Hill Bounding
Hey All
I know this is your favorite work out! Hill bounding is a great for intensity. It hits all of those ski muscles and increases that cardio that we all want when we hit that last hill in our races. So any way here is how this works.
Start out with a good warm up; about 15 - 30 min. of Zone 1
Find a good hill one that you can get at least 3 min. of interval out of
Then you are ready to start:
Start with a 1 min. interval bounding hard
Next a 2 min. interval with a little shorter stride
Third a 3 min. interval doing a fast walking bound
Fourth do another 3 min. interval fast walking bound
Now back down one 2 min shorter bounding
One 1 min bounding hard
See how you feel through out this process and if at the end of this work out you still are wanting more, do another one min. interval.
Don't forget to do atleast a 10 min. cool down.
Alright have fun! I will be hitting the trails about 5 pm today if any one wants to join me. I will be starting from the lower Happy Jack parking lot, hope to see you there!
