Loving Fit: Isometric Sunshine Pop Workout -2

Original workout: Loving Fit

I'm so glad I finally could make my own workout schedule after doing a constrain workout program for straight 6 weeks. I chose lower body WO for today from LovingFit.

3 Rounds of this entire circuit:
Part #1: 11 sec/11 sec for 10 rounds - no rest
Weighted Back Lunge Hold (switch side every interval)
This still totally killed my quads. First & second round I hold SB for the first 4-5
interval and by third round, I just used my own bodyweight but still kept proper form. Make no mistake, bodyweight itself is already quad killer!

Part #2: Time Challenge
30 dumbbell swings (I used a pair of 8lbs dumbbell)
20 skater lunge and up hold (each leg)
30 jump tucks
25 weighted toe raises (with 35lbs sandbag)

Time: 6:28 (old 6:23) / 5:44 (old 6:05) / 5:27 (old 6:39)

Back on Track!

I'm back on track to my workout routine after 7 consecutive days of resting. Yup..7 consecutive days and I couldn't feel better! I enjoyed the time of resting but that doesn't mean my nutrition was off wagon! I actually ate 99% clean eating (paleo style - no grains, sugar and legumes).

My first workout to ease in back to my routine was Bodyrock.tv Damn Hot Body Workout and to my surprise I actually beat most of my old scores!

10 sec off/30 sec on for 36 rounds
Squat & Press Up (Right arm) with 10lbs dumbbell 7-7-7-7
Squat & Press Up (Left arm) with 10lbs dumbbell 6-7-6-6
Half burpee 11-11-10-10
One Leg Bridge (Right leg) 18-17-18-17
One Leg Bridge (Left leg) 18-18-18-17
Half burpee 10-10-9-10
Triceps Dips & Knee Raises 9-8 (I did one leg assisted dips) 12-14 (no dips)
One Leg Sit & Lift (Left leg) 21-18-20-20
One Leg Sit & Lift (Right leg) 20-20-20-23



Note: I decided to ditch the dips on 3rd and 4th round as I rather focus on my knee raise.

Some modifications I might do: Use sandbag for the snatch so more like SB clean and press.
