July 11th...enough with the lunges already!

Wow, today was a hot one!  Awesome to see how hard everyone was working, especially at the end, maximum effort was put forward by everyone.  The end of today's work out was great for building your running and increasing your endurance.  What did we do?...everyone paired up, one partner doing smash ball squats or ManMakers and the other ran up the hill, then you switched off.

The smash balls are on the left, they are great because it is a full body movement that requires you to go all out...the ball is called a "smash" ball because it is really freak'n heavy and doesn't bounce.  You throw it over your head, fast and hard so that it gets a tiny inch off the ground and then you have to scoop it up, repeat, repeat, repeat!

The other half the group was doing ManMakers, again a full body movement that combines, overhead press, into squat, bupee jump out, 1 arm row, jump feet back, clean dumbells back up to a press, repeat, repeat, repeat!

Then your partner has to run up the hill and down, fast you hope!  The idea here is that your heart rate is ALWAYS elevated, so by the time you get around to the run, you are grateful as it seems like a rest!  So here you are running up the hill SEVERAL TIMES today, increasing your distance bit by bit.  Then next time you do a flat run you will notice not only are you not breathing as hard but you ran your set distance with more ease!
