It's been a while since I did this workout and when I saw Nina, one of bodyrocker tweeted that she planned to do this one, I knew I should revisit this workout :) What could be more motivating having someone who also doing it at the same time (sort of), even though my booty and legs were still crying from yesterday's workout.
The last time I did this was back in November 2010, so now it's a good time trying to beat my old records.
Workout breakdown (set timer 50/10 for 12 rounds)
1. Sumo Jump Squat & Leg Lift 18-19-16 (old 17/16/12)
2. 1-2 Reptile Push Ups 13-11-11 (old 13/12/9)
3. Squat Side Hop and Side Lunge 11-11-11 (old 10/9/9)
4. Seated V Scissors 60-50-50 (old 50/45/47)
After this, I did some strength training such as triceps dip (one leg assisted), leg raises, seated pull up, reverse push ups.

I'm ALIVE and STILL kick ass!
Holy moly, I haven't updated this blog for a while (like more than a week???)
Anyway, good news is my lower back pain is ALMOST GONE...*almost*...it's still there and I still can feel it when doing certain move. For the past 1 1/2 week I've been doing LOTS of yoga and core exercises with the stability ball.
I'm not particularly doing P90X Yoga style, though most of the poses and sequence are taken from there. Btw, K (my hubby) told me a little tips for get the most out from Yoga - deep breathing throughout the whole thing and hold the poses longer.
When you breathe in always breathe using your stomach instead of breathe into your chest. So when you breathe in, your stomach is supposedly going out instead of going in. And when you breathe out, you supposed to suck in the stomach. Do those while holding the yoga pose and I guarantee you'll be dripping in sweats in about 15 minutes, especially when you're doing the moving asanas.
And today I decided to get back to Zuzana's Bodyrock.tv workout again.
I picked The Best Ripped Ab workout (50 sec /10 sec interval) - 3 rounds
1) Sumo Jump Squat and Leg Lift (17/12/10)
2) 1-2 Reptile Push Up (11/12/10)
3) Squat Side Hop and Side Lunge (8/8/8)
4) Seated V-Scissors (41/36/38)
Compare to last time, my score is actually not bad!
And following after that, I did 30 mins yoga, with the breathing technique I discussed earlier. Boy, the sweat just continued. LOVE IT!

Best Ripped Abs Workout & Skipping
Today I think I did a bit better than last time:
12 rounds of 50 sec/10 sec rest interval:
1. Sumo Jump 10/9/9
2. 1-2 Reptile Push ups 10/10/10
3. Squat Side Hop 9/8/7
4. Seated V scissors 30/33/35
And I just bought a jump rope, and did as many skips as I could after the main workout. So all these time when I did 100 skips, I actually didn't use any rope. Yeah, kinda cheating. So I think it'll be a loooong way before I could actually do 100 skips for REAL.
For those who are in the US, Happy Labor Day weekend. Be safe.

Bodyrock tv- Best Ripped Abs Workout
I tried this workout this morning and boy I was drenched in sweat, even though this workout only for 12 minutes. The key is to push as hard as you can in the beginning to get the most out of it.
3 rounds (10 sec rest/ 50 sec interval)
1. Sumo Jump Squat with Leg Lift (Score: 13/12/11)
2. 1-2 Reptile Push ups (11/7/7)
3. Squat Side Hop and Side Lunge (7/8/7)
4. Seated V-Scissors (33/41/34)
As usual yoga stretching and relaxation as my usual cool down.
Speaking of which, not sure if you notice I stopped doing One Hundred Push Ups Program. I strayed for that 3rd week and I decided to stop it altogether. After 2 consecutive weeks of push ups, it gets boring and monotone. I like variety in my workout :)
Btw I added this blog in HLB (Healthy Living Blogs). A little bit about HLB:
