SOCCER/FOOTBALL FIELD DRILLS

MY GUILTY Pleasure: Intervals ON ARTIFICIAL Turf

Picture
Some days I wake up craving a workout on a fake turf field. I'm sure that sounds weird, coming from me. But here's the thing: astro turf is squishy, it warms in the sun, and the surface is predictably smooth. It's perfect for a barefoot workout (as long as it's not too hot outside). All this, and it's outside. Mm-mmm!
workout log: drills
page from my workout log, soccer/football field drills
Location: Local Track (with football/soccer field)
Weather: Blue sky!
Equipment: We used the football sled, at the track, timer on iphone, and one stretchy band
Buds: Marty
Highlights: happy toddler on the grass, doing her own version of jumping jacks. Cute!

This workout uses the length of the football field. It's especially great if others are using the play field or the track because you can easily use the edge of the field

Start at the goal line ("zero" yard line)
20 jumping jacks
Run to 50 yard line
20 mountain climbers
Run hard to far end goal line ("100" yard line)
10 squat jumps
Sprint 100 yards back to start

The first time we did this we timed it, and it took us 2 minutes, 7 seconds. So we set the timer on my iphone for 2 minutes and did the next 3 sets with the goal of finishing before the bell. Fun!

After that, we took turns, one of us pushing the sled for 1 minute while the other person did lunges. A minute of sled-pushing is like sweat juicing!

Tip: you can also push the sled together with your bud. It's still plenty hard!

A set of variety abs moves and some rows with the band finished off the work out.

Today's workout was such a doozy, I had to share! Tabatas really keep things interesting. If you haven't done it yet, download a Tabata timer on your smart phone, and go! This workout requires no gear at all. We used a park bench for dips, a wall for wall-sits, stairs and grass and that was it! SO MUCH FUN.

Why Would a Screenwriter become a fitness philosopher?

I love outdoor workouts. They allow me to touch moss and mud and sand and grass; to recognize the richness of life, and to be connected to my friends, the seasons, and my world. Free Range Fitness is my commitment to help others ditch the gym and get a better, happier, more effective workout that will transform their lives.  I believe this deeply. I invite you to join me, in being cage-free!
