Yesterday was supposed to be a 3 mile running day for my schedule, but my legs were feeling pretty gross so I decided to make it a cross training day. I’ll have to do my 3 miles either today or Friday.
What did I do for my cross training?
-A 30 minute yoga class from DoYogaWithMe (Free Yoga Classes online!)
This is the exact class I did:
Hips, Hamstrings, and Back
- Core exercises:
30 second side planks (the following picture is not me, although I’ve been told that I look good in red.)
45 second forearm plank (also not me)
60 seconds bridge
- Glute activation exercises:
25 Donkey kicks (each leg)
30 clam shells with a resistance band (each leg)
25 leg lifts with resistance band (each leg)
- Stretches:
Quadriceps/Hip Flexor stretch
Adductor Stretch
– Upper Body Exercises:
25 Pushups
25 Dumbbell Kickbacks
25 Dumbbell Lateral Raises
- Foam rolling, lacrosse ball rolling
What exercises do you do for cross training that is not gym related?
those exercises look great, got to write those down for one of my morning mini stretches.
you weren’t entirely specific. I hope the last 2 sets of faceless women weren’t you, either…
That is a really good circuit! Thanks for the yoga link, too. I’m always looking for cheap exercise options.
for cross training I usually just walk around the the block or go on the ellitpical. Love the plank for core work though
It’s a great website! I’m definitely going to use it more often!
I am terrible about strength cross training. I always go for a spin class or elliptical, which are both at the gym..so I fail that.
Spin classes are awesome though!
