This weeks workout

Sledding down the hill,

Since this workout does not include walking up the hill, you’ll need a friends help to pull you up in the sled.

For the beginner, chose a long straight hill so all you’ll need to do is sit there. Make sure you use the big blue sled.

For the intermediate, chose a long curvy hill. The curves will give your arms exercise while steering around the corners. But if you haven’t worked up to being an intermediate, your arms will not be able to handle the curves and you will get even more exercise when you have to crawl out of the snow bank and right the sled. Use the little blue sled, turns an a dime.

And for the advanced, chose a long, steep curvy hill, and use the little orange sled. The sled is a very important choice for the advanced work out, this particular orange sled does not move on its own free will. Even on the steepest hill you will need to push your self all the way down, naturally this will strengthen your arm muscles and your patience. If you were expecting a faster ride for an advanced sledding workout, use the beginners sled on the intermediate hill; that will give you the advanced sledding experience…this particular piece though was for a workout, not a fast ride.

And for those of you who live where the snow doesn’t fall(may God bless you anyway), we have even thought up a sledding exercise for you!

What you’ll need:
A very steep and grassy hill
1 cardboard box,
1 large plastic bag,(preferably a none rip glad bag)

Place the box in the bag and have a friend carry it to the top of the hill. Place yourself in the box in the bag on the top of the hill. Give yourself a gentle push, not too hard or you’ll start somersaulting, just hard enough to get going. Then hold on for dear life and once you reach the bottom don’t stop, just jump out of the box and keep running because who ever owns the grass on the hill is bound to be a bit upset about all the fun your having.
