Truth be told, I hate doing conditioning exercises, especially interval running. I hate it to the point that I would rather squat 60kg for 4 sets than run at 24km/h for 20 seconds. I hate it so much that I would rather do 4 different exercises just to avoid running a single set of intervals. That’s how much I dislike conditioning exercises.
There are various exercises for conditioning and stamina, but I’ve only tried a few, and I hate all of them.
But hate is just hate—there are still no excuses, as I promised myself.
Today’s workout is conditioning and stamina day… sigh.
I also incorporated a few footwork drills, but they didn’t go as expected. It’s hard to do footwork on this slippery ground, and I was wearing my old, outstanding red Puma shoes.
| Drills | Sets | Reps |
|---|---|---|
| Sprint – 24 km/h – 2 min break each rep | 2 | |
| Crossover hockey stop | 3 | 20 |
| 5-10-5 drill | 6 | |
| Smith machine shoulder press – 5kg | 3 | 8 |
| Stamina triangle | 3 | 10 |
