It was a beautiful day Saturday. As always I do my morning body rotations to get the kinks out when I wake up. The sun was shining and it wasn’t too hot. I met up with my friend to go to the park and get in some bodyweight exercises and some running while playing frisbee.
Here’s what I ended up doing:
10 bodyweight rows
1 pullup followed by 1 dip, repeat 6 times.
The pullups and dips were done in the kids jungle gyms, so from pullups I climbed up to a spot where I could do the dips and then had to climb down one of those weird shaped ladders to get back to where I was doing pullups.
After that I did some single leg step ups on to a park bench. 3 sets of 5 reps with a small break (like 20 seconds) in between sets.
We then headed over to the soccer fields where we tossed the frisbee around to get warmed up. The key to a good frisbee workout is to make the catcher run. Never through the frisbee directly to them. Imagine they are being guarded, like in ultimate frisbee. If you throw it directly at them, the blocker could intercept. Aim a few feet away from them and then they have to break away and make it to the frisbee.
After the warmup, we did a few run and pass drills. At least thats what I call it. Basically we start at one end of the field. You start running and I pass the frisbee to you. When you catch it, like in ultimate frisbee, you have to stop running. After I throw the frisbee to you I start running.
After I pass you by a few yards, you throw the frisbbee to me. When I catch it, I stop running. We did this from one end of the soccer field to the other. We take a quick rest to let the heart rate come back down, by walking back to the other end of the field, and then do it again. This felt great.
Let me know if anybody tries this out or does something similar.
