Wow, today was hard to motivate myself to workout. I had been in the car driving from Connecticut to the middle of Maine for between 9 – 10 hours. I was tired, sore from sitting still all day, completely unmotivated and let’s not forget hungry! Nevertheless, I knew a workout would make me feel better and loosen up the body a bit before digging in to some tucker and heading off to bed for another long day of driving tomorrow over to Nova Scotia, Canada.
As we pulled into a tiny little town called Brewer, I noted a baseball field with beautiful lush grass and a short hill which would make for a good workout. Still not having any weights I filled the 3.8 litre (1 gallon) water container I had in the car and created a workout with my makeshift weight.
3 x the following:
· 10 turkish getups (each arm)
· 15 kettlebell swings (each arm)
· 20 v-sits
· 25 air squats
I finished off with 10 x 20m hill sprints to really blow the cobwebs out of the lungs.
Time = 24 ish minutes
Now, I am no expert when it comes to conversion rates, but my understanding is that 1litre = 1 kilogram or there abouts. If that is said to be accurate, I only used a sub 4 kilo weight for my turkish getups and kettlebell swings. Unfortunately that wasn’t a hell of a lot of weight to work with, but not to worry, good old turkish getups were sure to get the heart rate up and given how awkward the water container was to hold it certainly worked me hard. My arm and shoulder were screaming at me to stop. Mission accomplished!
