We’re here wondering what benefits may come about from performing hill repeats. One things is for sure it is the power output needed to keep going up and down this darned elevation. Speed of foot falls, leg strength, cadence of turnover, pulling power, lung capacity, breathing cadence…to name a few.

Yes, I know she don’t have big hills here with any type of elevation to speak of. Some may even say that our off ramps from the expressway exits are our urban hills! I wouldn’t argue with that one bit! We have to travel far for real elevation, but we make due with our Hill here at Westchester Woods.

So, today we’re inviting you to join us for a few hill climbs with load.

Working out deserves a standing commitment to yourself to improve on your well being internally as well as externally. Wonder why someone doing half as much as you looks better and more focused? It’s called rest, and good nutrition.

No amount of work will out perform sound nutrition and sleep. Sleep being the primary recovery tool for every human being. What do you fuel yourself with? Ever try working out in the morning in an empty stomach? It is tough, but your body adjusts and boy the spikes in energy are astounding!

Hydration, and not liquor the night or two before your workouts make a difference. It’s okay to grab a swig of water while you workout but lingering around the water bottle for more than swig is wasting time. Sip, and go. Teach your body to work a little harder without too much wasted movement will take you to another level mentally and physically. Try it, and get back to me with your results.
