My running Workout with 1kg gloves

[Stu]

Hi,

I found this great new running workout routine which I have been doing for a few weeks now and think it's great.

I brought some weighted gloves 1kg on each hand.

I'm not a huge fan of treadmills I like running outside in the air seeing surroundings... My fave place to run is the woods... It's great also because it's bumpy and different hills. I like running when it's wet and muddy... even better if it's raining, something about getting dirty I like lol.

 

Ok here's the plan I use.

 

5 minutes of running.

5 minutes running while punching.

5 minutes running punching under arms.

5 minutes pulling the sack over the shoulder.

5 minutes of lunges while punching under arms again.

Then finish of with 5 minutes running.

 

You can really feel the gloves after awhile, To make it harder I engage the muscles In my arms to get the best results.

The gloves are really good for doing squats and star jumps. I'm going to get some ankle weights next.

You can get the gloves on ebay cheap... I got mine for about £15.

Hi Stu

 

Do you ever run with a weighted back pack? Or is that your plan after you have added ankle weights? Wow, you will be flying if you take the weights off

Your plan seems to be effective and nice. Did you benefits after implementing such plan?

Would you consider starting a training journal and sharing it with us in that section of the forum. Sounds like you are doing somethings that others would like to learn from your experiences and possibly emulate.
