I just had to share this workout. Even though it was super short, it took me a good 10 minutes to get my breathing & heart rate completely under control afterward.
I'm climbing in a comp later today; so I didn't want to fatigue my shoulders, but I needed to do something short & sweet this morning. Generally, I don't like running indoors; but the university's gym has a little indoor track, & I've been wanting to try something. I felt pretty hungry & drained, so I had a handful of almonds & dates before leaving the house. I was still "starving" at the gym, so I decided to eat my orange about 15 minutes before working out. Maybe not the best thing to do, but I needed something.
You can do more than two rounds if you want; it took me about 12 - 13 minutes & this was rough. I don't know if I was having an off morning with the hunger & everything, or if this really is brutal; so I need you guys to try it out.
The indoor track is 0.1 mile. I sprinted the track between each exercise -- I mean sprint -- at at least 90% with some 95 - 100% bursts in there. I thought the exercises would be little "breaks". Nope. I was wiped out.
- Mountain Climbers x 50 (both legs forward = 1)
- Sprint Track
- Push Ups x 25
- Sprint Track
- Elbow/Forearm Plank - hold for 1 minute
- Sprint Track
- Elevated Dips (feet on a bench - same level as my hands) x 25
- Sprint Track
Do this twice through.
I think it's the sprinting that does me in.
