It's time for a new strength routine, and since I'll be traveling for a big chunk of this month I'm doing all body-weight exercises that require no equipment.
Last month's routine included a lot of exercises from this video featuring extreme kayak racer Michele Ramazza. This month I'm doing one exercise from this video: the "super crunches."
The rest of this month's routine comes from this video, posted on Face Book by slalom coach Ron Lugbill a few weeks ago:
The exercises here all focus on explosive movements to build power, and they are technically quite tricky. I'm spending the first few days of this month just learning them: I watch an exercise in the video, then I get down on the floor and try it myself, I see where I'm having difficulty, and I watch the video footage again to see how this athlete handles it. I hope that by the time I'm in Hawaii I'll have a good grasp on all of them.
In summary, here are the list of exercises I have chosen for this month:
1. Power plank-ups
2. Super crunches
3. Pendulum planks
4. Glute/ham single-leg plyo bridge
5. Hannibal pushups
6. Rolling squat burpee
Like last month's routine, this one keeps me in near-constant motion, and I like that.
