If you are tired of just running, you can periodically arrange mixed workouts for yourself — complicate the level and add a little variety to your standard route.
By myself, I know that just like that, playing circles on an already familiar route gets boring pretty quickly. It will also not work to constantly change routes, since in most cases the choice of options is not so great. What to do? During the next run, take a closer look at what you come across on the way, and then use it as a training ground.
If there is a ladder somewhere on your route, you can arrange for yourself to run up the stairs. While running up the stairs, the muscles of the thighs, abs, lower legs and buttocks are more heavily loaded. Of course, it has its disadvantages, which should not be forgotten: a large load on the joints and injury risk, so do not forget to look at your feet.
You can just run up and down, or you can complicate it a little by running through the step.
Other options for running on the steps:
Just standing there and waiting for the green light to turn on is tedious, and there is always a slight irritation that the training is interrupted and time is being wasted. It is especially annoying when there are a lot of traffic lights on your way and you constantly run a red light. In order not to get angry and not to waste time just like that, we offer you a little static, for example, in a squat. If there is a traffic light pole, a fence or a building nearby, you can lean on and perform a squat with an emphasis on the wall.
Everything is simple here: benches can be used for push-ups, for lifting legs, for jumping, for ... for much more. :)
For example, like this:
Like this:
Or like this:
The last video is more suitable for classes not in the park, but somewhere on a sports playground.
The above workouts are full-fledged separate classes, and it will be difficult to combine them with jogging, but you can choose several exercises for yourself and try to do them during the next run.
