Part 2: 5 minute challenge
6 regular push ups (orig. One Arm Push Up with Ugi)

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:
Do at least 2 or 5 rounds
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)

Bodyrock.tv: Prison Cell Workout

I can't believe there are couple Zuzana's older workouts that I've missed, including this Prison Cell Workout. The best part of it, no equipment needed besides the timer itself.

Workout: 4 rounds
30 walking lunges
10 prisoner's burpee (1 rep= 2x (1 push up, 2 knee tucks) + jump up)
30 kick over a chair (1 rep = 1 kick on one leg followed by other leg)

Saturday, November 19, 2011

Workout schedule: Nov 20-26

It's Thanksgiving week in the US but it's no excuse for not working out! Even yet, it's the BEST time to workout as I will have day off from work so I could sleep in a bit!

Bodyrock.tv: Extreme Workout Challenge

Bodyrock.tv: Run the World Workout (PR 1)

Bodyrock.tv: Sexy Time Abs Workout

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

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!

It's time to beat my old scores from Killer Body Workout aka Happy Halloween Workout :) which I did in May.

Workout breakdown:
Do min. 3 rounds (5 rounds max) this entire circuit
12 reps rolling jump tuck
25 reps Oblique V-ups (each side)
20 reps jump lunges
20 reps one leg bridge to crunch (each side)

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)

Warm up: Double unders, lunges, squats
