10 Veloci Workouts Per Le Vacanze
A meno che tu non sia nel bel mezzo dell'allenamento per il tuo prossimo evento, le vacanze sono un'opportunità per utilizzare i nostri programmi extra e i periodi di allenamento più brevi come una sorta di modalità di manutenzione, o almeno qualcosa di meno rigoroso.
I seguenti 10 allenamenti sono un buon mix di forza funzionale e condizionamento per mantenere la vostra preparazione alla gara. Ci sono anche un paio di test se stai cercando una sfida divertente. Vuoi dare la priorità al recupero attivo? Prova i due allenamenti a basso impatto per sfruttare questo tempo per ridurre un po' il peso.
