The Most Awesome Holiday Workout of the Season

I always try to teach and inspire clients to design their own at-home workouts when the gym is not an option.  Some of my favorite group exercise class participants, married couple Frank and Angie Hopkins, traveled to Frank's small home town of Eden North Carolina.  Without access to any formal exercise equipment, these two turned an abandoned factory site into their own personal gym.  Check out photos of the site and the breakdown of their fantastic workout below.

Equipment:

1 12lb bucket of spackle

Bricks from around the site (ones together with concrete are best)

Workout:

3 rounds

Sprint to first station

20 Squat swings of bucket

Sprint to next station

20 Box Jumps on concrete slab (approx 20”)
