Does anyone have some great non-weight workouts to do(interval style, lower body focus)outside at/around a track??? I'm sure there are some posted here somewhere but I have not been able lo locate any...TIA
 
I've been known to do this one every now and again.


100 walking lunges
100 side to side squat leaps (50 each side)
10 sets of bleacher runs, walk back down if I need a recovery.
10 sets of 15 frog hops (with butt DEEP down) going up the bleachers
side-to-side gallops bottom to top of bleachers (gallop in one direction, step up, go the other way, step up, etc. I go for two of my bleacher "sections" in one direction then step up.)
100 squat / side leg raises (50 each side)
finish with 100 more wallking lunges and 8 more sets of bleacher runs.

Don't forget, for an added lower impact style, you can always put on your weighted vest (remembering to add the weight onto your body weight for your hrm, to get the true calorie burn;)).

I like to do laps interspersed with jump rope (with or without a rope.) It makes me feel like I'm training for a fight. :p I love bleachers too, I noticed those were mentioned. Outside is great for those walking lunges, no furniture to get in the way. I always like some high knees or some butt kicks for emphasis. I like to do intervals of a minute higher intensity/speed and then walk it or jog it down and do it again. I like variety.

I remember when I was a teen, I used to do a workout I found in a magazine.

200 m. run
(front lunges, side lunge, back lunge)
then do the other side/leg:
(front lunges, side lunge, back lunge)
Do it 20 times each leg.

Rinse and repeat until you are a sweaty mess. :eek:

These days, I am fond of Cathe's plie squats and also squat/kicks (side or front.) I also like to jog and do speed bag arms. I think thats the inner boxer coming out:p

If you are feeling adventurous and there is no one behind you, you might try jogging backwards a little bit for variety. I should warn you, this can produce doms. I do it on hills sometimes.
