So while I wasn't running around Carrera Setenta of Medellin (the best street in the city in my opinion), I managed to get in a few creative workout sessions to try and maintain some athleticism. I didn't wanna end up looking like one of the Fernando Botero sculptures when I got back to the U.S....
So what did I do?
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I brought a jump rope and a bunch of EliteFTS resistance bands with me. I figured I'd be able to throw together some quick and challenging workouts, to keep me: 1) sane, 2) happy, 3) in the right mindset for when I got back to regular training/ post vacation.
One of the workouts I really enjoyed was as follows [Done on the roof top patio of one of the hotels-- I did this particular workout twice during the vacation]:
3/12 & 3/15 Workout
Warm Up-- 200 regular jumps w/speed rope
Circuit-- 100 jumps (25 regular, 25 alternating feet, 25 side to side, 25 cross overs and/or double unders for fun)
3 point Push-ups x 10
Step-Ups on stairs for Hot-Tub x 15 each leg
Rows w/ average band x15
Lateral Raises w/mini bands x 20
This was done 3-4 times through, keeping rest between Rounds at ~1-2 minutes, and rest between exercises at ~30 seconds.
