Can you guys give me some advice on training for my "off season"

[claire]

I have never heard of them. BTW Hi claire

Hi GG! It is just using a barbell (you can add weight or just use the barbell) and switching from one exercise to another without rest. Resting only between circuits.

The articles show a list of different exercises that are good circuits. It can really kick your butt. You can get a great fullbody workout in a short amount of time.

I am a guy but something that got my running stronger when I trained with one of my buddies we would do 20 minutes of Cardio by Pushing a Car

One of us would hop in a slip it in Nuetral and the other would push like a OX nice a slow

at first it seem easy but Bam you hit a wall Fast.

Use a new parking lot ( shcools on weekend are perfect)
that is 100% flat amy slant willmake it too hard or imposible to push a car

You just reminded me that there was a trainer in my gym who had people doing that.

He also recommended running stairs/hills, and also walking/jogging carrying someone else..........

BINGO!

Running stairs is awesome! I've run the stairs at a local football stadium to throw a lil spice into my workouts,it damn near killed me! lol


Gymgurl- have you tried some yoga for the stretches you want to incorporate? Check out a yoga class in your area!

Now your talking. I would recommend starting by pulling a sled. You can make one easily. Just get an old tire, throw a rock in the center for weight, get a rope and belt. Then just drag it.

It isn't so much the exercise but the way you do them. And that can not be gauged or instructed here.

If you're training for a specific athletic event, do that event. A lot. Other than that, read this: http://www.elitefitness.com/reports/truth/
