Running / Conditioning after 40, 50, & Beyond (new workout plan inside)
Published: Wed, 01/31/24
We are having a little break in the frigid winter weather here in KC, so I got outside yesterday afternoon for some sprints!
I felt GREAT, and it was a reminder that I've gotta do this a lot more often.
When Mother Nature isn't cooperating, I'll fit in my cardio indoors instead.
Here’s what you need to know though - CONDITIONING is integral to any workout plan, but is an element that many seem to overlook.
People focus on getting stronger, which is great! - a person can do strength-focused kettlebell work, or any other well-designed progressive strength program for that matter.
People also focus on mobility - things like yoga, foam rolling, static stretching - this keeps you mobile, agile, and ready to move well and react to anything life throws at you.
But you know what tends to get kicked aside? Conditioning. This is about keeping your heart in shape, and burning more fat while you're at it.
I personally love sprints when it comes to a conditioning plan that can be ADDED ON to your kettlebell and mobility work.
They are better on many fronts than traditional jogging / running. They're safer (when done correctly), and more effective in less time.
And, if you do them smartly, they could be just what you need even when you hit 40 or 50!
