Favorite Workout -

I call my favorite workout the Leg Pusher. Here's why:

This work out is meant to be done at a track, with a stadium. Given that it's winter, and most people (other than you in California) don't have an accessible outdoor track, it can be modified to be done indoors on a treadmill and with gym accessories. Modification to follow.

Warm Up: 100 jumping jacks, 100 leg kicks, 50 high knees

Work Out:
800 Meter Run - 5 Stadiums (up one, down one = 1), 25 - burpees, 60 second wall-sit, 25 lunge explosions, 25 box jumps (use bleacher stair or bench) and 10 one legged squats.
400 Meter Run (repeat the above)
400 Meter Run (repeat the above)
1600 Meter Run
Stretch!!

I also like to incorporate quick feet work outs - 1/4 mile of quick feet, 1/4 mile of sprinting, 1/4 of quick feet, 1/4 mile of sprinting. Add as you like into your runs.

If you don't have a track - just hit the treadmill at the gym, grab the box jumper or a bench and get to work!
