A Football Field Workout {and a giveaway!}

3/28/2016

10 Comments

 
You probably already know this - but one of my all time favorite places to workout is at a track/football field! Call me a football wife nerd, but I think it's so fun! I would love to do workouts and runs in stadiums all over the country! With my husband's career - I suppose it's quite likely!  I often bring my Moms in Motion class over to our college football field for some extra outdoor fun. We all love letting the kids run and play out on the field while we get our sweat on. Here is one of my favorite workouts that is great to do a with a friend - and is super kid friendly too! As the weather has been getting warmer already here in TX, our days at the field may become limited, but for now, we're still enjoying them. I always remind my class (and myself!) how important it is to bring along water! I've been loving my new Glasstic Water Bottle and it comes with me everywhere I go now! Between pregnancy and this South Texas heat - staying hydrated is SO DANG IMPORTANT.

The only things you need for this workout are a track and field, a water bottle (especially out here in hot South Texas!) and some good shoes! An adorable cheering squad doesn't hurt either!

The Workout:

  • 1 mile run (4 laps around the track)
  • Dynamic Warm-up Moves like side shuffle, grapevine, tin man and back pedaling from the goal line to the 20 yd line and back.
WATER BREAK!
  • From the Goal Line to the 25 yd line run suicides - at the 25 yd line do 20 side hops over the line - then do walking lunges back. Repeat 3x.
WATER BREAK!
  • 100 burpees! (this one is a great to do with a friend or two and get 100 reps as a team! We each do 10 or so burpees at a time, and rest and recover while our team mates do theirs!) Or if you're feeling super badass - do them all yourself! 
​WATER BREAK!
  • Cool down 1/2 mile (2 laps around the track)
  • Stretch

I often plan water breaks into my workouts so I don't forget! As warmer weather is approaching - don't forget to stay really hydrated! When you're working out and you start to feel dizzy or light headed or maybe have a headache, those are all signs that you need water! You don't ever want to get to this point - so be prepared! I aim to drink a gallon a day. When I do - I feel so much better!

​ If you've been wanting to use a glass water bottle but don't dare because you're a klutz or you have kids who love to use your water bottle (I happen to have both of these problems) - I totally recommend checking out this Glasstic Water Bottle. It's shatterproof (and trust me, we've already tested it out NUMEROUS times!) with a strong plastic shell around an interior glass bottle! It's super easy to clean, comes in really fun colors and is perfect for when I want to add fruit or oils to my drinks! Plastic is so not cool you guys - I was pumped when I found this bottle that is so kid friendly AND glass!

This was such a great workout! I loved being able to workout with your Moms in Motuon class while I visited (and on the football field no less!) I love working out on football fields too! I think I'd like to workout on Boise St field (just because it's blue....haha)
Your water bottle is super awesome too! If I don't win it, I'll definitely order it through your code!
