Some Workout Options

 This is again stolen from Oberlin.  Duh.


Here are a few options to get you started with the workout routine we suggest.  Look for more to be posted in the near future!


Cardio Options:
  • 30 minutes of running, elliptical, biking.  You should run intervals (1 minute sprint, 2 minute jog; alternate sprinting and jogging between  telephone poles, etc.).  You can adjust the time or distance between intervals depending on how you are feeling.  
  • If you don't have access to a gym and live somewhere where the roads are too icy to run on, try: Jump rope or run up and down your stairs.  Jump roping is REALLY hard, so experiment with how long you can do it for (you should still be doing intervals for this).

Core Options:
Ball core workout
Core workout we've been doing
Yoga core workout

Strength Option:
5 x 20 Circuit:  (This will be hard.)
  • Do three sets of the following things with a 1 minute rest in between each thing.  You can make it more difficult by decreasing the rest time.  Conversely, you can make it easier by increasing the rest time. 
  • 3 sets of:
