The trial class of 'CardioAdventure' went great! Starting out as a group of six (with an age range from 15-50+), we began with a team acceleration run. Running in a straight line, the runner at the back sprinted to the front of the running line, and we continued this for approx 200m. After this, we got to our first checkpoint where we started with box jumps and tennis ball sprints for 45sec on for 2 rounds. Tennis ball sprints were a combination of speed and accuracy. I dropped the tennis balls and as soon as they hit the ground, the sprinters took off at full speed attempting to catch the tennis balls.
After a quick water break, we made our way to a basketball court. The group split into two, one group doing sprints in between the basketball poles, and the other doing two-foot hops over a painted line for 60sec. The goal of the bball pole sprints was to see how many times you could touch each pole within a minute. After a brief rest, the runners had to beat their previous score or else they owed me pushups :):) Sounds like fun!? It was! And it wasn't over yet!
At this point we had run about 1.5km, and were 25 minutes into our workout. We continued on at a good pace to the next checkpoint, a park on College Manor St. 10 Hill sprints and 60 sec planks on swings was the challenge at this point!

Back to running, we had 1.5km to go to return to the Magna centre. Running at a brisk, but manageable pace we finished in 45 minutes with a total of 3.68km run (including all of the bodyweight strength training at the checkpoints). The final 15 minutes included flying burpees, pushups and jumping jacks.
The CardioAdventure is a great way to test out your running skills. Our farthest distance will be 5km total, will always stay as a group and I'm sure you will find somebody who is at your pace for running!
Running is a great way to experience the outdoors, lose weight, and meet new people. The bodyweight strength training checkpoints are a great intermission from the running, and allow you to strengthen and define the total body - which cardio alone cannot do.
