My vacation workout

August 11, 2008

So many times in the past I have written about the virtues of being consistent the entire year – allowing you to not worry about your workouts while you are on vacation.

I am not contradicting myself with this post. 

I, like so many other fitness nuts, couldn’t help it.  Call it a sickness if you like…this workout was awesome.  I don’t know how much time it took me but I can tell you I felt like a million bucks afterward.

So here it is:

  1. Lungewalk the dock (10 steps out/10 back)
  2. Pushups (10 reps)
  3. Swim 25 strokes out/25 strokes back – obviously
  4. Inch worms length of the dock

6 rounds for time.

Not having the opportunity or the desire to swim much this summer…wow!

Even better – about midway through my 5th set the skies opened and it down poured rain!

Vacation fun.  Workout.  Win

Go hard. Go on vacation!

Squat and walk your way to a great workout.  Leaving for vacation I wanted to get in my whole body just one more time.  I am looking forward to a week off from my workouts to enjoy water skiing, swimming and “hanging out” with my wife Andrea and my two boys Trevor and Andrew.

Here is the workout:

  1. Front Squats – 10 Reps
  2. Farmers Walk – to failure

6 rounds of this left me absolutley exhausted!

This was my first weighted squat since my knee surgery in March so I went a bit light at 95 pounds for the front squats.  The farmers walk I used 100 pound dumbbells.  Take the least amount of rest between sets as you can (even though your going heavy).

Enjoy this workout and enjoy your next week!

Go heavy.  Walk heavy.  Win.
