www.MOSTmag.com || FITNESS MAG A ZINE || 13As I continued training with David for the Spartan Sprints he introduced me to some of the ANW obstacles inside his gym where we could avoid some of the TEXAS HEAT! Being that we are in TX.. Sometimes training in 100 degree weather is tough! The indoor training has also allowed me to gain strength in my upper body and learn how to use my body in motion to move through the obstacles.Some of my favorite indoor exercises are:Hanging/Swinging Rings (4 hanging rings at different spaces apart)Lache Bars14 ft Warped Wall (I am able to get up this fairly easily because of my sprint background!)Spider WallThere is still A LOT to learn and work on and with proper time for training it could be really fun to audition for next year%u2019s ANW.. Possibly being the oldest gal to enter if I ended up being cast! At the time of writing this my focus is on my next Spartan Sprint. With any new routine or exercise plan I have to prepare myself accordingly and with OCR It%u2019s no different!For those of you that are looking forward to training with David at PPF I have jotted down some helpful tips on preparing yourself based on my experience.1) Rest appropriately the night before you go so that you are READY for all the new training both mentally and physically. Learning the obstacles takes strength but it also takes brain power!2) Schedule your eating around the timing of your practice. Be sure to include plenty of high quality carbs (sweet potatoes are my personal favorite) for the 2 meals PRIOR so that you don%u2019t putter out too soon!3) Be sure to have full Glycogen storages, but not overly full where you feel sluggish! Should have your last high quality meal with Carbs/Protein/Healthy Fat 75 min%u2019s prior and at 30 min%u2019s before you start warming up, I like to use a product called BeetElite that opens up my blood vessels through the NO production to allow more nutrients from the great food I just ate to flow through my body and be used as energy! Plus beets are one of the superfoods that have survived ancient times to the present as one of the BEST sources of powerful macronutrients and natural antioxidants you can eat! After a workout >>>
