Daddy Daughter Workout Wednesday: Cardio Fit.

PREPARE YOURSELF

Dadddy Daughter Workout Wednesday: Cardio Fit.

Today Amelia and I demonstrate a fun little circuit that resembles a 5k!  It can be done in the span of your driveway or just an open space.  

Here’s the workout:  Start w/40 jump ropes (Alternate 10 air squat if no jump rope available). Then “Bear Crawl” for about 30 feet.  Next:  20 “Mountain Climbers” followed by a quick run back to your jump rope/starting spot.  ENJOY!  Repeat the circuit 10 total times.  Rest as needed:)

How Does This Resemble a 5K?

Well…The jump rope is like the start of the race! Our heart rate goes up, we pick up our feet and our pace! The bear crawl is like that feeling at the 2 mile mark…you know, when your legs feel tired and it’s like a bear crawled on your back. The mountain climbers are that last little incline/hill, it’s where form matters and mental strength count! The final run back to the start is just like the sprint into your finish (Only here we finish at the last/10th interval!!)

GOOD LUCK & ENJOY!!!

Check In Time!

Did YOU try yesterdays workout? How did it go? Let me know your questions & comments, I love your feedback and look forward to hearing about you progress and success!!

STAY TUNED for tomorrows workout…More Fun Fitness to Come!!

Keep Moving…

Stay Healthy & Sane:)

Daddy Daughter Workout: Tuesday Abs

PREPARE YOURSELF

Daddy Daughter Workout: Tuesday Abs

Home workouts can be fun and you can start anywhere at any time! Today Amelia and I are demonstrating an Up/Down Ladder style abdominal workout. We start with small reps and go UP…this way regardless of your starting point you can TRY! If you’re looking for a challenge…you go UP the rep count & come back DOWN! It’s a challenge for sure!

HERE’S THE WORKOUT: Start with a 20 second forearm plank. Then we do 2 Reps of Each: Leg Lifts/Curls. Crunch Twists. Scissors. That’s the sequence. You go UP the time (Increasing plank 10 seconds each round) and rep count (Adding 2 more reps each round!) climbing to 1 minute plank and 10 reps of each exercise. THEN: You go back Down the ladder until you return to 20 second plank and a rep count of 2.

It’s a simple but TOUGH one! Start where you are and go as far as you can! There’s always room for improvement…just start by giving it a TRY!!

Check In Time!

Did YOU try yesterdays workout? How did it go? Let me know any questions or comments, I love your feedback and look forward to hearing about your progress and success!!

STAY TUNED for tomorrows workout…it’s gonna be good!!

Stay Healthy & Sane: Keep Moving!

PREPARE YOURSELF.

There is a lot that goes into preparing for a Marathon.  Logging miles…doing repeats…strength training…nutrition/hydration, so many variables!  There are good training days and tough weeks.  It’s such a combination of mind and body, discipline and optimism. 

Such are the parallels with the current situation.  We have long days…Repeating thoughts, doubts, and fears…we need all our strength (both physical and mental!)  It takes discipline to stay focused…specifically on our snacks and food choices…working out can be both stress relieving and stressful.  Staying optimistic with social distancing can feel sluggish at best. 

If you’ve ever trained for a marathon…you’ll recognize many of these same feelings!  Sure, the focus is absolutely different, but the history of experience can help bring relief:  This too shall pass.  The finish shall come!  Look Up!  

Not a marathoner??  That’s ok!  Remember running 1/4 mile repeats with Leapfrog!?  Remember those feelings!? 
The first one being…ok…
The third one feeling optimistic! 
The seventh one:  Having Doubts! 
The 10th one: wanting to quit! 
The 12th one!  The Finish!  The feeling of all your Strength!  Your pride in Perseverance! 

Your Posture…Your Vision…Your Breath!!! 
  

I look forward to re-grouping face face as soon as possible:)  Until Then:

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

Stay Safe and Sane…

KEEP MOVING FORWARD

What could be more appropriate in these times than this???  Keep moving forward…

Things are not ideal, but every storm runs out of rain, all we can do is adapt and modify, adjust our sails.  

Keeping these sayings in mind, we are sorry to have to cancel our group practices and Leapfrog Socials for the coming weeks.  IT IS NOT THE END OF THE ROAD.  We are merely adjusting our stride and changing pace:)  As we practice what we preach at Leapfrog we will offer modifications to our normal workout routine.  

If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the Daily Fitness Calendar online through this link.  This is a great way to start your day or at least get some direction/inspiration!  ALSO:  if you haven’t checked out the Zoom App yet, may I suggest downloading it here.  It creates a virtual meeting room where we can see and hear each other from our cell phone, tablet or computer!  I will be hosting daily sessions with some opportunity for community movement while in quarantine!  Will it be a bit awkward at first?  YES!  It’s gonna be weird…it’s gonna be different…it’s gonna be funny at times…it’s gonna be worth it!  EVERY SMALL STEP…  

Thank You for keeping moving along with me!  I’m here for each and every one of you!  You may always feel free to CALL or TEXT with anything you need to share!  Times are tough…Training is tough…Friendship and Support are here!!!  

I look forward to re-grouping face face as soon as possible:)  Until Then:

PREPARE YOURSELF.

One of the things you’ll hear repeated at a Leapfrog Practice is:  “Know Thyself.”  It comes with the territory of perceived effort coaching, know your effort!  It is also along these lines that effective coaching involves knowing your athletes.  Although Leapfrog is a Form & Fundamentals focused training group, we also coach strategy, discipline and encouragement.  Leapfrog seeks to develop strong athletes physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.  In addition to our weekly group workouts we also host monthly socials to build better connections to our members.  

Membership has more to offer than just savings and socials though!  Membership also builds relationships and shares experiences.  As you may have read earlier in this newsletter…our members check on each other, they care!  We support one another through our efforts and actions.  I’m happy to say that many a friendship has started at Leapfrog:)

I like to take this time to invite you start your journey with Leapfrog if you haven’t yet…and challenge you if you’ve been a part of Leapfrog!  I invite you to JOIN LEAPFROG 3 mornings a week for our local group practices!!  It’s here that we not only build strong fundamentals, master the basics but we also build strong friendships and supportive group dynamics. I would also like to take this opportunity to Challenge You!  SIGN UP for LEADVILLE!!!  “You ARE Stronger than you think you are!”  “You can do more than you think you can!”  Accept the challenge of running at 10,000 feet!  Is it easy???  NO.  Is it work??  YES!  Can you finish???  I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!  Take the challenge…Sign Up and I promise we will get you there…up to 13,000 and back to the FINISH LINE!!  

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

DESTINATION RACE sign up for The Leadville Marathon & Heavy 1/2.  It’s taking hill running to the mountains and giving everyone the opportunity to truly test your limits.  I hope you will consider joining us for the challenge that is Leadville, CO to take on the Mountains!!

Cheers Everyone!!

Live from The Track 3/11/2020. Fartlek Workout

PREPARE YOURSELF

TRACK WORKOUT. SURGES

Learn…Practice…Workout

Today @Leapfrog we did a Fartlek Workout: Practicing Surges. It was a great way to practice discipline and pace management. Each runner got to choose their interval length and manage the pace of their surge! Running is more than just physical! Having the mental strength and discipline to run the full distance you choose for your surge…being responsible for both the pace and distance of each interval. Leapfrog offers coaching of both the mind and body:)

NEXT UP: Friday 10k Training Series at Artis Naples 6a.m. Followed by the Friday Night Swim/Social at 6p.m. From the Naples Beach Hotel.

Don’t Forget: Destination LEADVILLE, we have room for 1-2 more runners!! Challenge Yourself.

PLUS: Our Monthly Leapfrog Social is coming up soon!! Be sure to JOIN LEAPFROG for your invitation, daily workouts and discounts.

PREPARE YOURSELF.

It’s not as easy and singular as we like to think!

At Leapfrog we speak of Preparing Oneself in terms of not only Physical Prep…but also Mental Prep/Confidence & Emotional Prep/Belief in Yourself to Succeed!

We work not only on having the physical capacity to perform but also have the mental fortitude to push beyond known limits.  That’s always the nature of achieving Personal Records!  Helping athletes develop both physical and mental strength is a primary focus at each Leapfrog practice.  We provide workouts to challenge both the physical and mental strength of each individual.  It’s not just running repeats that matters…it’s the mental strategy, it’s digging into the emotional toolbox for the strength and energy to finish strong…It’s being both Disciplined and Fearless!  

Being “more better” is a goal for each athlete…for each repeat…for each workout.  We all know how to breathe…at Leapfrog we work to breathe better.  We all know how to run fast…at Leapfrog we work to run faster & better (Better mechanics, better form, better efficiency!)  

Leapfrog looks to build each workout to “Stack” on top of previous activity and to always be thinking ahead logically as to hit the most important workout when the body and mind are most ready!  It’s a sequence for sure that works with and impacts the athletes overall life and activity.  To PREPARE YOURSELF is not to just run more or lift more or bike more…it’s to build more.  You must build with thoughts of complete life and activity.  You must plan rest, recovery, form, mentality and intensity.

I like to take this time to invite you start your journey with Leapfrog if you haven’t yet…and challenge you if you’ve been a part of Leapfrog!  I invite you to JOIN LEAPFROG 3 mornings a week for our local group practices!!  It’s here that we not only build strong fundamentals, master the basics but we also build strong friendships and supportive group dynamics. I would also like to take this opportunity to Challenge You!  SIGN UP for LEADVILLE!!!  “You ARE Stronger than you think you are!”  “You can do more than you think you can!”  Accept the challenge of running at 10,000 feet!  Is it easy???  NO.  Is it work??  YES!  Can you finish???  I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!  Take the challenge…Sign Up and I promise we will get you there…up to 13,000 and back to the FINISH LINE!!  

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

DESTINATION RACE sign up for The Leadville Marathon & Heavy 1/2.  It’s taking hill running to the mountains and giving everyone the opportunity to truly test your limits.  I hope you will consider joining us for the challenge that is Leadville, CO to take on the Mountains!!

PREPARE YOURSELF

Live from The Track

Learn…Practice…Workout

Today at our Form & Fundamentals Track Practice we looked at torso engagement as it relates to pace change. We focused on Breathing and Arms. The workout consisted of some abdominal work, push ups, wall squats and running. At Leapfrog we look into “How” we run…the way we use all parts of our body for faster, more efficient running.
