conditioning over the holidays – stair climb

Katrina from Westwinds Gymnastics recommends her kids do series of stair runs alternating with specific conditioning:

It would be a good idea to keep up with some of your conditioning and flexibility over the break (especially the girls attending Trials to AWG). Here is a short easy program you can do at home EVERYDAY to make the first day back a little bit easier:

– 3x stair runs (up and down is 1)
– 30 sec Samson/split stretch
– 3x stair runs
– 10x sit ups
– 3x stair runs
– 10x back extensions (or superman lifts)
– 3x stair runs
– 10x squats
– 3x stair runs
– 10x modified dips on the edge of your bed
– 3x stair runs
– 10x push ups
– 3x stair runs
– 10x V-snaps
– 3x stair runs
– 10x burpees

Then… 2 minutes of splits each way. If you are in Group B, take the cushion off your couch and use that for 2 minutes of over split front and back leg.

I’ve been hitting the stairs myself of late, sometimes carrying my bike. Good exercise for those of us who used to be has-beens.
