Backyard Cardio
A New Slant on the 40 Yard Dash for Backyard Cardio
By: Andy Book, CSCS
Running sprints with limited rest periods between repetitions is unquestionably a great method of building strength endurance. On the other hand, running repeated sprints is frankly boring. It’s rare to see even dedicated self-trained athletes running sprints.
Typically, if you see somebody running sprints, there’s a coach directing this effort. If you don’t want to run sprints, but still want to build strength endurance the following circuit is a great alternative for boring sprint work. However, you’ll be doing 40 yard dashes. Boredom shouldn’t be an issue with this circuit. Fried lungs…well that’s another story.
The circuit is a follows:
- 1) Sled Crawl – 40 yards
2) Double Kettlebell Walk from Rack Position– 40 yards
3) Overhead Sandbag Lunge – 40 yards
4) Farmer’s Walk – 40 yards
Gather your implements (e.g.., Sled, Kettlebells, Sandbag, Farmer Walk bars) and place them all at the beginning of the course. First, perform the sled crawl for 40 yards, and then jog or walk back to the pile and grab the kettlebells and move the kettlebells to where the sled is. Do the same with sandbags and the farmer’s walk.
After you complete the circuit, rest 5 minutes and repeat. Repeat 2 to 3 times. Over subsequent workouts, work on decreasing the time it takes you to perform the circuit and gradually decrease your rest periods between circuits.
1) Sled Crawl: Stay on all Fours the whole time and rhythmically drive your legs
2) Double Kettlebell Walk for Rack Position:
3) Overhead Sandbag Lunge:
4) Farmer’s Walk:
