What a week end !!!

Jordan is one of my favorite destinations… Friends, fun, adventure, just a fantastic getaway, a home away from home.
Lovely people, locals, bedouins, expats, everyone is just so welcoming and warm, fun and helpful, makes you feel so much at home, you would want to come back for more.
For that week end, I visited Jordan for the Full Moon Desert Marathon and Half Marathon organized in Wadi Rum by FlashBack Adventures http://www.flashback-adventures.com/. FBA: a fantastic team of cool, active, great spirited people and most of all reliable and trustworthy. Couldn’t wish for a better team to be lost in the desert with, in the middle of the night :)

A Workout For PB Brown :) And Everyone Else ……

Posted by Ritta TT on April 10th, 2012

Warm up your shoulders very well before starting this workout:

The Bear Crawling Circuit: ( exercises explained at the bottom )

Go 4 rounds for time:

20 OHS

50 meters Bear Crawling

20 Bar LumberJacks

50 meters Bear Crawling

20 Elephant walk

50 meters Bear Crawling

20 Straight arm Dumbbell Renegade Row from bench ( 10 left, 10 right ) Finish with 2 push ups.

50 meters Bear Crawling

OHS :

Over Head Squat with a bar, alternatively substitute the OHS with 20 Step Ups on each leg with a bar of moderate weight. Bench height for step ups should be at least at your knee level .

Bear Crawling:
Go on all fours and crawl forward hips high up as far as possible, moving arm and leg of same side together.
LumberJacks:
Carry on one shoulder, a bar of a moderate weight, preferably a short bar, with both hands in the middle of the bar, press it above your head and down to the other shoulder, keep pressing left and right 20 reps.
Elephant Walk :
From a straight-legs position, with your feet shoulder width, bend down to the ground to a spot where your hands are flat on the ground in front of you , shoulder width, hips high up. This is your starting position. It’s like you are making an inverted “V” with your body. Start walking forward with your hands as far as possible until your body is parallel to the floor and hands as far as possible beyond your shoulders line ( superman plank )  pause one second, squeeze the glutes to protect the lower back and then walk your hands back to the starting position. Always walk strong with your full palms on the ground not the tip of your fingers and the feet never move from their original spot.
Renegade Row:
Starting position: Get into a plank position with your feet up on a bench, your hands on a pair of dumbbells on the floor. Start with your legs slightly wider than shoulder width apart. If you find the exercise too difficult, move your feet further apart, which gives you more stability. As you get stronger, you can move the feet closer together. Tighten your abs as hard as you can, lift one dumbell off the floor with your elbow coming against your lats, bring the dumbell back down change arms and repeat. You need to keep your hips facing the floor throughout the entire movement. Twisting your body makes the Renegade Row a lot less effective. Finish with 2 standard push ups your hands still on the dumbbells.
