Leg Destroyer Workout

This is not your typical L.C. workout for these kids and very out of the norm for me. I had a fun time making up this workout and had not planned this before today.

We started out playing tag for 30 min. for our dry-land portion of the day. Then, following a hard kicking set, we went straight into a dry-land / sprint set involving squats, starts off the block into a feet-first entry, and then a 15 meter sprint. The kids were to then run back to the end of the line. They had asked how deep should their squats be and I told them to go about half way down. So, these ingenious kids decided to use the bottom step of the starting block as their deepest point. Pretty darn smart if you ask me. After that we put the fins on, to continue punishing the legs, and went 16x50 (4 on a min, 4 on 50, 4 on 45, 4 on 40) all free. Our most intense set of the day was only 4x100 sprint brst on over a min. rest. The hard part was that during that rest they were actually doing toe taps on the step. So, they really got NO REST.

All said and done, the kids really enjoyed the change of pace workout....and so did I.
