Reader Mail, Mif in India

Posted Aug 01 2010 12:00am

It was a really long work day for me but also nice and sunny outside here in Calgary so I decided to hit the biggest hill around for some sprints. This hill has a giant wooden stair case 11 stories high (I counted the steps and divided by 14) so it is challenging but still easy on the joints. Here is the workout I did
  • Bike to the hill
    • 10 minutes nice and easy, really just warming up
  • Grok Squat
    • loosen up the hips
    • 5 times up
    • catching my breath at the top, walking down the stairs and sprinting back up almost immediately
    • the last couple times up I couldn't sprint the whole way up so I just got to the top as fast as possible
  • Bike home
    • again nice and easy
Pretty straight forward, as most of my workouts are. This might not look too sexy on paper, or the web, but finding a big hill and sprinting up it a few times will make you leaner, develop your legs, and make you a better athlete.

If you want to get creative and add your into a hill sprint workout, check out this video I made a while back. This is a few sets in and believe me it got tough fast!
