Courtenay Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 Anyone out there have any favorite training tips they'd like to share with everyone else? It could be a time-saver, or a "who'd have thought it" tip, or something similar. To start us off, one way I have of killing two birds with one stone is taking my dog for a hills walk with a weighted pack -- she gets to go outside, I use it as a more strenuous workout than merely letting her trot about aimlessly, and that frees up some other time to get things done. Another example is working on forearm endurance -- I carry as many groceries as I can in plastic bags on foot (about a mile -- see Farmer's Walk thread earlier on this board) and spread fingers as WIDE as possible, palms down, so I work the opposite muscles to the climbing/gripping muscles. Give it a shot, share some strategies! ------------------ Courtenay Schurman, CSCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted January 16, 2001 Share Posted January 16, 2001 Here's mine, Making a date to run up Mt Si. You get a chance to chat with your date and get to know them, and get some exercise at the same time. Plus it is cheaper than a movie.

Guest Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 I use the little exercise wheel which the handles. Very inexpensive. It does your abs, shoulders, chest and "love handles". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
