Nike Lunar Glide 4 Review

I decided to get these shoes because they were on sale. These are the Nike Lunar Glide 4. When the Glide 5 version launched, these went on sale. After doing a little research I found that there weren’t any big updates between the 4th and 5th version. These shoes took me a little longer to get used to. I was still getting hot spots after a couple of runs. After finally breaking them in, they felt better. I’ve only used them on shorter runs and on Sunday’s while doing circuit training. I don’t think that these shoes would hold up to the pounding I would put them through. A CheFit teammate also has these shoes and he alternates them as his daily running shoe. He likes them a lot. I am a heavier guy so I tend to push the support & cushioning of my shoes more. Four miles would be my limit in these. For our circuit training these are great. They are light enough to feel agile in them and contain enough support for plyometric exercises. These shoes do take a little longer to break in and still feel a little stiff. There aren’t any real ridges on the bottom of the shoe so I feel like I tend to slide if the ground is slick. Aesthetically the upper looks and feels cool, but the bottom Lunarlon material doesn’t look good. Original price: $110 - $120 I’ve put about 100 miles on these shoes. - Pacer

Circuit #3 - Hope Solo Workout

This circuit is based on Hope Solo's "15 minute workout". All of the exercises are demonstrated via Nike athletes. The workout is designed to be intense and executed in bursts of activity. If done correctly, you should be dripping with sweat and be able to maintain an increased heart rate. The exercises touch on all muscle groups so you should feel it everywhere once done. If using a timer, try to clear out an area sufficient enough to be able to perform every exercise. Have your equipment (dumbbells/med ball) readily available within arms reach. Set the timer to anywhere between 15-30 seconds and roll through each exercise. Once done, rest and hydrate for a few minutes and then repeat the round. You can decrease the timer time each round if needed. Try to see how many "rounds" you can complete before becoming completely gassed. *** If not using a timer, you can perform a traditional workout by assigning a rep/set amount to each exercise. The exercises used here vary as far as the equipment needs. Dumbbells are used in some, while others only require bodyweight. Examine the example videos and use your best judgement to decide what is needed for your own individual needs. A medicine ball is not required but works better for a few exercises. If possible, having various weights of dumbbells will help you maintain a maximum amount of effort each round. A great portion of these exercises have not been used here before. Video examples are linked below so take time to review them and practice your form before hitting the workout. Good luck!
