Short Interval Circuit Training
Do each 4 exercises below in 10 sec off/20 sec on for 8 rounds
Freestyle skipping
25lbs Sandbag clean, press, squat and rows
Leg raises on a dip station
Competition burpees
I did extra 10 burpees afterward to compensate 50 Burpees for 50 Days Challenge (Day 43) - with actual push ups, not competition style.
It surely feels good to do my own composed workouts.

Bodyrock.tv: Hot Quickie Workout 2
Today would be a busy day since we had to run lots of errands going to 3 different markets and other stuff so I made today as a quick workout day by picking another older Zuzana's Bodyrock.tv workout: Hot Quickie Workout.
15 minutes AMRAP:
5 jump lunges
5 reverse push ups
5 jump squats
5 push ups
Result: 14 rounds (I was 2 push ups away from completing 14 rounds sharp). Just a bit short from my last PR but for sure my forms were strong and solid, especially the push ups!

Bodyrock.tv: Fast Burn Workout and Hot Body Workout
As I thought I've done ALL Zuzana's older Bodyrock.tv workout, I missed this one!
Workout:
50 sets Climber Lunge (1 Jump Lunge + 2 Mountain Climbers)
100 Pike Jack Jumps
50 sets no name Abs exercise (Start with lie down on floor with both legs extended to the sky, lower them, then rise them again, bend the knees, rotate towards to the side, extend them and bend them- reverse the movement to come back to starting position- this all count as 1 rep)
100 Kick Ups (no jump)
Time 17:13
And I re-did Hot Body Workout since last time I set the timer wrong. I didn't bother to count the reps and just pushed myself to the max!
In case you're wondering, weekdays are 50 Burpees per day.

Bodyrock.tv: Shake It 250 reps Workout -2
If you think I've been falling off the workout wagon for this week, you totally don't know me. I made slight changes to my workout routine lately. Instead of struggling and rushing to squeeze in a workout in the morning at 4 am Monday-Friday, I decided to just use those days to fulfill my 50 Burpees for 50 Days Challenge. I could always do 50 burpees in the evening when I just got back from work and before having my dinner.
So I'm currently on Day 28. Interestingly enough, yesterday I had extra energy so after I finished my 50 burpees, I decided to do 5 minute Knee Raise Challenge and cranked out 105 knee raises on a dip station.
Another interesting thing, today I ACTUALLY WOKE UP at 4:30 am WITHOUT an alarm. For some reason, I had this urge to do a workout and I picked Zuzana's "last" Bodyrock.tv Workout: Shake It 250 reps The last time I did this was back in November 2011.
This time I used a solid 25lbs sandbag and finished this challenge in 17:10.
I'm supposed to fulfill my 50 burpees for today, but since I did a workout and the workout itself had some burpee (without push up version), I think I'm gonna cut mysel a bit slack today.
Besides, work was a bit crazy today and I didn't even leave until 2pm. It was supposed to be a half day..plus I didn't really have any lunch.
But hey, who cares right? It's not like anyone reading this blog anyway..HA!
