Thought I'd make up for last post's little joke exercise and give you something real.
Here's a simple little workout to do instead of standard 1 min hard, 1 min easy running for your interval training.
Using the medicine ball for side tosses integrates core power in the transverse (rotational) plane (think punches, kicks, throws), and the back tosses train your triple extension (think posturing on the ground and takedowns while standing). So you get some MMA-specific movements while doing intervals. Nice!
I'm currently training for the Joslin's Canadian Open BJJ tournament in November. Unfortunately I've been nursing a sprained thumb over the last couple of weeks, but it should be 100% by next week.
That hasn't stopped me from my conditioning though. I went to the park for a quickie and thought I'd share. Check it out:
On the sprints there was a swarm of mosquitoes, I ate a couple. I guess I saved some money on post-workout protein, score!
I was destroyed by the end - it was great.
