Awesome Workout + Best Exercise to Lose Weight
by Yuri in Yuri's Workouts
Today, I had an amazing workout!
It was a beautiful day and there’s nothing I love doing on a beautiful than getting outside and getting active.
But I knew that I needed more than just an outdoor bodyweight workout to satisfy what my body was craving. After all, yesterday, I ran some serious hills with the dogs and got some really good speed work done. I needed something a little more strength-based today.
So I needed to hit the gym. But I didn’t feel like driving so I laced up my shoes and ran the 3km or so to the gym – and at a good pace too…doing it in about 16 minutes.
Once at the gym, I was inspired to further challenge my lower body, so here’s what my strength training workout looked like:
[warm-up = 3km run in 16 minutes followed by 5 minutes dynamic stretching]
1a. Single Leg Barbell Deadlifts – 3 x 8RM per leg
1b. Military Press – 3 x 8RM
2a. Clean and press – 3 x 5 RM
2b. Barbell rollouts – 3 x 10 reps
3a. Incline biceps curls – 3 x 8RM
3b. Triceps Headbangers – 3 x 8RM
*The last superset was more for vanity. Hey, t-shirt weather is here so I gotta get the old arms pumped up, if you know what I mean.
I wasn’t really feeling up to running back home so I walked. However, just before getting back to the loft, I decided to pop by the park beside our place and run a few full-field (soccer field) sprints.
It was a great way to finish off a great workout and a great way to start the day!
