Obstacle Race Training-12/26/12


Run 3 miles or go 25 minutes on the elliptical. Make sure you go hard to burn up those holiday treats you may have indulged a little too much in. Then:

Farmer carry with 2 dumbbells (up to ½ of body weight for 15 yards)

10 burpees

20 x 4 count leg lifts

Farmer carry with 2 dumbbells (up to ½ of body weight for 15 yards)

10 burpees

20 x 4 count scissors kick

Farmer carry with 2 dumbbells (up to ½ of body weight for 15 yards)

10 burpees

20 x 4 count leg spreaders

Stretch for 5 minutes

These exercises can help improve endurance, cardio and strength in preparation for obstacle races like Warrior Dash, Spartan Race, Tough Mudder, Zombie runs, Moonshine Mud Runs, Dirty Girl and more. They are non-traditional and should break up the rigors of a habitual training program.
