Sign of a good workout..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You know its a good workout when you are dripping sweat onto your new gym floor and loving it! I started my new routine this morning of waking up at 5:30am to do my workouts…tough getting up but sooo nice to have it done and have the whole day in front of me! I’m still waiting for a few more things to get done in the new gym before I post some pics, I am loving it though!! So nice to have a separate place to do my thing…

Here is what I did this morning, its another workout from Bodyrock.tv, one of my have places to get workouts from…

Set your timer for 10 seconds rest 50 seconds work, you’ll do this for three rounds…click here for the link to see how to do the exercises

1.  2 Squat Jumps, 1 Tuck Jump, 2 Push Ups

2.  3 Monkey Press Ups 3 Single Leg Squats (left and right alternate)

3.  10 Open Me Up Mountain Climbers 10 Ab Toe Touches using the Ugi ball ( i used a 12 medicine ball)

4.  Push Up, 2 Knee In, Commando Roll

 

Then I did this…just one round 10 seconds rest, 50 seconds work

1. Leg Lift with Row using the sandbag (you can use a dumbbell if you don’t have a sand bag)

2. Leg Lift with Row using the sandbag

3. Step Ups using the sandbag

 

Then I moved on to the TRX and did some abs. The TRX is killer for ab workouts, you use so many more muscles at once, love it! I did this circuit twice…TRX ABS

 

Then I did 150 air squats… I ❤ squats 🙂

Thats it!! Let me know if you do this workout too and how you did! Go drip some sweat on your floors!!!

Tabata Tuesday!

Happy Tabata Tuesday! This is my workout I did this morning from another site that I get some good workouts from. This is a kettlebell HIIT cardio tabata workout. If you don’t have a kettlebell you can use a dumbbell, i used a 15lb kettlebell but I should have used a heavier one maybe 20 or 25 but thats all I have at home so I guess its time to go shopping for more kettlebells! Thats a good sign I guess though that the 15 is too easy for me now 🙂

I did this routine 2 times through, by the end of the second round I was dripping! I finished up with some abs using the TRX (which I LOVE btw, just recently got it so still learning how to use it). It does not include a warm up or cool down so make sure you include those to avoid injuries. This is a great workout for strength and endurance and burns a lot of calories. Its 20 seconds work with 10 seconds rest, doesn’t sound bad but when you are doing that for 18 minutes straight or in my case doing it twice, 36 minutes straight its friggin tough! That 10 second rest hardly exists! The whole idea is to push yourself as hard as you can (keeping good form) for that 20 seconds every time! If you don’t push yourself you won’t get what you want out of your workouts! Its totally worth it though, because of this style of workout you will continue to burn more calories over the next 48 hours even while your sleeping!

If you do this workout let me know how you did! Have fun! 😉

My workout this morning “My Booty Rocks”!

BodyRock.TV is one of my favorite websites to get workouts from. I mainly do body weight workouts and they have some really good ones! Most of their workouts are under 30 minutes and are intense.

This is the one I did this morning and it sucked! In a good way! Instead of the jump rope i did high knees (thats 900 high knees i just realized! holy crap!) If you do the high knees make sure to keep those knees up high, you tend to let them drop after awhile. There were a few things that i had to break up a little into 30 and 30 with a short rest in between. If you try this workout just push through even if you have to take rests and break up the reps, do all of them!! Don’t cheat yourself, do the work if you want the results! 🙂
