Gimme 10 minutes!

uggg...again, improvising the workout routine so I did a 10 minute workout (trainer) and then alternated core (crunches) with pushups ... total of 40 each...

Here's the minute by minute workout:

Chuck ups … 5 each (push ups, various styles, like military, hands out, diamond, etc...)

Switch wrist lawn mowers, 30 seconds each side (use a weighted object if you don’t have bands!)

Corkscrew military press (same, use weighted object)

Crazy eights

Tricep kickback/throw combo

Tubing crunch

Cyclone

Rocking iso lunges

Deep seats, close medium and wide

Carlito pushups (aka burpees)man I HATE these things!

Ok, here's a tip ... go to youtube.com and google 10 minute trainer. There's some dude that recorded a few of his workouts exactly to the video and lists the workouts ... highly recommend you look if you want to do this stupid workout.

Stupid? Not really but dang, I hate these things :) It's that dumb love hate relationship I have with exercising!

Gym - Circuit Class - Easy to do at home!

Been a while since I've been to the gym, first being sick and then graduation and the continual running nose ... I'm glad I went, but man, I was dying, he even gave me a 30 second break which is  UNHEARD of with this dude! I think this could easily be set up at home with a few modifications if you don't have swiss ball, medicine ball or kettleball! Give it a shot!

1 minute intervals:

Wall slam burpees (with a swiss ball)

V Crunch on swiss ball

jump rope

medicine ball twist squat

hop scotch (butt low)

lobster crawl (don't arch back, keep plank form)

dead man lifts (35 lb kettleball, back flat)

jump squats (keep knees behind toes!)

wall sit (hands can go anywhere but on your thighs)

push ups (on dumbbell with alternating lifts, 10 lb)

side lunges, low to ground (keep one foot on ground at all times, do not get a 'hop' in the lunge)

side hops (on a step that was about 1 foot high!)

Did a total of 3 circuits which was more than 45 minutes! My favorite? The v crunch (you just rotate the crunch to the left or to the right), the medicine ball twist (but I feel it in the back fat! Yes!) and the wall sit (relaxation). Worse? Burpees (always), jump squats (I just get too tired to have the energy anymore) and the side hops (good lord) which means, anything cardio inducing! :)

So, have you been working out??

Sunday night, give me 15 minutes

I've been sick and have NOT been to the gym in over a week. Of course, the last time I went I way overdid it and couldn't go the rest of THAT week ... and then when I was finally able to move, I came down with the wicked cold.

So last night, Sunday, I dug out one of those stupid, idiotic 10 minute work out dvds. Stuck it in the laptop and carried the laptop to the bedroom.

Picked up half way through the abs routine.

Uh huh ... The Dawn for 1 minute
Mountain Climb for 1 minute
superman crunch for 1 minute
Tic Toc Lift for 1 minute
(ummm, by now I'm screaming!)
Peek a boo for 1 minute
Scissor Crunch for 1 minute
Scissor Lift for 1 minute

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5Xpu4LnDlw  This is a youtube video that shows the whole ab workout by some normal dude. Nice to see a NON ATHLETE do it for once :) His daughter pops in at some point and you can see he's just too exhausted to say anything to her :)

Then I did the full 10 minute of lower body ... and again, scream baby but in the end, no big deal. I think my legs are pretty strong and just need to loose a little more of that jiggly fluffy stuff :)

I am not listing the 10 minutes of leg exercises right now but can tell you that it has lots of squats in various forms and your thighs will be burning by the end. It also follows the 1 minute per exercise with 30 seconds of each leg (like the kicks and such) ...
