The 25 Workouts in 25 Days Summer Challenge is all about bringing awareness to Amy Clover’s Strong Inside Out Tour. 
For 25 days (while Amy’s campaign is going on) I’m doing my own 10-ish minute workouts in 25 Minneapolis outdoor locations. I invite you to join me.
WORKOUT TEN @ BEARDS PLAISANCE
Last week I worked out with my friend Rachel and we met up again this week for another walk around the lake. A little more than halfway through we stopped at a nice little spot with a really mean hill. It’s gargantuan and way bigger + harder to get up than it looks. Rachel was like, “wha—aa…stopping here, what are we going to do?” Then I pulled out the bands I’d been carrying.
These cute little bands also carry a mean kick once you wrap them around both your ankles and start trudging up a hill. Rachel was rocking it, she’s got some mighty strong and awesome legs.
If you want to do this workout and don’t have a band (you can buy one here and they’re only a $4 investment) then just do side squats stepping up a hill without a band. It’s still gonna kick your booty.
- 25 up-hill band walks right side
- 25 up hill band walks left side
- 25 up-hill band walks right side
- 25 up-hill band walks left side
- Take the band off and run up the remaining portion of the hill
- Jog down the hill and do:
- 10 push ups
- 10 jump squats
- 10 burpees
- Repeat through 3 times total
Total time 9.5 minutes + we had an awesome 3-mile walk around Lake Harriet 
Once we’d finished we walked the rest of the way around the lake…we both agreed we could’ve done one more round of the exercises but we didn’t. If you’re feeling up to the challenge do it 4 times through!
Verdict after day 10: Every day that I get in a workout and spend time with friends and family while moving my body I feel better. I’m almost halfway through the challenge so I KNOW the hard part is coming up (the middle of anything is notoriously difficult) but I’ve got a plan and I’m excited to follow through.
