Good Little Workout

The other day had a great workout. To beat the heat at high tide I took the dogs to a great bay beach, no house two spots where creeks meet the bay. It was a great three mile run in super soft and at least half of the run was calf to thigh deep water. The outfalls of the creeks needed to be swam and pushups and situps were done on nice sandy dry spots adding up to 150 and 150 reps. All and all a great workout.


Another quick run out back my house is a 1.5 mile stretch of train tracks. I run it as hard as I can, hitting certain spots doing situps, pushups, there is an old telephone pole doing cleans and presses. A large chunk of cement pick up and throw, and a pull up spot on a branch.


The reason these workouts are successful is because it incorporates everything rapidly. These workouts can be short or long but normally short 15-20 min. Its raising your metabolism and your metabolism stays up long after these workouts. Your hitting fast twitch and slow twitch muscles and making your muscles work together. Your using explosive movements and confusing your body it doesn't know what your going to do next. Doesn't that sound better than sitting on a bench in a gym waiting for someone to move out of your view of the mirror so you can do ten more reps.
