Whopper of a Workout Gives Results
Whopper of a Workout Gives Results
Hello Friend,
Thanks to a reader of these emails my quads and calves feel like they've been beaten with sticks.
OK, so they're not quite that bad but boy, can I tell I work 'em yesterday.
I got an email a couple weeks ago from Mike. "In high school we use to run this set of stairs", he said. "We should do it over lunch some time."
Always a glutton for punishment - I mean, a great workout - I agreed.
How many steps could there be at Blawkhawk Ski Jump anyway?
Yesterday around Noon we met and proceeded to the ski jump. As we turned the corner and took a peek down, let me tell you that I was impressed.
A nice sheer drop with wide wooden stairs climbing up the slope.
We went to the bottom and started the workout - I figured I would count the steps on the way up - just cuz I was curious...
I lost count around 200.
The reason I lost count was because these steps gave my legs, heart and lungs a serious whuppin.
Just a couple sets of running up, stepping up, and hopping up in the clean air and bright sunshine was all that we needed to feel energized, strong and powerful afterwards.
Now, there's no need to find 200 straight steps to get yourself an excelent workout. Repeats on a normal flight of 12 or 15 can be just as good. Great resistance work and forces knee lift and dorsi-flexion - all three crucial for running fast.
So, find your own and get to it. Get your buht moving on up and you'll be quickly surprised by the results.
