Bodyrock.tv: My Buns Hurt Workout

I did Zuzana's first new workout for this week in the morning. Let me tell you that I was THIS CLOSE to skip the entire workout and slept in, but I'm glad I didn't!

Workout breakdown:

Part 1: 40 sets of sandbag lunge back, press up and squat leg lift (alt.side) (Time Challenge)
I used my 15lbs dumbbell b/c the backpack was too bulky for doing press up

Time: 4:07

Part 2: Interval training 5 sec off/15 sec on for 12 rounds of Rocket Launchers

(1-2-3 Jump up)

6-6-6-5-5-5-5-6-5-5-6-5

Part 3: 20 sets of Kick Ups (Time Challenge)

Time: 4:10

Note: After rewatching the video again, I realized I didn't start up my kick up position from half squat. Instead I started off in crab position already...oh well.

Part 4: Interval training 10 sec/10 sec for 12 rounds of Jump Lunge/Mountain Climbers non stop

Roughly I did 5 Jump lunges at first intv and only between 1-3 afterward and 5-10 Mountain Climbers. Super burn out! I think I took way too many breaks, especially for jump lunges

Total workout time 16:18

There was an extra 20 min interval skipping after this main workout. But since fat loss is not my goal, I didn't do it. Besides my time in the morning was pretty tight already.

Bodyrock.tv: Yeah Workout

I took another rest day yesterday to give my stiff neck more break and this morning when I woke up, no more stiff neck but then I had a slight dry sore throat...DAMN!

It took me a while to decide whether I should do the newest bodyrock.tv workout or just went to the older routine. It looked pretty intimidating, especially the Cartwheel part.

In the end I just sucked it and did it.

Workout breakdown:

Part 1: 30 reps Push Ups & Monkey Kick (Time Challenge)
My time: 5:56 - mine wasn't as smooth as Zuzana

Part 2: 5 sec of Cartwheel / 15 sec Mountain Climbers for 18 rounds (Interval)
15 sec Mt climbers felt so exhausting..for some reason I'm losing my Mt. Climber stamina? :( and of course I did my FUGLY cartwheels LOL - more like I was stumbling to the sides rather than landing softly

Cartwheel supposed to look like this

But mine (FUGLY cartwheel) looked more like this:

Part 3: 50 sets of 3x Jump Lunges + Front Kick (Time Challenge)
My time: 9:40 - quads and legs were burning and I had to take lots of break after 1-2 sets.

Bodyrock.tv: Give Me a Reason Workout

Zuzana posted a motivation for all of us to think why we are exercising regularly. I think it's nice to read this kind of post. For me, it helps me to keep motivating myself to keep working out. She posted a video of Ginger Rogers, a 92 year old lady who did salsa dance. For a 92 year old woman, her moves are impressive! Go check it out on her Facebook!

I like today's workout title: Give Me a Reason Workout.

Workout breakdown:

Set timer 10 sec off / 50 sec on for 12 rounds.
1. Jump Lunges 25
2. Leg Raises (I did it on the floor) 16

5. Jump Lunges 19

Without taking much break, I continued to 20 minute interval skipping (10 sec off/20 sec on for 40 rounds). Good sweaty Saturday morning indeed!

Now I'm off to have breakfast, grocery shopping and ice skating!
