Street Run with Playground Workouts

Today’s 3 mile run included 2 stops at 2 different Playgrounds along my route for a mini body weight circuit; I had no plan in mind, just winged it today. This workout took about 45min to complete, and was pretty fun!

My warm up begins at the house with a total body roll out with a foam roller for no more than 5 minutes followed by a brisk walk for about a quarter of a mile to the start of my 3 mile run.

Monkey Bar Swings!
Low Hang Leg Raises were much harder than I thought! I barely got 10! I must do more of this!
Inverted Rows
More Monkey Bar Swings!
Hanging Knee Tuck to a Leg Raise, I really liked these.
Broad Jumps….because they suck but are so good for you!
Tricep Extensions

Once I’ve reached the end of my loop, I’ll cool down with a quarter mile walk back home then static stretch for 5 to 10 minutes.

I LOVE this style of training and will post more with different exercises, so stay tuned for more workout ideas next week!

Have a great day!

Street Run with Circuits across bridges

Today’s 3 mile run included 3 stops at 3 different bridges along my route for a mini body weight circuit; Walking Lunges down the bridge, Side Shuffle back, and 25 Tricep Incline Push Ups. This workout took about 45min to complete.

My warm up begins at the house with a total body roll out with a foam roller for no more than 5 minutes followed by a brisk walk for about a quarter of a mile to the start of my 3 mile run.

I was so happy to hit this bridge first because it’s the longest. It was about 75 walking lunges straight down!
Incline Tricep Push Ups
Side Shuffles

Once I’ve reached the end of my loop, I’ll cool down with a quarter mile walk back home then static stretch for 5 to 10 minutes.

DE Squat Day

Stoked about getting back into training!  I’m about 15 weeks out til my next competition, the Texas State Powerlifting Meet April 18th 2015.  I took a few weeks off after my last (and 5th ) competition of 2014 which was on Dec 7th and it feels like forever ago!

I’m looking forward to a new training program which will incorporate more Dynamic Effort days and working with band tension and chains.  I’ll be strength training on M/W/F/Su as well as Spartan Race training with my team every Saturday morning. Cheers to year #2 of continued strength, breaking records and being a bad ass!!

Setting the Texas Female Powerlifting Record

Texas State Record

Even though I didn’t perform as well as I had hoped, it’s pretty cool to see my name as the record holder for my weight class!  Glad to get my first meet out of the way!  Now I’ve got to make it look pretty and hang on to that spot!
