I shall leave you for the week with a short and sweet conditioning routine that incorporates burpee's (the king of bodyweight cardio conditioning) and multi directional running. You will need some cones (or equivalent marker) to lay out a T grid as shown below:
I like to have about 10m between the start/finish marker and cone 1 plus 10m between cone 2 and cone 3. But you can play around with these distances depending on where you are training.
- Begin at the start/finish marker
- Start the clock
- Perform 10 burpee's
- Accelerate to cone 1
- Lateral run to cone 2
- Lateral run to cone 3
- Lateral run back to cone 1
- Run backwards to the start/finish marker
- Perform 9 burpee's
- Repeat the multi-directional running sequence
- Perform 8 burpee's
- Repeat the multi-directional running sequence
- Continue in this manner until you complete 1 burpee
- Finish with a final T-run
- Stop the clock when you get back to the Start/Finish marker
This short, intense workout will have you constantly jumping, accelerating, decelerating, moving forwards, moving sideways and moving backwards.....a sure fire way to get the heart racing and the lungs pounding. Next time you perform the workout, try and shave some seconds off your time.
Enjoy and have a great weekend.
