Getting ready for the summer season- Better gym plan + beach volley inspired warm-up routine

Time went so fast! We had a two week membership to Holmes Places. This time was well spent, while we visited the gym about 5-6 per each week! We also took our gym training to next level, and started to try out new program to build more muscle. *Specially for Robert* Now we can show you how we modified the plan to suit us both. The idea was to increase the amount of weights and decrease repetitions, to improve the maximum power. It is also beneficial for the runners, just to let you know!
We used the app called Loox, to have a proper workout plan with videos. It is in German, but the videos are great. You may find it here:Loox

 
Since we are also starting to play beach volley, we took some exercises from here: which we (I, and sometimes Robert) included to the workout plan. For example, we did a warm up with the agility ladders and other slalom jumps. When we did arms, it was easy to combine jumps in between, since while the hands  were resting, we could use the time to improve the jumps (and still have enough time to rest!)

Beach Volley  training plan:



Including the jumps increases explosive power and coordination and burns calories as well! ​
For example we  made a warm up combining
3x 30s slalom jumps

10 x different kinds of in and out jumps (left side first, right side, with only one leg, etc)

And 3 x10 tuck jumps

Let the summer come and games start :D

Best,

Sara

But we  were not lazy in Finland either :D Sometimes it is so releaving to break the routine and just go and try out new things. You learn new skills and hehe.. find muscle pain in suprising places :D
