Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-6/11/15

Block Party! Oh yeah, we're back. It's been way too long since we celebrated fitness. The block party is intense, but fun and keeps you close to your home. The idea is to start at home, complete a circuit, then return for some water and repeat.

My block is 1.1 miles with a hill, a playground, and some equipment at my house. Here's a great workout:

Warm up:
Stretch muscles and rotate joints for 6 minutes

Main set:

Repeat three times:
Climb rope
5 pull ups with leg lifts
10 box jumps
Monkey bars
Balance beam (run along curb)
Run 1.1 miles

Followed by:

Plank hold for 2 minutes (add  spider man push ups during the time period)
Side plank hold for 30 seconds on each side.

Cool down:
Walk .2 miles

There are so many exercises to do. Many are covered in this great book from the US Army:
