ForestFit July 29th: The Accumulator

Jul 29th

This mornings ForestFit was a little bit different with the return of an old favorite.

THE ACCUMULATOR!

Basically the idea is we start with a simple exercise and then add another exercise, repeat the first and the 2nd and then add a third, and so on

So starting with 45 seconds of bodyweight squats

Then 45 seconds of squats and 45 seconds of Mountain Climbers

then Squats, Mountain Climbers, and flutters

Then Squats, Mountain Climbers, Flutters and then a short sprint around a forest loop

Then Squats, Mountain Climbers, Flutters, short sprint and push ups

Then Squats, Mountain Climbers, Flutters, short sprint, push ups and then a plank

Then finally Squats, Mountain Climbers, Flutters, short sprint, push ups, a plank and squat jumps to finish

A lot of squats today, beautiful morning so I took some photos of the stretches at the end…

Monday is a ForestFit day, with currently three groups running, two this morning and a hardcore session tonight.

The theme for today was Tabata, quite a straight-forward training protocol but with big effect to your metabolism.

In simple terms you work hard for a short period say 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds and then repeat. Today’s routine consisted of pairs of exercises repeated 2 or 3 times.

Starting with our trademark GetFit.lu warmup we headed in to the forest for the first pair of exercises.

Overhead Squats and Sprints. so 20 seconds of squats, 10 seconds rest, 20 seconds sprint, 10 seconds rest… repeat 3 times.
Zero Resistance LAteral Raise and Lateral Lunges
Incline push ups and Mountain Climbers
Modified Pull ups and Plank
Hill Sprint
Reverse Lunge and Side Plank
Under/Over bars and Sprint
Finish off with a metabolic finisher 24 flutters, 10 push ups, 18 Elbow Stabilisations, 32 Lateral Raises AND then a hill sprint.

This is probably on the shorter end of the scale for our interval based routines, but the effect on the metabolism is huge. Every participant will have been burning calories like crazy all through the day today )
