Conditioning Work for Dinosaurs
Posted by Brooks Kubik on March 19th, 2009
Do you remember when “cardio” used to consist of putting on a pair of five dollar gym shoes and taking a run around the block or around the local park — or doing a few laps at the local high school track?
That’s not a bad way of doing it, but there are other approaches as well. And they’ll do a good job of building muscle, keeping you hard and lean, and training that all-important heart muscle that so many lifters neglect.
Consider the following options:
1. Circuit training
2. “Super-sets”
3. High rep kettle-bell work
4. High rep work with light to medium sandbags
5. Sled pulling
6. Car pushing
7. Alternating the farmer’s walk or a sandbag carry with bodyweight exercises or wind sprints
8. Hill sprints
9. Walking with a loaded back-pack or weight vest
10. Performing five sets of ten to twenty reps in the squat, deadlift or clean and press
11. Sledge hammer work
12. Lugging and loading drills with light to medium weights so you can keep moving for twenty to forty minutes of non-stop work
13. Bodyweight programs
14. Combining sprints or jogging with bodyweight exercises
15. High Intensity Interval Training
There are many other ways to combine strength training and cardio work, and it’s well worth doing. You’ll look better, feel better and lift better if you’re in good shape. Just remember to break into cardio training slowly and easily — and if you’re over the age of 40, be sure to get the green light from your doctor before attempting anything too strenuous.
