Winter Workouts

Heres a couple workouts that you can do over break, a few of you said you would be productive so here you go.

I would start each workout with a either a short run 1/2 mile +/- or with 5, 10-20-30 shuttles with a 30 second rest between each one, whichever is easier for you to do at your house or in your neighborhood. This is just to get the heart rate up and let you loosen up before the workout.

Leg Workout - 3 times through
Lunges - 15 each leg
Single Leg Calf Raises - 15 each leg
Leg Raises - 1 minute scissors - lay on your back, hands under your back, lift your legs about 6 inches off the ground, and then spread them out wide then back together as quickly as possible without touching the ground as fast as possible for the time
Prisoner Squats - 50 - just like doing squats in a gym just with no weight
Leg Raises - 1 minute up/downs - same as before but you will move your legs up about 1 foot from the starting position then back down as fast as possible for the time

Upper Body - 3 times through
Push Ups - hands out wide - 20
Chair Dips - 15
Torso Raises - 20 - lay face down hands on your head, raise your torso off the ground, lower your torso, repeat
Chinups - to failure - if you have a bar or some other way to do chinups
Crunches - 50

Jumping - 3 times through
Burpees - 15
Line Hops - 1 min as fast as possible
Box Jumps (also called leap ups)- 20 - you will need some sort of box, folding chair, or something else that can support your weight and is 18-24 inches high.
Single Leg Calf Raises - 15 each leg
Alternating Leg Box Jumps (also called step ups)- 20 each leg - you will need some sort of box, folding chair, or something else that can support your weight and is 18-24 inches high.

You should also try to do a long run 2 miles +/- once a week if possible

If you are unsure of what any exercise is a quick google search should tell you all you need to know.
