Walking with a trapbar

I know it was supposed to be the ‚shoes day’, but I figured that since I did a trapbar walk today, I can write about this briefly.

Ok so this is a trapbar. I put 2x10kg on it so that it makes sense. The whole thing weighs about 32-35kg.

My training is quite simple: every 7-10 days I take this trapbar for a short strolll around the neighborhood. I started with 200 meters and then slowly increased the distance. At the moment I can walk the first 200 meters without stopping and then I make 20-30 pauses after 60-80 steps.

This is what I did today. It was slightly longer than usually, but I didn’t want to push myself because the last 3 days have been a bit difficult for me at work. My current best time is 22 minutes.

Every yellow line is a short pause, the walk becomes a bit tricky around the middle because then I have to climb the hill again. As a result, I start with about 115 beats per minute but finish at 160.
My original plan 3 months ago when I bought this thing was to increase the weight slowly but I just can’t do it. It may not look that way but it’s quite exhausting even with 2x10kg only. Don’t be surprised if you have blurry vision for a while after a particularly strenous session. I do.
