A
nother beautiful day..had to get outside.
Here's what I did:
- 20 minutes speed intervals
- Five rounds of:
- Water Bottle Carry 180 feet
- 10 Push Ups
- Water Bottle Carry 180 feet
- 10 Squats (using bottle for load)
- Water Bottle Carry 180 feet
- 10 Overhead Press (using bottle for load)
- 15 minutes speed intervals
The whole session took 62 minutes and 41 seconds.
The water bottles were filled with about 45 lbs of sand which made a great training tool. The sand shifts as you pick it up or reposition the bottle which forces your body to react to the loads. And, it's a more real life kind of thing. Lifting barbells has its place but lifting things that you're apt to encounter in everyday life is even better.
Also, here's a video of one round of the routine with narration.
