Bodyrock.tv: Bad Girl Workout

Yay! I am finally going to do new workouts after an entire week going on older routines while on a vacation. Seriously it was challenging enough doing a workout in a small space plus on a rocking ship. It surely tested my balance and agility but at the same time I actually beat some of my PRs on those older routines as well. I'll post my workout summary while I was on vacation sometime later but for now I'll post my today's scores for Bad Girl Workout.

Workout breakdown:
Set an interval timer for 10 sec off/50 sec on for 18 rounds
High Knees Skipping 110-90-90-88-73-65
Sandbag Squats (20 lbs backpack) 21-20-20-19-18-17
Knee Raises 22-20-20-18-19-21

Bodyrock.tv: 365 Rep Belly Blaster Workout -2

I was being bad not preplanning my workout for this week (and prolly next week), so this morning I just fumbled around my workout book and landed on this one. The last time I did was about 3 months back but I had to modify 2 things: Dropped the backpack weight to 15 lbs in the middle of the circuit and substituted Core Split with Star Crunch. Today I did everything in proper forms.

Workout breakdown:
30 reps Sandbag Squat & Back Lunge (20lbs)
30 reps Triple Knee Tuck/ 1 Leg Push Up Combo (each push up counts as 1 rep)
30 rep Sandbag full body workout (20 lbs)
30 reps Forward and Backward Lunge (each leg)- (20lbs) - each lunge count as 1 rep
30 reps seated pull ups
30 reps sandbag squats (20lbs)
30 reps side plank jumps (each side jump count as 1 rep)
30 reps lift split (aka Core splits)
30 reps pendulum
15 reps One Arm Press Up (each arm)
30 reps Mountain Climber
5 reps Ninja Jump Tuck

Although I didn't beat my old time (32:01), I was content enough that I finished it in 32:11 (only 10 seconds later), especially I did all the workouts in proper forms.

Bodyrock.tv: 1000 Skips Exercise Challenge - 2

This exercise challenge was supposedly for yesterday, but with tons of fiasco going on, I ended up not having time to do it so pushed it for this morning. First time I did this challenge was in December last year.

It took me 15:54 to finish and today I BEAT the old PR by finishing this in 10:19.

BIG THANKS to Nina, a fellow bodyrocker for telling me how to trick our brain so it won't slow us down by putting 10 different objects in front of you. Each object represent 10 reps. So after counting 10 reps, move your view to the next object and so on. By the time you're finished the entire row, reverse the order (remember to look at the last object twice before going in reverse order). By the time you're back looking at the first object, make a mark on your paper. You just finished 200 reps!

So when you're tricking your brain thinking it'll be only 5 sets, it surely felt less intimidating. That being said, of course it still depends on your fitness level as well. My next challenge would be finishing this under 10 minutes!

Thanks so much Nina for sharing her tips and tricks :D
