Creative Programming

I am lucky that at my place of work I have access to a full weight room, track, stadium, pool, and open fields to do just about any workout you can imagine. Lately, we have been taking advantage of the surroundings to program workouts that just can't be done in a conventional gym or a crossfit facility for that matter. Yesterday a few of us did a brutal workout.

10 mins of Med Ball Getups with a 20# Ball

then
8 mins of:
110# Sandbag Carry up and down the bleachers in the basketball arena
5 DB Thrusters @ 50#

Check Adam out completing his first round. It got brutal after this.

We finished it off with 8x50m Swim Sprints on the 2:00 mark which was extremely taxing considering we haven't been swimming much at all lately.

Don't get stuck in a rut with your programming. Use all the tools you can find, and take advanatage of your surroundings to increase you and your client's athletic performance.
