Catch Some Air in Your Weekend SFCW!

I’m so excited for this weekend. Reebok (Reebok Women) sent me a pair of their Cardio Ultra shoes (#cardioultra) that have not even been released to the public yet. Tomorrow I am going to start testing out these bad boys…or bad girls I should probably say…along with some clothes that they sent too! These shoes are in for a tough week. I hope my bursitis-defective heels can handle everything. Stay tuned for my review…it will publish by Monday, November 17th.

Speaking if my bursitis (#heelproblems), it really sucks trying to “take it easy” and not put a lot of pressure on your feet. I was telling Erik last night that it’s kind of great being able to accomplish other neglected tasks around the house because I have a little bit more time, but it’s weird not picking up something super heavy every day. I’m eating very clean — I’m eager to see how my body changes/responds to such a break. I’m thinking about “resting” until the new year…there’s so much to be done now that the holidays are here!

So this morning, after I taught my bootcamp class, I did the following workout with a couple friends–TRY IT OUT!

Saturday’s Strong Figure Conditioning Workout:

3 Rounds for Time: 

• 30 KB Swings
• 20 Lunges
• 10 Push-ups
• 1 minute plank

I used a 45# bell for the swings (American swings/overhead), and held the bell in rack position for the lunges. You can modify this any way you need. And if you don’t have a KB, sub squats, sit-ups, anything you need for the swings.

Another option…

is what my bootcampers did this morning.

For time:

• 400 meter run
• 50 squats
• 400 meter run
• 40 wall balls
• 400 meter run
• 30 kb swings
• 400 meter run
• 20 weighted burpees (As seen in the pics! My bootcampers are awesome!)

 So, which workout will you choose? Let us know in the comments! 

OR–how long of a rest break have you had to take from your sport due to injuries and what did you do in the  meantime? I want to hear your thoughts in the comments section!
