ANGELA’S WORKOUT CHALLENGE – STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING (VIDEO)

ANGELA’S WORKOUT CHALLENGE

Angela (my fiancée) created this monstrous program as a way to combine your 5 km run (which you should be doing 4-5 times per day) with strength training (which you should be implementing, 2-3 days rep week).

All you need is a treadmill, kettlebell, dumbbells and barbell.. You will complete 3 full sets with no rest in between. The sets consist of a 1 mile run and circuit of exercises with specified reps. Now, you can break up the reps in the circuit however you want, for example 25 step up – 25 push ups – 25 spring up and repeat until you reach the prescribes reps.










Combine these and you have Angela’s workout modality. I love it because it has the run for cardio and resistance training targets the entire body, implementing plyometrics, power, muscular endurance, abs and core.

The workout will take you about an hour or less, but make sure you time it, so you can try to beat it the following week.

Angela has four pro Muay Thai fights (4-0) and was a champion bodybuilder so training hard is nothing new for her. Angela helped kick my conditioning through the roof and we had to find inventive ways to get me run because I HATE RUNNING. This is a great workout for those of us who hate long runs.

Anyways, try this workout at home, gym or your MMA training facility.

Stay tuned for more of Angela’s MMA workouts!

  2. Did the routine this morning . . . kicked my butt! Angela must be super tough! I loved the workout, really challenged my cardio and my willpower to finish each rep . . . and the running was brutal but I can see how it will help me as I prepare for my 5k race. Thanks!
