A new favorite routine of mine is to run for about a mile and then pause to do some strength training moves.
Today's routine started with a .5 mile run then squats, pushups, and back extensions.
I followed this with a 1 mile run, lunges, pushups, and crunches.
After this, I ran another mile, then I did one-legged squats onto a bench, pull-ups, and bicycle crunches.
I finished it off with a .5 mile run and stretching. It gave me an appetite!!
A routine like this works well for those of us who have been inside all day and want to enjoy the outdoors while getting both cardio and strength.
One-legged squats are an amazing way to ramp up the load on your legs without using weights. I recommend squatting down onto a bench and then standing up from the bench.
Can't do one leg down and up? Try sitting down onto the bench using one leg but getting up with both legs.
