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

I am excited to say that I FINALLY ABLE executing 3-4 DOUBLE UNDERS :D



*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.

Bodyrock.tv: Bad Girl Workout

Yay! I am finally going to do new workouts after an entire week going on older routines while on a vacation.

I'll post my workout summary while I was on vacation sometime later but for now I'll post my today's scores for Bad Girl Workout.

Bodyrock.tv: 365 Rep Belly Blaster Workout -2

I was being bad not preplanning my workout for this week (and prolly next week), so this morning I just fumbled around my workout book and landed on this one. The last time I did was about 3 months back but I had to modify 2 things: Dropped the backpack weight to 15 lbs in the middle of the circuit and substituted Core Split with Star Crunch. Today I did everything in proper forms.

Workout breakdown:
30 reps Sandbag Squat & Back Lunge (20lbs)
30 reps Triple Knee Tuck/ 1 Leg Push Up Combo (each push up counts as 1 rep)
30 rep Sandbag full body workout (20 lbs)
30 reps Forward and Backward Lunge (each leg)- (20lbs) - each lunge count as 1 rep
30 reps seated pull ups
30 reps sandbag squats (20lbs)
30 reps side plank jumps (each side jump count as 1 rep)
30 reps lift split (aka Core splits)
30 reps pendulum
15 reps One Arm Press Up (each arm)
30 reps Mountain Climber
5 reps Ninja Jump Tuck

Although I didn't beat my old time (32:01), I was content enough that I finished it in 32:11 (only 10 seconds later), especially I did all the workouts in proper forms.

Bodyrock.tv: 1000 Skips Exercise Challenge - 2

This exercise challenge was supposedly for yesterday, but with tons of fiasco going on, I ended up not having time to do it so pushed it for this morning. First time I did this challenge was in December last year.

It took me 15:54 to finish and today I BEAT the old PR by finishing this in 10:19.

BIG THANKS to Nina, a fellow bodyrocker for telling me how to trick our brain so it won't slow us down by putting 10 different objects in front of you. Each object represent 10 reps. So after counting 10 reps, move your view to the next object and so on. By the time you're finished the entire row, reverse the order (remember to look at the last object twice before going in reverse order). By the time you're back looking at the first object, make a mark on your paper. You just finished 200 reps!

So when you're tricking your brain thinking it'll be only 5 sets, it surely felt less intimidating. That being said, of course it still depends on your fitness level as well. My next challenge would be finishing this under 10 minutes!

Thanks so much Nina for sharing her tips and tricks :D
