The Bleacher Workout

Our last Terrain Fitness workout is done!  We met at Bertram field in Salem for an excellent bleacher workout.  Bertram field is the home of the Salem Witches.  The field has a 12 Monkeys, remote, abandoned feel to it somewhat.  A great place to let your Bleacher Frog Jump fly!

We spent most of our time on the bleachers and even though the thermometer was in the 20s, cold was not an issue.

The workout:
I. Warm Up with football; catch among friends

II. Low impact bleacher strength work - 5 drills for 90" each: Lunge Walk, Crab Walk, Frog Jump, Duck Walk (lateral) and Bear Crawl.  The video below illustrates these 5 exercises.  The Frog Jump is excellent.
