Spring Training Workout Plan--Get Outdoors!

i

Now’s a great time to take your fitness routine outdoors!  Here’s a plan you can do with little to no extra equipment, and don’t be shy to get even more creative with your natural surroundings and challenge yourself!

   *You don’t need any extra equipment, but if you have a resistance band and a jump rope you can really rock this workout.

   *Always check with your doctor before

 beginning any new fitness routine, and 

make sure you are hydrated.

Warm up for 3-5 minutes

   *Go through this routine at least once.  Repeat 1 or 2 more times to burn even more calories, get stronger, and really challenge yourself. 

  

    *Warm up for at least 3-5 minutes, jogging, walking, jumping rope, etc.  

     *Take a few moments to stretch and stretch throughout the workout when needed.                                                       

Here's the routine:

Perform 2-3 minutes CARDIO: sprints, jump rope, jog, jacks, mix it up

15-20 Squats

15-20 Push-ups

15-20 Bicep Curls with the resistance band

***2-3 minutes CARDIO (mix it up!)***

15-20 Walking or stationary lunges

15-20 Rows with resistance band (anchor tubing around solid surface)

15-20 Flies with resistance band 

***2-3 minutes CARDIO***

100 Crunches

20 Leg drops

  

15-20 Triceps Dips

Take a quick break, and repeat entire sequence at least one more time. You can mix up the order, have some fun with it.  Just move as quickly as you can from one exercise to the next, stay hydrated, and stay TOUGH!

Try to do this workout 3 times a week, along with some serious cardio and some type of stretch/yoga class or dvd.

Get outside and get moving!
