We might pass out while doing this workout...

So today my training partner and I are going to go back to when we started together (a month or so ago now) and do a workout we had a hard time with....and hope we got better!!

It is so important to evaluate your progress - can you do more reps now than you could?  Can you use more weight?  These are all great tools in checking in on your journey thus far.

I would also like to congratulate my training partner on losing 3 inches at her last measuring!! 

I am going to be doing mine soon to get my benchmark - Don't forget to do yours too!!

Here's the workout - ENJOY!

Location: Home
Equipment: Dumbbells, chair, med ball, BOSU, Mat

All exercises are timed 40 seconds, with 20 seconds rest in between (use a timer on your phone or a GYMBOSS timer).  We count reps (I will post those when we are done!) 4 Rounds (with a bonus round if we can!)

#1: Kneeling to standing (start kneeling on one knee, hop up to standing, and do a tuck jump - alternate legs)
#2: Push Ups with medicine ball or chest press
#3: Monkeys (modified for the wrist issue)
#4: Leg Drops
#5: Dips or Skull Crushers (one of us has a bum wrist)
#6: 6 high knees with 1 burpee (burpee modified for the wrist - done on a chair that forearms can rest on)
#7: Squat with Curl to Press

Remember that sometimes there are movements that require control, therefore the numbers may not increase much - that's OK!  The fact that we are doing it is what matters - in a safe environment, with proper form.

If you are unsure about any of the movements above - shoot me an email or comment below!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Cheers,

  1. Ok so we did pretty darn good with this workout. I messed up on the day, so we did it a couple of days ago - the one thing we found was that we always push so hard on the 1st round it can be hard to beat it - so pace yourself increase to 90-95% intensity by the end!
