One of my favorite blogs, Mark's Daily Apple, had a great post last week about urban workouts. The idea was to use almost anything you can find outside in your workout.
In the video that Mark posted, which I've embeded below, the guy makes his way along the bottom of some stairs using his hands and feet. Then he does it with just his arms.
Now, my workout yesterday wasn't urban -- it was in a gym. But one of the great things about working out is to take pieces of things you see elsewhere and incorporate them, or something into your workouts.
So at the end of my intervals I decided to try something similar to what I'd seen in the video. The pulley machine has a long bar connecting one station to the next. So I grabbed one end and made my way to the other by going hand over hand.
The distance was short but after sprints, side shuffles and dumbbell swings, it was tough. And it worked my entire body.
