Training for Metro Dash

The Masons are officially registered for Orlando Metro Dash...now we have to get ready to race! We have decided to get in a morning workout and an evening workout every Monday through Friday for the next two week. Saturday will be a one workout day and Sunday will be rest day.

Monday's morning workout is done. Let us know if you give either one of these a try!

Michelle did a tabata heavy bag workout. That is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 rounds each exercise. 1 miute rest between tabata rounds.

1-2's on the left.
air squats
1-2's on the right
pushups
hook-upper cut on the left
jump rope
hook-upper cut on the right
bag kicks left leg
bag kicks right leg

This is a good 45 minute high energy workout. It is sure to get your heart going, muscles burning, and calories melting!



Clark did a tough one.

8 sets of 8 accelerating front squats at 135 pounds (if you want to know what an accelerating squat is, just ask). There was a 1 minute break between each set.

6 sets of 4 lunges (2 each leg) with a 95 pound sand bag on one shoulder and a 53 pound kettlebell in the opposite hand.

6 sets of sled drags at about 300 pounds (3 forward, 3 backward). We don't have a sled, so in all our madness we drag tires with kettlebells inside them to get the correct weight.

This is one is a lot harder than it looks.
