how to build a fitness trail ?





Fitness trail training is as bare bones as it gets. Regardless of the weather, being outdoors naturally motivates you and brings about an appreciation for training in the elements... Hitting the trails rather than the weights creates an ideal environment to step away from the hustle and bustle that happens in the gym and in life. Whether you’re a seasoned trail enthusiast or never paid much attention to them, here are some ways to diversify your training while you're on the trails. Pack up your gear bag with water, trail mix and protein powder and prepare to hit these stations with some different workout variations  .






One of the first stations you will approach is the push-up station  . A great body weight exercise to get the blood flowing and develop the chest, shoulders and triceps. Variation One: Try performing three sets of traditional pushups going to complete failure. Hit the ground, place your arms shoulder-width apart, back straight and feet together. Perform as many reps as possible. Rest 30-45 seconds in between each set. Variation Two: To turn it up a notch, give the plyometric version of the push-up a shot. From the traditional push up position, as you explode upwards quickly remove your hands from the bar, clap them and return back to the start position. Try performing three sets of plyo pushups to complete failure. Rest for 60 seconds in between sets. Variation Three: Single arm push-ups are the toughest of the challenges at this station. Begin from the traditional push-up position, place one hand to your side, behind your back or on your thigh. Perform as many reps as possible with one arm then switch to the other side. Rest for 60 seconds and perform one to two more sets
