Obstacle Race Training-12/23/12


It’s almost Christmas, so give yourself a present. Rest and relax for a few days and if your neighborhood is festooned with Christmas lights and displays, take advantage and enjoy an excellent backdrop to a nighttime holiday workout.

Try this festive fitness folly to get your jolly heart pumping while enjoying the beauty of your neighbor’s handiwork. Tis the season…

Grab that pre-packed back pack and briskly ruck for a few miles. Wait until dark, don some safety clothing and flashlights and take a brisk walk with a third of your body weight, or at least 30 pounds. Be sure to throw some jogs in there to keep it interesting.

When you get back, you might be a little chilly. So warm up with:

  • 3 sets of 5 chin-ups with leg lifts
  • 2 sets of 15 push-ups
  • 2 sets of 10 triceps dips

Hiking with a Backpack helps improve your core strength.  You never know which obstacles you might encounter so stay tough...Huah!
