Brrrrrn Workout

Hey guys!

Turning on the heat always makes me sneezy and wheezy, so in the winter months I use exercise as a way to stave off being cold in my apartment (since turning on the heat is definitely not an option). We've done all of these before, and they're pretty simple to explain so I didn't do a video.

100 Kettlebell Swings (use a duffel bag or backpack or dumbbell to swing if you don't have a kbell)
50 Weighted Stepups L (step up onto a chair holding a 20-40 lb weight)
50 Weighted Stepups R
100 V Ups (straight legs, arms by ears, crunch up and touch toes)

For time.

If you want to do some cardio action, I'm gonna alternate 100 jumping jacks and 100 high knees and do As Many Rounds As Possible in 10 minutes.

ROCK!

Monday Miscellany

Hey guys! Today's workout is reasonably short but pretty brutal. You want to fill out those leggings with seeeexy firm thighs and tush? Today's workout will get you well on your way :).

1) 200 squats for time

2) Split Squat Half Burpee AMRAP 12 minutes
**My legs were shot to hell after the squats - so I didn't do jumping split squats. Instead I stepped back with the left into a split squat and then back with the right into a split squat and then did the half burpee :)**

3) 100 power floor sit ups or stability ball crunches for time



My scores:

1) 6:02

A NEW PERSONAL RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!
Beat my old time by 34 seconds woohooo!
2) 76
3) 3:45

The result:


Drenched.

ROCK!

10 step burpee post-mortem :)

Hey guys! Apologies for my absence. Top video is my explanation and some meaningless post workout panting drivel about my scores etc., and the bottom video is the workout tutorial.

I'm posting this before the brightness edits are complete on youtube for the first video, so if it's too dark to bear, come back in a little while :).

Note: there is crap everywhere because I am half unpacked from living out of a backpack for 8 of the last 14 days. OOF!






ROCK!

20 minute AMRAP Challenge!



In the video I mentioned something about posting my score at 3:00 today. I was up later than I thought I'd be last night, so that probably won't happen until this evening.

Anyway, give it a try, tell me what you think!

ROCK!

My Score: 46 + 2 Low Jacks

Oh, and just to crush a quick objection. When I did this blog the first time around, I would encourage people to try the workouts, and the objection was "I can't. Working out isn't easy for me like it is for you."

Ahem. This is the unedited version of what I looked like at the end of this workout. You can't tell but I have raging boob and stomach sweat and the top of my head is SOAKED.




Don't tell me it's easy for me, and I won't tell you it's too hard for you.

Because it's bullshit. <3
