everything.
