Warrior Training

Last night I tried Warrior Training at the Dojo. It went really well. It consisted of an intense warm-up, followed by stretching. Then we did of metabolic interval training. Five stations were set up. The first station involved a small medicine ball while doing pretty much a mason twist as fast as you can. The 2nd was pushing a 35 pound weight 30 feet while in bear crawl position. 3rd was sprinting knees up through an agility ladder. 4th was doing a 30 foot sprint while a partner held you back by some resistance with a rope. Last we're push-ups. We went thru these for 30 seconds each, with 30 second breaks in between. Then we went thru them again for 1 minute followed by a 10 second break. Pretty damn tough. We ended with a "hurricane". 30 second sprint with resistance, followed by laying down and meeting your leg with you hands holding a medicine ball (crunch) 30 times, followed by 30 mason twists as fast as you can. Repeat 2 more times. TOUGH.

It was a different and fun workout which I'm interested in trying again. It reminded me of the cardio and plyo parts of P90X, Insanity, Asylum, and Cross-Fit.

Today I went for a nice 4.65 run in over 38 minutes. Nice workout before turkey time! Happy Thanksgiving!!
