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,

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!
