How To Do A Swim Run Workout

Foreign.

Hey, what's up, you guys? It's Ben Greenfield. And the reason that I'm wearing my swim cap and my goggles right now is I just got done doing one of my favorite workouts I want to tell you about. It's a swim run workout. I'm going to show you all the gear that you need for this workout, the way that I do it, and I'm just going to lay this out exactly for you. Okay? You want to put on some kind of swimwear, alright, So I get on my jammers and then you also, if you're going to be running and you want to be careful of like glass and nails and stuff like that, because you'll be transitioning real quick from the swim to the run, you want to wear something like a Vibram five finger, something along those lines. Okay. And what you're going to do is you're going to leave your house and you're going to run to the nearest body of water. Okay? In my case, I've got a river near my house. If you live by a lake or a beach, that works fine too. Okay, you got your swim cap, you got your goggles. You can run with your goggles up if you want to. You don't have to have them on your eyes per se. And then you want to. I like music. When I'm doing my swim run workout, I like to throw on my techno tunes. So I got a pair of zogs, ZOG headphones and I put them over top of my normal waterproof headphones and then I've got one of these waterproof ipod shuffles. Okay, so, so I get geeked out in all this stuff and then I go out and I just swim for a hard 100, 200, 500, 1000, whatever. Get out of the water, run. Get back in the water, swim out of the water, run. And it's an awesome, awesome routine. So I'll usually do routine like that for anywhere from like 30 to 60 minutes, swimming to running. Try it out, you'll love it. It's called the swimming run Ben Greenfield workout thing.
