Run In Mud Obstacle Race Training-2/23/14

Here is an exercise session I led over the weekend with some 1st - 6th grade boys. Though this workout smoked them, it demonstrates that there can be an opportunity to exercise almost at any occasion. This particular workout manifested during a church lock in involving 45 students. 

Here's how it went down:

Given a large basketball court (in this case two full courts side by side), set up four workout stations, one under each goal. 

Each team runs one full lap and then performs exercises at each obstacle until they end up at their original station. 

To make it really fun, have more than two teams and keep going until two teams lose two times each.

Run one lap and then perform the exercises at each station:

Station 1: 5 burpees with push ups. Look up and read Bible verse (increases difficulty when winded from running and exercising)

Station 2: 5 supine leg lifts. Look up and read Bible verse 

Station 3: 10 air squats. Look up and read Bible verse 

Station 4: 25 jumping jacks. Look up and read Bible verse 

Repeat as necessary.
