Fobbit Intervals: Conditioning that’s actually fun

Hate running? For those who don’t like steady state running here is a good way to get fit. It’s a workout from a book called Tactical Barbell II: Conditioning by K Black.

The book is part of a series focused on improving both strength and conditioning for tactical law enforcement candidates, soldiers and recreational athletes. This means the training can’t overshadow the need to perform on a day to day basis. This makes it a great workout to compliment general strength training.

The workout is “Fobbit Intervals” and it goes like this: Treadmill Run/Row/Skip x 2 Minutes

Kettlebell Swings x 20

Run/Row/Skip x 2 Minutes

Kettlebell Snatch x 10/arm

Repeat x 20 minutes

For this one you’ll set the treadmill at a pace slightly slower than a jog. You can use different weights for the swings and snatches.

I really enjoy this one. I can do it at home on my assault air bike and it doesn’t take long. Also the format is really easy to tweak to make it easier or harder. Try it sometime if you want something a little different.
