My Latest Workouts

Here are the last 3 workouts I have done and modifications.  The first was the Rock It Workout (http://www.bodyrock.tv/2009/11/03/rock-it-workout-november-3-2009/).  Last time I did this I modified slightly to make up for the slow down that came from the situps.  This time I tried yet another variation and really liked it.  I think the workout done as follows was a winner:

1. 1- Leg Touch Down Jumps 10/leg

2. One Arm Push Ups 5/arm

3. Mountain Clilmber Kick-Ups 20

4. Maltese Sit-Ups 10

I did 8 rounds of the above circuit and the entire workout took me 23:07 and my HR at the end was 104 BPM.

The second workout I did was the Tone Trim and Tight wo (http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/06/14/tone-trim-and-tight-workout/).  I did this workout just as written with the addition of 2 pull ups to each round.  Not an overly intense workout but a bit longer than some of the bodyrock workouts... I took me 22:49.

Today I did a bit of YouTube searching and found a couple of interesting bodyweight workouts that I tried (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt-tQC5x4RA and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEhVV...eature=channel). I did them a bit differently by setting them up as 2 rounds of each exercise in intervals of 15/45. That way I was able to have a nice, round, 20 minute workout. There were some interesting variations on typical exercises and so it was a bit fun.... my daughter especially liked doing the rollback to jump up with me. Here is a list of the exercises:

1. walking push ups
2. roll back to jump up
3. crab with knee lift and arm lift
4. side jump squats
5. kicker push ups
6. mountain climbers with walking arms
7. glute bridge leg lifts
8. alternating plank lifts
9. single leg lateral hops with single leg dead-lift (right)
10. single leg lateral hops with single leg dead-lift (left)

When the time came to do the kicker push ups I couldn't quite remember how they were done.  So I basically ended up doing 1- leg pike push ups with a kicker.  There were a few individual exercises that were tough by the time my 45 seconds rolled around, but overall it was a moderate workout.
