Sunday workout

Props to Max Wiley for the suggestion. This is a variation of a Tam Football workout. Give it a go! 

This one is hard

Give it a go and have a great holiday weekend, all.  

Core

Below is yesterday’s core workout, for anyone interested. I think we will go tomorrow at 5 pm and then take Friday off for the holiday. I have a simple bit special workout planned for tomorrow. And by simple I mean hard. 

The Secret to Getting Strong

Those of you who’ve been part of Gym Harold workouts these past few months know what I’m going to say. If you want to get strong, lift, press, pull or push heavy weight. That’s it. It really isn’t complicated.  But obviously there are a few nuances, a critical one being “what defines heavy”? My opinion is it should on the uncomfortable side but not overbearingl so.  

Here Summer and Thalia are doing two of my favorites: prowler pushes and suitcase carries.  4 sets of each for about 100 yards. This will definitely do the trick. 

Friday Workout

Here is today’s workout, for anyone interested. Short (Roughly 35 minutes) but pretty tough.  Leave a comment if you give it a go. 

Workout Today!

How does 4:15 work for you all?

Lots of work today; will be more of a Wednesday-type workout. This will be the last set we will do:

6. 50 air squats + 75 Pushups + 100 situps

See you all then, hopefully!

Bands

Do yourself a favor and buy either these (linked below), or a comparable brand. We don't do a lot of band work because, well, most of you don't own them. But they are amazing and should be incorporated into your routine at least three times per week. 

They are especially great as a warm up for a run or for soccer. Simple exercises include side steps and monster walks. You can easily look up both on YouTube. Both help develop glute and hip strength, both of which are obviously key to good movement.

Bands!
