Strength & Conditioning

Side Jumps

By the time I reached this drill I had already done:

  1. Knee Skips
  2. Step Ups
  3. Squat Jumps
  4. Fast Step Ups
  5. Skaters
  6. Side Jumps ————>

All at 3×30 second reps with 30 second rest in between reps and drills.  I followed side jumps with: fastturnovers

  1. Frog Hops
  2. Fast Turn Overs ————->
  3. Bulgarian Squats
  4. Planks

I did the first 3 with the same program as above and the planks are done 1 minute standard, diamond and preacher and then 30 second for each side plank with 1 minute rest in between plank sets.  It was a great workout and one that had me fighting to continue after the side jumps.  It felt good to push again at this level and I’m starting to really notice how my conditioning has improved with gradual and conscious steps towards higher fitness levels.

Even though I was beat after the above circuit I proceeded to do 10 strides Stridesbarefoot.  I did these as cool down and as feeling runs.  I was searching for a smooth ride and soft touch.  All in all, this was a great training session on Thursday and I’m stoked to be doing what I love!

Note:

Don’t ever stop doing what you love, if you fall, get back up, dust yourself off and get back on the horse.  The only failure in life is the failure to continue the fight towards achieving your dream.

En Joy! 🙂
