The 360 Workout

Posted by: thirtysixtyninety In: Training

I hate training for doing outdoor sports, unless it means actually getting out and doing them. But I have a full time job and sometimes I have to sneak into the gym for a workout in preparation to get outside.  In general gyms are fairly depressing to me, but I lately I’ve been able to channel my energy to get after it in the gym because I know that a long season of skiing is ahead.  It’s snowing in the mountains and I’m getting fired up.

Below is the workout I’ve been doing.  The key is to not stop once you’ve started the workout.  If I really push myself I can keep my heart rate above 150 with spurts above 180.  Would love to hear any feedback or opinions on the workout.

The 360 Workout

  • 10 min high intensity on bike, treadmill, stairs or eliptical (must stay over 200 watts)

Pretty intense work out! Those box jumps are killer. Be safe and strong.

Hi there,
I would love to get in touch with you about getting some of this footage that you’ve shot for a show I’m working on for The Weather Channel. Please email me back as soon as you get a chance.

Thank you!

The Plan:

In 2009, I plan to ski 30 days, climb 60 days and surf 90 days. Along the way I plan to shoot some video and raise 180 loans for entreprenuers around the world for kiva.org. For more info click on 'kiva' at the top of the page.
