More MyoMyTv.com and some FitMisstv.com

Yesterday I did another one of Marianne's workouts from Myomytv.com.  It was the Sculpt and Burn Super Mix workout and was a 15/45 interval workout with a mix of cardio and toning exercises.  I changed it slightly by doing 2 sets of burpees each time they appeared in the workout and adding an extra set at the end.  So the workout looked like this for me:

1. Burpees

2. Burpees

3. Elevated Glute Raises -rt

4. Elevated Glute Raises -left

5. Tricep Dips

6. Burpees

7. Burpees

8. Bodyweight Curtsy -rt

9. Bodyweight Curtsy -left

10. Staggared Push Ups

11. Burpees

12. Burpees

13. Reverse Lunge w/ High Kick -rt

14. Reverse Lunge w/ High Kick -left

15. Elevated Push Ups

16. Burpees

17. Burpees

This was a really good workout.  I was surprised at how high my HR was at the end of the workout.... 152 BPM.  I don't think it was consistently that high throughout the workout but I think the burpees at the end probably elevated it and did so each time I did a set during the workout.  I was also surprised by the intensity of the elevated glute raises and the tricep dips.  Now, I've done tricep dips lots of times before.  However, I normally do them on the floor because I figured doing suspended between two benches couldn't be that much harder.  I was wrong!  Doing the tricep dips that way were much tougher and I will definitely do them this way from now on.  After the workout was done, I did 3 sets of 3 pull ups.  This was an all time high for me!

Today I did the Heart Pumping Couplet Circuit from fitmiss.tv.  The workout consisted of 3 different "couplets" of exercises, each performed for 6 minutes.  TIt was a nice, mid to high-mid level workout.  It wasn't a killer but definitely wasn't easy.  It managed to get my HR up to 144 BPM at the end.  I did modify it slightly by adding hops to the 1-leg deadlifts and jumps to the burpees.  The couplets in the workout were the following:

1a. 1-leg deadlift 10/leg

1b. Reptile Push Ups 10

2a. Prisoner Squats 10

2b. Walk Out Push Ups 5

3a. Burpees 5

3b. Side Planks 5/side
