6 Week - 6 Pack Summer Challenge: Week 1 - Day 1

Original workout: Six Pack Factory

I decided to give this program a try since I've been doing bootcamp style workout like ZWOWs and Loving Fit for quite sometime, it might be good to switch things around a bit. Plus I always want to have those 6 packs abs..who doesn't? :)

Part #1: Cardio
15sec off/15 sec on for 40 rounds for 20 minute workout (60 rounds for 30 minute workout)
Dumbbell swing (I used one 12 lbs dumbbell)




Part #2: Abs workout
3 Rounds:
20 medicine ball reach
20 mb sit ups
20 elevated leg crunch
20 mb drop (sort of like P90X mason twist with weight drop on sides)
20 weighted single leg crunch (keep feet off the ground the entire time)
20 weighted jack knives (similar to single leg crunch - keep feet off the ground and do both knee tucks instead altering)
20 mb twists (just like P90X mason twist but not dropping the weight on the sides)

I used a mini 10lbs sandbag in place of the medicine ball




Round 1: 7:45 // Round 2: 6:56 // Round 3: 5:30

Then 50 Burpees Day 22!

The workout was ok..the cardio bored me the most as it wasn't that challenging. I rather shorten it to get more intensity from the cardio but oh well. The entire thing was a bit too long in my opinion. 20 mins is usually max workout time for me.
