ATF Calisthenics Workout

Original workout from: Angry Trainer Fitness

This workout Day #2 of Angry Trainer Fitness 12 Days of Christmas Fitness Workout. I wasn't feeling too energetic today so this full cardio workout was a great one to do. I modified it into a sort of interval workout (except for the jumping jacks) based on his original post.

3 Rounds of this entire circuit:
Do 100 Jumping Jacks then set the timer to 20 sec rest/ 1 minute on for 5 rounds for the ones below:
High Knees 117-184-174
Jump Rope 114-120-132
Burpees 10-10-10
Mountain Climbers 80-86-80
V-Ups 18-19-20

Take a little break then reset the timer and repeat everything until you did 3 rounds!

Bodyrock.tv: Rock Me , Feel So Good, Abs Bonus DOUBLE TRIPLE TROUBLE Workouts

Original workouts from Bodyrock.tv

So here what happened. I woke up around 2:30 am for no reason and couldn't fall back asleep. After an hour later, I decided to get up and started to workout! Not only that, I did 3 workouts and doubled the rounds from its original to create about 20 minutes mashed up workouts!

Rock Me Workout: 10 sec off/50 sec on for 8 rounds
SB Low Jack 28-18
Elevated Push up & 2 Knee Tucks 8-8
SB front & back squat 12-12
SB overhead forward lunge and press 7-13

For SB low jack: mixed and matched using 20lbs backpack and only my bodyweight. Same thing with the Overhead Forward Lunge and Press combo.

Feel so Good Workout: 10 sec off/50 sec on for 8 rounds
Burpee & Knee Raise 7-7
One V Up & Dip Station Lift 7-7
1 Triceps dip & 1 Core Split 9-7
Elevated Reverse Push up 10-12

Dip station lift was tough. I had to modify it towards the end of the round by keeping my feet on the ground and just lift my bums. Did a modified triceps dips as I am not strong enough to do it with both my legs off the ground. I could do some elevated reverse push up but then had to do a regular one after a couple reps.

Feel so Good Abs Bonus Workout: 10 sec off/50 sec for 6 rounds
Circle Abs 29-25
Side Oblique V Ups (Left) 29-23
Side Oblique V Ups (Right) 25-23

If you're curious, I did record all of these with the exception of the first one because I forgot! My forms might not be the best but keep in mind that I was working out early morning at 4 am and I just rolled out from the bed.

Bodyrock.tv: Paradise Workout - TRIPLE!

Original workout: Bodyrock.tv

After a little day off from working out yesterday, I tripled this 4 minute workout to give myself a total 12 minute of HIIT.

10 sec off/50 sec on for 12 rounds (originally 4 rounds)
Reptile Push Up With Leg Lift on the Ball or chair 15-10-12
SB Clean, Press Up & 3 Jump Squats 6-6-6
Alt. Forward/Backward Lunge & SB Twist (fwd+back counted as 1 rep) 4-9-9
High Knees Skipping 83-87-100

For reptile push up, I just did regular push ups from the ball and by 3rd round I ditched the ball and did push up from the floor. For lunge combo, I used 20lbs backpack but ditched it for the last 2 rounds as I had hard time balancing and keeping a good form.

Great sweaty morning workout!

ATF: Strength Workout

Original workout: Angry Trainer Fitness

This workout Day #1 of Angry Trainer Fitness 12 Days of Christmas Fitness Workout. It's a nice change to mix and match my training to keep my muscles guessing. I modified some of the workout names for my own purposes.

3 Sets of:
15 Weighted Press
15 Weighted Santana Plank (each side)
15 Weighted Squats
15 Bent over Rows
15 Weighted Deadlifts

Rest for 30 seconds in between circuit.

For the weighted Santana Plank, I started off with 8lbs dumbbell but then my left side wasn't strong enough to do it so I had to scale it down to a dumbbell stick which is about 2.5 lbs. For the rest, I used 20lbs backpack.

Time: 21:54

And if you're interested, I recorded myself doing this workout. Who knows video editing could be quite fun :)

Bodyrock.tv: Christmas Day Abs Bonus - TRIPLE!

Original workout: Bodyrock.tv

I've been sitting on my ass for almost the entire day..yeah sitting in front of my laptop browsing around, Facebooking, etc you named it. So when Bodyrock.tv posted their last 4 Christmas workouts, I was excited to see abs workout that I could do without much preparation. To make it worth more, I triple it to make it 9 minute workout instead of 3.

10 sec off/50 sec on for 9 rounds (originally 3 rounds)
Circle Abs 23-20-21
V Ups (Left) 30-26-22
V Ups (Right) 29-23-22

Bodyrock.tv: Get in Hot Stuff Workout - Triple!

Original workout: Bodyrock.tv

I was super pumped up today that I made 4 minute workout into 12 minute interval and the 3 minute abs became 9 minute.

Part #1: 10 sec off/50 sec on for 12 rounds (Get in Hot Stuff)
SB clean, press up & 2 sumo knees up (20lbs backpack) 10-10-9
Ugi Chop (with 8lbs dumbbell) 18-18-21
Elevated dip station push up 13-13-11
Shoulder SB lift, back lunge & kick up (20lbs backpack) 8-8-8



Part #2: 10 sec off/50 sec on for 9 rounds (Kissable Abs)
Oblique sit up with raised arms 25-18-17
Weighted oblique twist bicycle** (with 8lbs dumbbell-pretty much similar to P90X mason twists) 37-46-43
Leg raise & core split combo 9-9-9



The oblique sit up with raised arms was super tough. After the first round, I had to modify it by keeping one of my foot down on the floor instead hovering the round the entire time. For leg raise and core split combo, after the first round, I had to do knee raise with core split and in the end I had to put my feet down after each raise.

**After rewatching the video again, I realized I didn't do the oblique twist bicycle correctly. I only did the way how P90X Ab Ripper X mason twist.**

Upper Body Strength Training

Not much time to workout this morning so:

AM: 100 Knee Raises

PM: 100 Reverse Push Ups

Didn't measure the timer either!

Gave my legs some breaks before hitting hard again tomorrow!

Bodyrock.tv: Body on Fire Workout

Ok finally I've decided to do actual Bodyrock.tv workout that involves pistols! Let's see how can I sustain in this workout!

A slightly different style workout, combining interval and time challenge workout. Unlike typical interval workout, this time it has longer rest and active time and there're prescribed amount of reps that we need to complete in each 4 minute time block.

Scores are total reps of each exercise.

I just realized it supposedly 20 jump lunges each round instead of 10..oh well!

Bodyrock.tv: Not Afraid Workout 2

It's time to revisit Not Afraid Workout. Let's see if I could beat my old PR!

Bodyrock.tv: Hot Quickie Workout

An old workout from Zuzana which unfortunately doesn't have the breakdown on the site, so I just put the reps based on what I saw from the video (the first half was uncut so I assume it represents the actual reps for each move).

Workout: Do as many rounds in 15 minutes
5 jump lunges
5 reverse push ups
5 jump squats
5 push ups

Result: 14 rounds + 3 Jump Lunges

I did this workout without any warm up due to time constraint. In the end it was still a good workout, wish I could push myself a bit more (as I always tell myself AFTER the workout ended).

Bodyrock.tv: Damn Hot Body Workout

Original workout from Bodyrock.tv. This one surely looks brutal!

Workout: 10 sec off/30 sec on for 36 rounds (or could do 9 rounds then repeat after a short break)
Squat & Press Up (Right arm) with 15lbs dumbbell 6-6-6-6
Squat & Press Up (Left arm) with 15lbs dumbbell 6-5-5-5
Half burpee 9-9-9-9

I did the entire 36 rounds nonstop and afterward I did 10 burpees for finishing up.

Bodyrock.tv: Tight Jeans Booty Workout 5

Although I did Tight Jeans Booty workout couple times before (see here, here and here), my goal is to beat to the one I did back in January since it was the only time I did it as prescribed.

Workout breakdown:
Set 15 minutes countdown on the timer and do:
50 reps jump rope jacks
30 reps three directions crunches (each crunch count as 1 rep)

My scores: 350 jump rope jacks & 196 crunches (old 300 jump rope jacks and 162 crunches)

Bodyrock.tv: 1000 reps Workout

It'll definitely rain of sweat after doing this 1000 reps workout! I renamed some of the exercise to help me remember it better.

Workout: 10 rounds of this entire circuit
10 half burpees
10 SB squat jump (20lbs backpack)
10 push ups
10 toe touches
10 triceps dips (I did 1 leg assisted using dip station)
10 jump tucks
10 elbow plank jacks
10 jump lunges
10 leg lifts
10 plank jumps

At end of round 5, I was at 25:54. Hm, not bad.
Round 1-5 I still used 20 lbs backpack for squat jump. Round 6-7, I used the bag halfway and bodyweight halfway. Round 8-10, I just did bodyweight for the jump squats.

One important thing: I noticed I wasn't out of breath that much by breathing thru my nose and kept my mouth close the entire time! Apparently, it helped me to power thru the entire workout without being too exhausted!

I finished the entire 10 rounds in 54:57

Workout Schedule: Dec 4-10

MDA WOW: Don't Drop It Workout (Modified)

Originally I'd do this workout as prescribed but then I decided to modify it a bit. My 25 lbs backpack just doesn't have handles that are comfortable enough to do the cleans.

So here what I did instead:

Complete 3 cycles, without putting the weight down:
6 Presses
6 Squats
6 Bent Over Rows

Then with similar sequence and method (6-6-6 without putting my weight down in between sets), I continued with bodyweight strength training:
Leg Raises
Reverse Push Ups
SB Squats (25 lbs backpack)
Diagonal Knee Raises
Pistols (each leg)

300 high knees skipping
20 burpees
40 backward lunge & kick up

My Own Time Challenge Workout

Happy Thanksgiving to the ones who are celebrating in the US. I made up my own workout today and it was great!

Workout:

1 minute double unders (I did my best to do single-under-single rhythm)
20 leg raises on a dip station
20 weighted squats (I used 20lbs backpack)
20 reverse body rows (aka reverse push ups) - try to do them with both legs straight or 1 bent leg (I did 1 bent leg in the beginning and had to modify to both bent legs)

I completed 3 rounds in about 15 minutes.

Too easy? Then Do 5 rounds! Use more weight for the squats, straighten both legs when doing the reverse body rows or even better do strict pull ups instead!

Extras: 15 pistols (3 sets of 5 each leg)

Another new workout which was quite challenging that even I had to modify it down a bit. Jump lunges are still hard enough for me even doing it without any additional weight. I think I'm going to stick with doing bodyweight jump lunges until I could execute them 20 consecutive reps perfectly before adding extra weight.

Workout: 10 sec off/ 50 sec on for 12 rounds
Scissors with Sandbag & Knee Twist (no weight for me) 7-7-7
Ugi Plank & Hip Thrust (used 15lbs dumbbell) 10-10-10
Triple Plank Jumps (everytime I jump back or side count as 1 rep) 20-21-20
Ugi Toss (I only did 15 lbs dumbbell press up) 20-22-22

Extras: 10 sec off / 50 sec on for 3 rounds
Push Up Crawl 13
Ninja Jump Tuck 10
Push Up Crawl 11

MDA WOW: Unilateral Engagement

Original workout from Mark's Daily Apple

Complete 5 cycles:
20 Walking Weighted Lunges
14 Single Arm Overhead Press (7 each arm)
10 Single Leg Deadlift (5 each leg)
16 Single Arm Bent Over Row (8 each arm)

I used 20lbs backpack for the lunges, deadlift and 15 lbs dumbbell for the rest.

Time: 19:29

Extras: 15 pistols (each leg)

Bodyrock.tv: Hot Beastie Workout

Another new workout which got me excited but at the same time it was a bummer because I set the interval timer wrong AND I MISSED one of the move (the Dips)!

To make it up, I did an extra round for everything.

Workout: 10 sec off /50 sec on for 15 rounds
Front Squat (with 20lbs backpack) 20-17-1917
Reverse Push Up (bent legs) 15-13-11-11
SB push up, squat & press up 6-5-5-5
SB sit up 10-10-10-11

Note: For SB push up combo, my 20 lbs backpack was a bit rounder and bulky so I had to step back a bit everytime I did the push up or I couldn't push myself all the way down, plus I think I forgot to do the squat before the press up.

Next time I am making sure to do the DIPS before the SB sit up!

MDA WOW: Max Effort

Original workout from Mark's Daily Apple.

Everything needs to be executed in proper forms.

Max. Efforts of (2 mins rest in between each 5 minute block)
5 minutes reverse push ups (bent legs) 9 sets of 5
5 minutes push ups 8 sets of 5
5 minutes squats (with 20lbs backpack) 9 sets of 10

Bodyrock.tv: Good Feeling Workout

For some reason I am always more excited to do a new workout instead of going thru the older ones. Maybe because I don't have the pressure to beat my older scores? Hmm..

Workout: 10 sec off/50 sec on for 12 rounds
Ugi Punch (I used 8lbs dumbbell) 40-32 (I only hold the DB halfway 2nd round)
Frog Burpee (more like plank jump fwd/back) 23-21
SB Side Forward Lunge (Left) - (SB on LEFT side, lunge with Right leg) 9-8
SB Side Forward Lunge (Right) - (SB on RIGHT side, lunge with Left leg) 9-9
Sumo Push Ups 14-13
Diagonal Knee Raise 18-17

Workout Schedule Nov 13-19

I know, I know I haven't been pretty good sticking with my own workout schedule but I did my best!! This week I'm catching up with the new workouts instead going for the older ones. My new workout approach for this week would be 3 days Bodyrock workouts and 2 days of bodyweight strength training.

Do min. 3 rounds (5 rounds max) this entire circuit

I completed 3 rounds in 19:59. (old: 3 rounds in 18:44)
Yeah I know I didn't beat my old time, so apparently I'll try to keep doing 3 rounds until I could do this without much struggles. Initially I was going to do 5 rounds but towards 3rd round, I was kinda pooped out already.



This workout focuses on lower body and abs.

Bodyrock.tv: Shake It 250 reps Workout

There has been a new development at Bodyrock.tv and one of them is that Zuzana won't be leading the workout video anymore. It's kinda sad to see her less on the screen. On the bright side, they brought in a new host, Jess, a seasoned Bodyrocker who was chosen to be the new lead in the video. Overall she wasn't bad. Let's see if I could beat her time, especially she was using the same bag weight as mine (20lbs)

Workout:
50 Kick Over Dip Station combo (kick over, back lunge and knee raise)- alter each side (in the video Jess forgot the knee raise)

Modified CrossFit Workout: Squats, Reverse Push Ups, Push Ups

My abs and upper body were a bit sore from yesterday's workout and after today's workout, I think I totally killed them all. I decided to mix up my workout a bit by looking into CrossFit style workouts. Of course I don't have any access to 100lbs barbell and even though I do, I doubt I could even lift that sucker up.

Two new moves that totally burned me today were the Over Head Squats (OHS) and Weighted Front Squats.

Initially I tried to hold my 20lbs backpack for OHS but it was a bad idea. I wasn't trained to do it yet although I could do perfectly fine with just my own bodyweight. So I swapped it out chickened out and grabbed one 15 lbs dumbbell instead and did something like the video below. Yeah...I'm such a weakling.


Front squats aren't too bad although I felt the burn more on my arms holding 15 lbs dumbbell as I tried not to rest the dumbbells on my shoulders.


Before I started off with the actual warm up, I practiced more on my double unders and was pretty happy now I could do single-double-single-double rhythm unbroken for at least 10 DUs.

Modified CrossFit workout (from Fit Daffy's Workout Log)
Warm up:
10 reps of each:
Reverse Push Ups
Dive bomber push ups
Deep side lunges
Squats with 20 lbs backpack Overhead Squats (holding 15 lbs dumbbell)

15 front squats (holding a pair of 15 lbs dumbbells)

5 front squats
5 reverse push ups
5 push ups

Finished: 10:40

Total workout time: 16:06

Extras:
12 Pistols (each leg)
5 Burpees

Phew, I was sweating a lot in the end and today's workout was totally strength training which I like! I need to look into something like this more.

Workout Schedule Oct 16-23

This is my tentative workout schedule for this week. I purposely didn't put any dates for any particular workout since there are times that I just don't get enough sleep the night before or I didn't get up early enough to do any workout.

10 Burpees afterward

Bodyrock.tv: My Buns Hurt Workout-2

My buns definitely hurt after this workout. First time did it in April so it was time to revisit it again!

Workout breakdown:

Part 1: 40 sets of sandbag lunge back, press up and squat leg lift (alt.side) (Time Challenge)
I used my 15lbs dumbbell b/c the backpack was too bulky for doing press up. I didn't beat my old time, because I think I might sprain my left shoulder sometime this week..not sure what I did though.
Time: 4:34 (old : 4:07)

Part 2: Interval training 5 sec off/15 sec on for 12 rounds of Rocket Launchers

(1-2-3 Jump up)
4-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6 (old :6-6-6-5-5-5-5-6-5-5-6-5)

Part 3: 20 sets of Kick Ups (Time Challenge)
Time: 3:31 (old 4:10 - incorrectly)
This time I did it correctly!

Part 4: Interval training 10 sec/10 sec for 12 rounds of Jump Lunge/Mountain Climbers non stop

Roughly I did 9 jump lunges at first interval and between 3-5 afterward (mixed with step back but I kept myself moving and did about 15-15 Mountain Climbers. This one is still a super burn out!
(old: I did roughly 5 Jump lunges at first intv and only between 1-3 afterward and 5-10 Mountain Climbers. Super burn out! I think I took way too many breaks, especially for jump lunges)

Plus:
5-5-5 1 leg assisted reverse push up - I am working on doing reverse push up with both legs straight instead bent.
10 Burpees

Bodyrock.tv: Hot Body Workout 2

I did this in May and it's time to see if I could beat my old scores!

Workout breakdown:

Set interval timer for 5 sec off/55 sec on for 15 rounds
1. Side Jump Lunge 48-43-41 (old 59-50-50)
2. Reptile Push Up 18-13-11 (old 12-10-11)
3. V-Crunch 37-38-37 (old 39-37-36)
4. Prisoner Squat 46-50-45 (old 32-33-31)
5. Hanging Knee Raises 21-20-19 (old - did leg raises on the ground 19-18-18)

Ok I didn't beat my side jump lunges nor the V Crunch thanks to my monthly cramps..UGH...it was so hard to concentrate doing the workout while I was trying to bear with the painful cramps. But I am happy with my reptile push ups, hanging knee raises and the squats.

Slow Down Workout

Today I wanted it to as slow as possible thus inspired me to try one of Mark's Daily Apple WOW: Slow Down Workout.

Warm up:
4 minutes interval Double-Unders (10 sec off/ 20 sec on for 8 rounds)

Can I say I'm getting a hang on this double unders? :D Not consequently yet...but I was happy enough at least I could string single-double-single-double for at least 10 times in a row!

WOW: Slowdown Workout
2 rounds of:
12 slow push ups (broke it down into 3 slow push ups)
15 slow squats (with 20lbs backpack)
10 slow pull ups (subbed with reverse push up with dip station)
2 minute plank hold - total burn out!

Extras:
50 knee raises (broke it down into 10 consequence rep, feet off the ground all the time)
12 Pistols (each leg)
4 Burpees for Erin

Who said doing it slow is easy? In fact it's much harder to do 12 slow push ups than 12 fast paced push ups.

Bodyrock.tv: Stripping Fat Workout

Another nice and short 12 minute workout, divided into 2 parts.

Warm up: 100-200 skipping, squats, lunges and couple reps some of the workouts.

Workout:
Part 1: 6 minute time challenge
2 commando Push Ups
Roll over to other side of the mat
Power up to a squat
Big jump forward across the mat
Pick up the bag and place it on the upper back
10 Sandbag* squats
Put down the bag

Sandbag* Sit Up 11-10-9**

4 burpees for Erin

*20 lbs backpack
** Wasted time struggling to get the backpack grip. Unlike the real sandbag, backpack is more round and bulky thus it's hard to keep it above my head when doing sit up. I need to find a better way to grab it.

When in doubt, do burpees

I wasn't in a mood of a long workout nor interval. Solutions? I did 100 burpees instead and took me about 14:58 (almost 15 minutes) to finish.

See when you have no particular idea what to do for your workout, burpees can never go wrong.

Bodyrock.tv: Wicked Things Workout

A time challenge workout, which personally is harder for me than HIIT because the length of the workout depends on myself. It could be shorter if I finish it faster or longer if I struggle a lot. Of course everything has to be in proper forms.

2 Rounds of:
10 Jump lunges & swing*
20 Diagonal Knee Raises
10 Jump lunges & swing*
10 Side Planks & Leg Lift (each side) (no Ugi Ball)
10 Jump lunges & swing*
20 Plank Toe Touch and Vertical Leap
10 Jump lunges & swing*
20 Pike Press and Knee Tuck
10 Jump lunges & swing*
20 Round Kick, Back Lunge and Knee Raise

1 Burpee for Erin in the end of the circuit

I finished this in 30:40 (including the burpee in the end). Jump Lunges always kill my legs instantly and with holding a weight while switching the legs surely made it even more challenging. In the middle of 2nd round, I had to do lunge step back instead of jump but then towards the end, I pushed myself to do the jump.

* Used one 8lbs dumbbell

Bodyrock.tv: Hands Free Workout

Today's workout felt amazingly good and I am also proud with my scores today! :D Besides I got to let my upper body "rest" a little bit before hitting the next brutal workout for tomorrow. The only thing I didn't have a fitball so I just did everything with my own bodyweight.
