Full Body Workout: Strengthen, Sweat and Run



Hi Everyone!

If you are looking for a great cross training day that incorporates running with strength training you are going to enjoy this workout!

I alternated cardio rounds in between each workout set. I ran on my treadmill, but the other option is to complete the jump rope workout video at the bottom of this post (1 round=6 minutes), or do another form of cardio of choice. The goal is to get your heart rate up, and work up a sweat. Challenging your body in this style will condition your for endurance gains, while improving your speed and running form.

My cardio of choice today was mile repeats. I ran a total of 4 miles during this workout. 

Remember to always work to your level, and adjust the challenge to your needs. :)

Enjoy the workout!
