LIFE ISN'T ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF. LIFE IS ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF.

Mile, Circuit, Mile Combo

Running?  Yes, running.  I am finally posting a workout that involves running.  Sweet, huh?  I'm not a complete meat head that only lifts weights. 

This workout will ease you into running and won't scare you away from the trails or track.  It is intended to get you started logging miles but switch it up too.  We are working on endurance, cardio and overall body conditioning with this one.  The most important part of the workout is the general strength circuit in between the first mile and the second mile.  Make sure you DO NOT rest between the exercises, sets & reps.  The continual movement will make you sweat more, increase your heart rate and help with conditioning your body.  Ultimately, you will get more out of this workout with minimal rest.  Rest is important for some workouts but this one does not utilize rest...sorry!  We are focusing on going stronger for longer and need to push boundaries in training.

Diversity in your workouts is great!  Keep your body guessing peeps.  You don't want to acclimate your body to doing the same old routine because then your fitness will plateau.  Find ways to work the same muscles but in different movements.  Do research on fitness sites and then research some more!  Compile a library of exercise to pick and choose from when designing a workout.  This keeps it interesting.  Nobody likes to get bored!

peace & love
