What do YOU do instead of roadwork?

I walk briskly up and down a flight of stairs for half an hour every day. By the end, my heart rate is 160, so I don't do any more!

my capoeira group is on teh high end of fitness buffs (i.e. we also have a lot of gym training as well as capoeira training) so we alternate between pyramid lifting, toning lifting, and burnouts for weight cardio. Then we hit the ellipticals for 40-60 minutes. In a night, its weights, then capoeira, then cardio afterward. No sleep for the wicked.

Tabatas and HIIT - no long bouts of boring and muscle-eating roadwork neccesary!

I follow Ross Enamait's program, and anyone who does that knows that weight/strength training and cardio should be the same thing.

Here's my morning workout this morning...

As many of these as you can do in 20 minutes (very tired after New Year weekend... only got 6 done)

10 Pullups
5x dumbell swings w/ each hand - 30lbs. (dumbell on ground between legs, explode up and swing weight [straight arms] to fully extended over head, return to ground, rinse and repeat)
10 Clapping pushups
10 Knee tucks (deep squat, jump and touch knees to chest in the air)

Strength, endurance, conditioning, explosiveness - full body.

Give it a try... it'll knock you on your butt for sure.

I'll run at full sprint through the forest (like the trees and branch/rock covered dirt not the walking path cuz that's boring) while throwing punches and doing the occasional roll if there's a clearing. Then after a while I'll stop to climb trees, throw heavy rocks and logs around aimlessly (there is never anyone around where I go so its not dangerous) and do various bodyweight excercises and then run back to where my bike is (this whole routine lasts roughly 45 mins but its intense.) Then I'll bike home (more like 20 mins) and before I let myself rest or take a shower I force another 80~100 push ups out of myself.

I only do this once a week or twice if I'm on vacation cause it's really time consuming I also run, swim or bike pretty much every day for lesser periods of time (usually about 15~30mins) not to mention I also do weightlifting and bw stuff on a regular basis

I know this is an old post, but shouldn't your tag say ninjitsu? You know you want to....

Running is boring as ****

Alex you fag, running's good for you. It's even better when you get chased by packs of wild dogs, it forces you to sprint like there's no tomorrow.

I suspect someone's supplying wild dogs to muay thai camps all across thailand. Seems like every training camp has them. Maybe you could go get some.
