Take it to the Water!
 |
| (I googled this picture, but it gives you an idea of potential water obstacles!) |
Did you know some of the obstacles are water related? We are talking trudging through a river, crawling through mucky water, or running across floating catamarans.
So how does one prepare for these?!
BY GETTING WET!
Most of these drills will work best if you have access to a shallower pool.
If it's deeper than 4-4.5feet, a kick board might be your best bet!
Here are some drills to do in the pool to push your body and get you ready!
Warmup: Jog the length of the pool (5 min)
Sprint length of pool, jog back (10 times)
Noodle Jumps (lets do 100!)
Push Ups (go until your arms feel like they will fall off)
Sprint length of pool (10 times)
Cooldown: Jog length of pool (5 min)
 |
| Noodle Jumps-you jump over and back for 1 rep! |
 |
| Pushups-Just like you are getting out of the pool. It burns after a bit! |
Bonus: Water is easy on the joints and you will be fighting resistance in every move
so kind of getting more bang for your buck. Plus: No one cares what you look like in your
swimsuit, so jump on in and burn some calories!
Enjoy!
