Outdoor Fun!!

I got this brainstorm of an idea that I would take the KB's for a ride over to the local High School (Clear Lake High) and do a workout today. Who knows it might attract some attention to get others interested in the KB Revolution. So here's how it went!!

My warmup was a light jog aroung the Soccer field 1/4 mile

WORKOUT:
50 One arm and alt. swings
5 Rounds of Walking swings 20yds w/53lb Kb up and back (40yds total)1min rest between
Active Rest 1/4 mile jog.

5 Rounds One arm long cycle 3 reps each side 53lb kb (NO REST)
Active Rest 1/4 mile jog.

3 Rounds of Snatches 10 each side 53lb kb (1 min rest between rds)
Active Rest 1/4 mile jog.

2 Rounds 20 Walking lunges w/44lb kb (1 min rest) Switch arms every 10 steps
Active Rest 1/4 mile jog.

Finisher
2/ 50 yd Side Straddle Hops
2/ 50 yd Kareoke (Think NFL Combine here)
2/ 50 yd Backward Sprint 70-80% effort
10 50yd Sprints 70% effort
Last 2 sprints 90%

The idea here was to change the scenery and run on soft ground vs. pavement or cement. This does a few of things.
1. It will help with stability and tendon strengthening
2. Helps improve balance and coordination
3. Inprove lateral movements
4. Much nicer on the knees and back.

Positive note: I met a Football Coach named Ben Kaufman who would like to incorporate KB's to his Offensive Lineman's Program.
I'm optimistic about this!!

Stay tough!!
