Warm up with joint mobility, foam roller, and dynamic movement. Today a nice post Thanksgiving workout. It is one of my personal favorites. Very simple, and very effective. 2 miles broken up into 8 1/4 mile runs followed by body weight squats and push ups. Believe me, this will be one the hardest two miles you run.

Warm up with foam roller, joint mobility, and dynamic movement.  Today we are going to do a workout that Randy Couture uses.  It is called his grappling circuit.  It is a tremendous endurance go.  It is performed with a manageable weight.  Several times in the video he stresses that heavy weight is not the goal here.  Concentrate on good form and get the volume of reps. Below is the link to the video.

Turkish get up strength and conditioning circuit

11/19/12

Warm up with joint mobility, foam roller, and dynamic movement.  Today is a super simple workout.  Just two movements. Turkish get ups and suit case dead lifts.  It is a great full body workout, plus a little extra for the posterior chain.  Make sure that you hit the foam roller after you are finished as well.  This is sneaky hard.
