Parking Garage Workout
This weekend is the bridge run weekend in Charleston. I realize it is great for businesses, but it is not great for traffic! I have run the bridge a few years in the past and I have decided that it is too many people for me when I can run the bridge any day of the week :o) I wanted to bring those of you who aren’t running the bridge (because you don’t live in Charleston or simply do not want to deal with getting up at 4:30 am to get your car parked downtown and then get your body over to Mount Pleasant, all the while fighting thousands of people to get your start spot) a KILLER leg and cardio workout.
I know I can really get sick of the same old treadmill, elliptical, bootcamp style workouts……If you want to scorch up to 600-700 calories in 50 minutes, then try this. Find your closest parking garage and GET TO WORK Girl! (make sure to take a friend who will not only help push you but will also help keep you safe…..don’t go alone. Too many CRAZY people in this crazy world!). This workout is a fun way to help burn lots of calories and also help ramp up your boring old routine.
WORKOUT: (takes about an 45 minutes to hour to finish)
- Run the steps from the ground floor to the top of the garage.
- Once you get to the top, run back down one flight at a time. Then when you get to that level, sprint to the opposite set of stairs and back again. Run down to the next level. Sprint across, and down to the next level. Do this until you reach the bottom of the steps.
- Run back up to the top of the garage-this time you will skip every other stair.
Once at the top, you are going to:
- Complete 50 walking lunges, then run half way down the stairs and back up again.
- Complete 40 mountain climbers (each side-so 80 total), then run to the flight of stairs above the one you ran to before and back up again.
- Complete 30 squat jumps, then run to the flight of stairs above the one you ran to before and back up again.
- Complete 25 pushups, then run to the flight of stairs above the one you ran to before and back up again.
- Complete 20 dips, then run to the flight of stairs above the one you ran to before and back up again.
- Complete 15 burpees, then run to the flight of stairs above the one you ran to before and back up again.
- Complete 10 star jumps and you are DONE!
Great workout! Keep up the hard work and I will see y’all back here again next week.
