Hey CFK Athletes and Random Visitors!
Many of you have asked me about travel workouts that can be completed on the road or when you just can’t seem to get to the gym. Here is a list of 60 workouts that I tap into when I need to squeeze in a quick sweat when I don’t have time to get to a class. Little to no equipment will be required, you’ll only need a stopwatch and smart phones have amazing timer apps you can download.
Pick a workout and hit it hard, or choose a couple that make sense and knock them both out but be sure to scale to your fitness and abilities! As always, focus on mechanics and range of motion first! #GETBETTERNOTDONE
Here are some general scaling guidelines:
New Athletes – start at half-reps (or even 25%) and/or add rest periods
Inconsistent Athletes – that’s what this list is for, stop being inconsistent! Start at half and see how you feel. Don’t punish yourself, but instead do something that will allow you to train again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day…
Consistent, well trained Athletes – Kill it!
Most importantly, remember to warm-up and cool down!
Warm-up – jog a quarter mile and do a few rounds of the “World’s Greatest Stretch”, and you should be good to go with most of these. If it’s a sprinting workout, then I always add in some side lunges and dynamic exercises – high knees, leg swings, accelerations, prone starts, etc)
Cool-down – jog/walk a quarter mile and spend a couple minutes on each side in the following stretches
