Fitness Challenge Day #15

Today was day 15 of my challenge and I decided to try something a bit different.  Someone else pointed out a website that is very similar to bodyrock.tv called myomytv.com.  Marianne puts together the myomytv.com website and has a number of bodyweight workouts that are very similar to Zuzana's workouts.  However, Marianne has a few moves that are a bit different than any I've seen before and thought they'd be fun to add to the bodyrock.tv workouts to change things up a bit.  The myomytv.com website also has lots of kettleball workouts for people who are interested in that style of exercise. 

Today I did the Shoulder and Core Bodyweight Burn workout (http://www.myomytv.com/shoulder-and-core-bodyweight-burn/).  This workout had 2 parts, the first being the core and shoulder work and the second focused on legs.  The first part consisted of 3 rounds of 6 different exercises, each performed at intervals of 15 seconds rest and 45 seconds maximum intensity work.  The 6 exercises in this part are as follows:

1. Squat-Roll-Squat

2. Walking Bridge

3. Push Up Crawl

4. L-Situp

5. Superman

6. 1-foot Close Push-up (tricep pushup)

The push-ups were definitely the hardest part of this section.  My heart rate got up there a bit but I didn't feel too taxed after completing the 3 rounds.  The second part of this workout was performed Tabata style, with 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest.  There were 2 rounds of the following 4 exercises:

1. Power Jumping Jacks

2. Mountain Climbers

3. Dynamic Squats

4. Reverse Lunge with Kick

This section really got me breathing hard and got my heart beating.  The hardest parts were the Power Jumping Jacks and the Dynamic Squats.  This was a really good way to finish the workout.
