Run Day Fun Day

So after that intense upper body workout yesterday, we really should attack the legs.  But also turn up the heat on our cardio because that has been neglected for 2 whole days now! Only this time we will be focusing on distance running and not the high intensity stuff we did on Monday. This will train our endurance.  So a good goal to shoot for today would be at least 6 miles. I know that may sound like a lot, especially if you do not run often, but try it! You do not need to maintain an 8 minute mile pace or anything like that, just get the 6 miles under your belt. Oh and after these lovely, relaxing 6 miles we are going to crush our legs into the ground so badly none of us will want to get out of bed tomorrow morning. See the second half of your Run Day Fun Day below:

1. Star Jumps: 3 sets (20, 20, 20)

2. Walking Backwards Lunges: 3 sets (20, 20, 20)

3. Mountain Climbers: 3 sets (20, 20, 20)

4. Side Jumps: 3 sets each side (10, 10, 10) ** For this, keep your legs together, squat down then jump sideways to the right. Land with your feet together. Squat down again and jump back to the left. Keep your hands in front  of you.

5. Wall Sits (Devils Chair): 3 sets (hold for 20 seconds each)

and if you are really cocky -

6. Preform exercises 1-4 listed above 2 reps at time in a row until you are about to pass out!

Enjoy the soreness!
