Upper Body WO and LovingFit Sharper Abs Challenge

Can't believe that today was my last day of LovingFit Sharper Abs Challenge, but I decided to keep this challenge as part of my daily warm up, although I might not do the entire 3 rounds. If I'm doing it everyday, 1 round should be enough until I could do more of those.

Then I did my own Upper Body WO

3 Rounds:
15 renegade rows (2 dumbbell rows in plank and 1 push up)
15 reverse body row (assisted 1 bent leg)
15 Sandbag push press
15 skull crushers
15 lateral shoulder raise
15 sandbag clean and press

Rest 1-2 minutes before starting the next round

Dumbbell: a pair of 8lbs - although I figured that they were way too light for renegade rows

Sandbag: 35 lbs

Round 1 11:42
Round 2 10:50
Round 3 10:12
