Hi All, I just wanted to ask about the running exercise of one of my sessions. As I currently train at home (not yet got the confidence to go outside and not sure where I could go to train with others) and one of my sessions require 40 running x2, is there a way to emulate this at home in the house that would give me the desired effect? Thanks.
Some ideas: -Kettlebell swings -Jumping jacks -Mountain climbers -Rope skipping But modification = no star workout
How many reps would you do of those replacement exercises you mentioned? Damn! no star, oh well, I can be sure that I will achieve the star before my Home Country ever achieves a gold one in either the UEFA Euro or Worldcup, saying that, my grandchildren most probably will too Thanks for info
You don't even need to replace running by something radically different. Simply run on the same place (static running). To avoid distorting your results: do it a first time outside the real way, the entire workout. See how long it takes you to do the 2 x 40m (I insist on the entire workout as it's not the same thing runing 4x40m with fresh legs or after burpees). If real running takes you, for example, 15s-17s, do 20s of static running (the idea is to avoid cutting corners ). Mid-exercise (10s in my example), touch the ground just like you are supposed to when doing it outside. when doing static running raise your knees up-to waist level. That will make the exercise very cardio intensive and ensure that you really shift your weight from on leg to another. My 2 cents...
