KILLER CARDIO & BODYWEIGHT WORKOUT
Hey, fit travelers! It’s been a while since I last posted one of our brutal travel workouts.
After this mornings sweat-dripping session, I came to the realization that it’s time to start posting up more of these workouts of ours in hopes that we’ll be able to motivate some of you to kick your fitness level up a notch and start getting in shape for summer.
The best part about this workout is you don’t need any equipment to get it done. The only thing you’ll need to do is find a set of stairs for the stair runs.
We exercise at the local track here in Playa del Carmen and it’s got a beastly set of bleachers which we use to get these stair runs done.
You, too, can find a public stadium or track of your own in your current location as most cities/towns have one. If not, no worries. Just find yourself a set of stairs and run 144 stairs before every full round.
STAIRWAY TO HELL WORKOUT
- STAIR RUN (24 STAIRS x 6 ROUNDS) for a total of 144 stairs
- 25 TRICEP DIPS
- 25 FLUTTER KICKS
- 25 TOE TAPS
- 25 BOX JUMPS W/ SQUAT
- 25 PUSHUPS
This workout consists of 4 full rounds plus one last stair run to make it 5 stair runs in total.
NOTES:
As you can see above, we were using a set of 24 stairs and running them six times until we reached a total of 144 stairs. This might be obvious but do not count going down the stairs. Each round is counted as you go up the stairs. Do your best not to take any rest unless you absolutely need it.
As for the box jumps with the squat, we did these up the bleacher stairs. For example we started at the bottom, box jumped up to the first step, squatted and then box jumped directly up to the second step, squatted and so on until we reached the top of the bleachers. We added in one extra box jump/squat at the end to meet our goal of 25 box jumps w/ a squat.
By the end of this, you will have ran 720 stairs and completed 100 reps of each bodyweight exercise. Nice work!
If there’s two things I can guarantee you its that you’ll be dripping sweat from head to toe and your legs will be awfully sore tomorrow. But, hey, that’s the best part!
