Warming Up with KB Windsprints

All All MECA Backblasts

February 12th, 2016 By Helga

5 mighty men of Harrisburg braved the freezing temps and wind chill to throw some iron down. YHC thought the best way to stay warm was a mix of KB exercises along with wind sprints. Here is how it went:

Split into two teams – Team 1 runs island wind sprints; while Team 2 completes KB exercise – switch off when Team 1 returns

  1. Thank you for the opportunity to lead!

  2. No one should miss a Helga workout!! We always learn an interesting nugget when he leads. I never knew that Babe Ruth was the innovator that he was…..
    Also liked the constant motion that kept us warm!!!

    1. Thanks @Kojak!
