Friday, November 21st

Well, it seems that another week has passed...for some of us.
To others, they are looking forward to tomorrow mornings Bootcamp class in Arnprior.
But what if I can't make it to Bootcamp you ask? Well, a supplement to attending Bootcamp class 3 times a week, there are still 4 other days which can also be filled with 45 minutes or less of endless possibilities.
Here are my top 3 choices for outdoor cardio sessions:

1. Prowler sprints - We load it up and sprint as fast as possible, low handles down, high handles back. Three double-up trips or 4-6 faster single trips, this beast will humble the average gym buff.
2. Sprint intervals - Lace up your sneakers and head out to the street. Start with a 10 minute light jog, and then 15 minutes of jogging at 50% for 45 seconds, to a sprint for 15 seconds. I use the track at Mateway park, jogging the straight stretches, and sprinting from corner to corner.
3. Hill sprints - Go to the closest park with a good steep hill. After a good warm up, run as fast as you can up that hill all the way to the top, and walk it down. Repeat for 5 trips.
There you have it folks. Now get out from behind that computer and do it!
Oh ya, and you can get a prowler here.
