I didn't watch the Royal Wedding

Primarily because . . . English royals are by and large a boring horsey looking big toothed lot.

And I had 3 hours of physics, working out, and wellness to coordinate at work.

Workout of the day:
a)20 double unders (I whipped the shit out of myself like 5 times and called it quits for the day - was getting frustrated and not into the groove)
b)5 rounds for time:
10 tuck jumps
100 speed ropes
c) 100 table top hip lifts
d) 1 minute each:
-Wide Grip Strict Pull ups / Narrow Grip Strict Pull ups (30:30 split)
-Standard Push ups / Triceps Push ups (30:30 split)
-Warrior Pose Bicep Curl (a deep lunge with straight back leg - the arm that is on the same side as the front leg is inside the leg and doing 4 count up 4 count down curls) (30 sec each leg in front)
-One Leg Chair Triceps Dips (same as a standard triceps dip - but 30 seconds with your left leg up and 30 seconds with your right leg up)
-Pike Pulls with stability ball (plank with hands on ground feet on ball - pull the ball toward you with your abs so you end up with your ass in the air in an inverted pike) (30 seconds)
-Pike Pushups with stability ball (while your ass is in the air - do pushups for 30 seconds)
-Lawn Mower (back to that deep front lunge - but use the hand corresponding to the back foot this time and do an explosive one armed row like you're trying to start up a lawn mower) (30 seconds each side)
x2 rounds
e) 40 bridge flips (video below- note the huffing and puffing - I did the video right after I had finished the entire workout - was exhausted)
f) 8 minute abs

  1. I just noticed your blog link on your facebook and decided to pop over. I love that you are posting videos of the exercises. I have finally gotten to the point where I have shed MOST of that terrible undergrad body fat, though I could afford to a bit more, but definitely trying to work on the toning aspect of things now, so I am really interesting in seeing more of what you are doing.
