Tear-It-Up-Tuesdays: Stadium Workout

Welcome back Tear-It-Up-Tuesdays!

This week we're getting back in gear at Samford's baseball stadium with Exercise Physiologist Kelly Bonner. We'll begin with some box jumps. Stand in front of a secured box or platform. Jump onto box and immediately back down to the same position. Repeat up to 20x's for three sets.

Moving on to stadium runs! Ascend, skipping over a step, then walk back down. On the next ascent, don't skip a step. Go as quickly as possible without stopping. Try not to fall and face plant.

Catch your breath, smile, then turn around and run back up.
Repeat.
As many times as possible.

Next up? How about some good 'ole air squats? Keep your feet shoulder-width apart; sit down into the squat until your knees are parallel with the ground and creating a 90 degree angle. Squeeze your buttocks as you push back up to a standing position. Repeat 10xs for up to five sets.

Let's finish the workout with some arm strengthening. First, tricep dips. Place hands on the back of a chair (or bleacher). Extend your legs and then dip down, adjusting your arms only to create a 90 degree angle. Keep abdominals engaged and legs straight. Return to arm extension. Repeat 10xs for up to five sets. 


Finish with three to five sets of 10 push-ups (not shown). Nice work! You've earned a shower.
