Daily Workouts

Well, I've still been working out daily... I just haven't been doing a good job of keeping track of my workouts.  I'm not going to try to recap all of my workouts since my last post but did want to mention today's workout as well as 2 other workouts I recently did that were my own design but completely inspired by the bodyrock.tv website.

Today's workout was from the myomytv.com website.  It was called the Six Pack Abs-Hide and Seek (http://www.myomytv.com/six-pack-abs-hide-and-seek/).  I altered it slightly by changing the intervals to 15/45,  adding push ups to the burpees, subbing high knees for the skipping rope, and using my TRX to perform the pikes (I don't have an exercise ball).  The cardio parts of the workout were tough but the core exercises mixed in kind of gave me a breather.  Overall, it was a milder workout than some of the others I've done recently so I added a 3rd round to make the entire workout last 24 minutes instead of 16. This workout consisted of the following 8 exercises:

1. Bupees with push up

2. Leg to Hand Ball Transfer

3. Mtn. Climbers

4. Side Bridge Raise (rt)

5. High Knees

6. Side Bridge Raise (left)

7. Lunge Jumps

8. Pikes

Because of internet problems on my end and on the bodyrock.tv site lately, I recently came up with two workouts using old notes I had from previous bodyrock.tv workouts.  The first was performed Tabata style with 5 circuits of 2 exercises each.  The pairs of exercises in each set were:

1. explosive star/ plank to pike jump

2. dive bombers/ seated bicycle

3. monkey push ups /flying scissor jumps

4. strong core exercise/ 1-legged can can tricep dips

5. snowboarder jumps/ hanging knee raises

The second workout consisted of 50 reps each of 10 different exercises.  I then added 5 reps of pulls ups to the end (unfortunately, 4 were assisted).  So I guess you could call this workout the 505 rep workout.  The exercises I used in this workout were:

1. jump forward/ 2 back
2. walk over push ups
3. turkish get ups
4. side plank lifts (25 per side)
5. snowboarder jumps
6. 1- arm side push ups (25 per side)
7. mtn. climbers
8. prisoner squats with leg kick
9. reverse crunches
10. side step ups (25 per side)

I was able to complete the entire workout in 18:56.
