This is my first workout post and I hope I am good at this.. mainly for the readers sake :) I used to be obsessed with cardio cardio cardio!! But now I have realized and there has been research done saying if you add cardio with strength training, you actually get better results! So all of my workouts are cardio with strength training. And guess what?! I actually have muscles now... weird. My family didn't believe me until I actually did a real push-up for them. Strong is the new skinny people!!
Here is goes!!
3 Sets of 30 seconds continuous with no water breaks until the round is over.
*Start slower on the first one so you don't burn yourself out but push yourself.
Round #1
Burpees (Yes guys all the way down to the floor)
High knees
Reverse Plank Dips (Triceps dips but your legs are straight-- You can make it harder by lifting one leg up at a time)
Heismann
Round #2
Plank Mountain Climbers
V Push-ups (butt in the air so your body is shaped like an upside down V and when you go down your elbows go outward instead of parallel to your body)
Butt Kicks
Football Sprints
Round #3 was special tonight :) Find the song "Flower" by Moby on Youtube. It says "up" and "down" a lot.
1. Squats: every time the song says "up" you stay up. Every time the song says "down" you stay down... and hold until it says up again.
2. Sit-ups: every time the song says "up, you stay up. Every time the song says "down" you go down until your shoulders are a couple inches off the ground... and hold until it says up again.
This workout only took us about 25 minutes with water breaks and everything!
You can do anything you set your mind to do. And its so much easier if you have a friend to do it with!
*If I am not good at explaining workouts let me know and I'll try to find pics next time*
I will be doing this tomorrow, even on vacay!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing this today for sure! Now I don't feel too bad I missed the workout last night! :) except for the company of course.
ReplyDeleteI don't know all of those moves, at least not the names. Do you do all your workouts from home? Any equipment?
ReplyDeleteDani I do them all from home and none of these have equipment. Some I do use equipment but nothing too crazy. Like a medicine ball, an exercise ball, and an exercise band. But all these you can google or search on YouTube. I'll post pics next time of all the workouts!!
DeleteI wish I could come to your workouts so I can see some of these.
ReplyDeleteI'll text you next time April! We'd love to have you!
DeleteI did your workout this morning! I hate "flower" with a new passion!! :) and I totally agree with your statement: strong IS the new skinny!
