Lots of Workouts

Wow, I'm way behind on logging my workouts.  Life has been busy.... I've gotten my workouts in just not my blogging about them.  So here is a quick rundown of what I've done for the past week and a half.

Leave Me Breathless WO (myomytv.com) 5/55 interval 4xs 142 BPM
1. Evil Jumps
2. Reptile Push Ups
3. Alternate Side Lunge with Power Jacks in the Middle
4. Dyanmic Close Push Ups

The push ups ended up being really hard, especially the reptiles pushups. I also liked the alternate side lunge with power jacks... it was a new exercise for me and kind of fun.

600 Rep Workout
1. Half Burpee w/ Calf Raise
2. 1-Leg Push Up (30 per leg)
3. Jump Lunges
4. 1-Leg Dead Lift
5. Crunches w/ Leg Extension
6. Prisoner Squat w/ Leg Kick (switch legs)
7. 1-Leg Tricep Dips
8. 1-Leg Knee Ups (30/leg)
9. Chest Lift
10. Over Chair Kick (30/leg)

I did this one awhile back and forgot how tough this one is. My arms felt fried....I think the tricep dips really did me in. I also forgot how week and rubbery my legs could feel after those 1-leg knee jump ups.  Added pullups to the end: 4, 4, 3.

Sweet 16 Body Burn (myomytv.com) +1

1. Burpees
2. Reverse Lunge w/ kick rt.
3. Reverse Lunge w/ kick left
4. Dive Bombers
5. Partial 1-Leg Squat rt.
6. Partial 1-Leg Squat left
7. Tricep Push Ups
8. Roll Back w/ Jump Up
9. Mountain climbers

10/50 Interval 2xs.  It started as the Sweet 16 Body Burn wo, although it was the Sweet 18 for me since I added roll back with jump ups to the rotation. I also added a jump (hop) to the 1-leg squats.... that made those really tough.

Let's Burn Some More Fat (bodyrock) + Modifications

1. High Knees
2. Mountain Climbers
3. Side Plank Jump
4. Side Jump Lunge rt.
5. Side Jump Lunge left
6. Super Girl Push Ups

10/20 Intervals 6xs 158 BPM.  I added side jump lunges (left then right). This made the workout 18 minutes long instead of 12 (I'm a believer in these short but intense workouts but 12 minutes always seems just a bit too good to be true). This was one of the most cardio intense workouts I've done in awhile. The mountain climbers and high knees were killer (to the point I wanted to stop but didn't). Definitely a tough workout for me!

300 Rep WO

1. Snoboarders 20 reps
2. Pull Ups 5 reps
3. Side V-crunch 10 reps/side
4. Diver Bombers 10 reps
5. Straight Leg Hanging Knee Raises 10 reps
6. 1-Leg Side Lunge and Back Lunge Jumps 10/leg
7. 1-Leg Burpee w/ Santana Push Ups 5/leg
8. 1-Leg Squat to Roll Back 5/leg

Repeat 3xs.  19:54.

Extreme Fat Fighter WO (myomytv.com)

1. Burpees (no push ups) 20
2. Stability Ball Push Ups (TRX) 10
3. Sumo Prisoner Squats w/ jump 20
4. TRX Roll Out 20
5. Evil Jumps 20
6. Explosive Push Ups 5
7. Hamstring Curls TRX 20
8. Side V-Cruncehs 10/side

Repeat 3xs, 19:33.  Quite a few plyometric moves in this workout so it kept the heart rate up and the legs burning. It also went by really fast for me.

Body On Fire

1. Over Under rt. to left 40sec
2. Over Under left to rt. 40 sec.
3. Happy Dancing Crab w/ Jump 40 sec.
4. Triple Knee Tuck 40 sec.
5. Pistol Squat w/ Kozacek 40sec.
6. Swimming Push Ups 40 sec.

Repeat 5xs.  I did this one early in the 40 day challenge and liked it. Again, the pistol squat with kozacek are tough and I know I really don't do them right. However, I think my form was better on them this time around then they were when I first did the workout a few months ago.

TRX Cardio/Core WO

1. Evil Jumps
2. Atomic Push Ups
3. Side Step Ups left
4. TRX Suspended Supine Pull Through
5. Side Steps Ups rt.
6. Kneeling Roll Out
7. Sumo Squat Jump
8. Chest Press/ Fly Combo
9. 10 High Knees Drop Down
10. TRX Torso Rotation

10/30 interval times 3 per exercise.  126 BPM.  I liked this workout and thought it did a pretty good job of meeting my goal of cardio and core. My breathing and HR would come down a bit during the core moves but not too bad. I thought about doing 1 round of each exercise and then doing the entire circuit 3 times to keep the cardio effect going a bit more. I decided against it because it would have meant more changing of the TRX set-up and down time between exercises. So overall, I think I'm happy with the way I set it up.

TRX 25 Rep WO

1. Roll Back Jump Ups
2. TRX Tricep Presses
3. Side Lunge Jumps left
4. T, I, Y's
5. Side Lunge Jumps rt.
6. TRX Low Rows
7. Burpees w/push up and jump up
8. Ball Hand to Foot Transfer
9. Plank to Pike Jumps
10. Side Plank Lifts rt.
11. Side Plank Lifts left

25 reps of each.  Repeat circuit 2xs.  23:15.  Definitely a more upper body heavy workout but the cardio exercises got me sweating buckets.
