Stairs

http://relativestrengthadvantage.com/running-stairs-the-most-badass-fat-loss-conditioning-drill-ever/

It was sprinkling ever so slightly when we arrived to PRUMC at 5:49AM this morning. No problem. We have an indoor facility right down the street. Its a 9 story parking deck. Oh joy. Delmonte calls it "the crazy 8s of the winter session." True, but Harriott would remind us that "concrete kills our legs." Yep, quite a beating. Too bad. This is the strength training that is critical to the base building of our winter workouts. You ever wonder why we always pass people in the up hill portion of a road race? We are stronger.

We started at the 1st floor and ran to the 9th... 4 times. That's 36 stories. We took the long way down the ramps and stopped along the way to do 780 repetitions of various lower body exercises. Example: Squats, Lunges, Leg Lifts, Leg Presses, Leg Curls, Kicks, ect...

There was plenty of jokes. Some not overly clean but we gave The Preacher 5 minutes at the end of the workout to straighten us out. For such a beating, we had a good time.

4 miles, 780 reps.

The Princess did 3 sets of stairs then hit The Village. The Village idiot kept them moving for a solid 3.5 miles. I think we are supposed to be looking for Ben Affleck this week. When did Atlanta become Hotlantawood?
