WWF’S CN TOWER CLIMB FOR NATURE celebrates it’s
30th ANNIVERSARY
For 30 years, wildlife lovers have climbed the CN Tower to raise millions of dollars for nature conservation across Canada and around the world. The CN Tower Climb consists of 1,776 meaningful steps towards a future where nature and wildlife thrive. Funds raised will support their mission to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which wildlife, nature and people thrive together.
Join our team and climb to the top together or help us raise funds. Here is the link to either join us or donate to our fundraising page: http://support.wwf.ca/site/TR?team_id=5294&fr_id=1230&pg=team
In order to make sure you too are able to reach to the top of the CN tower confidently and successfully this year, I’m providing you with a 4 week weekly progressive work out plan.
(Please note that you should first consult your physician or other healthcare professional if you have any acute or chronic injuries that might prevent you from climbing up stairs or have any respiratory or cardiovascular diseases or limitations before making the desicion on following this program or signing up for the CN tower climb.)
Without further ado here is Week 2 of The CN Tower Preparation Work Out Plan:
Cardiovascular focus:
Choose the cardio maschine of your choice, you can also mix it up- for example treadmill, rower, elliptical- and complete interval cardio 3 times a week for 20 min. 1 min of hard cardio intensity followed by 1 min of moderate to light cardio intensity followed by 1 min of hard cardio intensity and so on. (5 minutes warm up and 5 minutes cool down not included in this time!) With warm up and cool down your total amount of time will be 30 minutes.
Strengh focus:
