Today's workout is simply stated, yet not simply accomplished. You will all be going through what it is like to be in a Triathlon. Today we will swim, then bike, then run. And since we are all workout fanatics, we will end with some core exercises! If you do not have access to a pool, I would look into trying to join a gym with one. Pools offer an amazing battle ground for intense workouts that help both your cardio ability and your breathing. But, if you are unable to swim you will be rowing on the erg machine as an alternate. So here is the workout:
** Go at your own pace to complete the times. If you cannot swim straight for 20 minutes, tread water until you have recuperated enough to swim again **
Swim / row - 20 minutes
Bike - 20 minutes
Run - 20 minutes
Plank to Leg Lift - switch every 15 seconds (hold for 2 minutes total)
Inverted Crunches - 3 sets (25 each) - use a weight if it is too easy
Tea Pots (for obliques) - 2 sets (10 on each side) - hold a 10 lb dumbbell
Good luck everyone! Drink lots of water in between each activity. Feel free to rest a few minutes as well. And by rest I mean light walking, don't sit down or stop moving. Particularly important today is the cool down after the cardio and before the core exercises.
