A stadium workout perfect for a college student, athlete, or at any stadium near you!
Sorry about the lack of workout posts. I’ve gotten so wrapped up in all my cooking creations that I forget to post workouts as well! So I’m going to start catching up on some more in the next few weeks 🙂
I’ve gotten a lot of requests for the workouts I did at the University of Florida. One of my favorite workouts was at our beautiful Ben Hill Griffin Stadium!
This is a workout I did while still up at college this past spring. A stadium is a great place to get in a fun, yet beneficial workout. You would be surprised at all the things you can do in a stadium. Don’t be fooled, you can do so much more than some cardio of running up and down the stairs (which is still a good thing to do!).
Where to Start?
I always start out with running some stairs just to get warmed up and my heart rate up. I will usually run for about 10-15 minutes, only going up to the first entrance (row 30 or 33), and then jog across to the next aisle, go down the stairs, jog across the bottom, and go up the next aisle’s set of stairs. Pretty self explanatory!
Then I begin to incorporate strength work!
This is where the fun creativity improvehearingnaturally propeciacomes in. I’ll do squats, squat jumps up the bleachers, ab exercises, push-ups, other arm exercises… the sky is the limit! Down below I’ll post exactly what I did one day.
Stadium Workout
–Run up and down stairs around stadium for 10-15 minutes
–3 sets of each of the following in a row
-squat jumps up the bleachers to row 30
-10 dips off of bleacher
-10 pushups
-ab leg raises (lay on bleacher with legs hanging off of end, keeping legs together, raise them up and then back down–20 reps)
–Rest in between sets for about 2 minutes
–Run up stairs all the way to the top of stadium (really far and hard, you’ll be dying by the time you reach the top)–walk or slowly jog down
–3 sets of the following in a row
-Plank walks up the bleachers to row 30 (switching direction of head half way through to work other side of abs and arms)
-Single leg squats off of bleacher–15 reps each leg
-10 decline pushups (feet on higher bleacher than hands)
–Run all the way to top one more time. Slowly jog or walk down
