Obstacle Run Training-12/20/12

Today’s workout is 20 minutes on the elliptical. Be sure to set the resistance level to at least half the maximum to get a work out. The goal is to be able to make at least two miles in the 20 minute time limit.

Keep focus so that you don’t waste time going through the motions. I  like to keep focus by switching my hand grip (my elliptical machine has adjustable grip positions) ever 5 minutes. This facilitates working different arm muscle groups (triceps and biceps) depending on grip.

Once complete move outside for the following workout (modified Spartan Race WOD):

20 burpees with push-ups

20 lunges

20 jumping jacks

20 push-ups

5 pull-ups

5 pull-ups

20 squat jumps

20 yards of single dumbbell farmer carry (left arm)

20 yards of single dumbbell farmer carry (right arm)

Sit-ups for 1 minute

5 chin-ups

That should do it. If you have time and the equipment, try these old school Army physical training obstacles. Huah!
