Bodyrock.tv: Hot Body Beach Workout - Beat My Personal Best

My upper left neck was sore yesterday, probably from the backward lunge and overhead press from Thursday workout so I took a complete rest day. I'm glad I did that because today I managed to beat my personal best.

Workout breakdown:

Part #1 - 4 min interval (10 off/30 on for 6 rounds)

Side Lunge and Knee Tuck (Left)
P1 27 / 24 // P5 26 / 24 (old P1 20 / 20  // P5 21 / 19 )

Side Lunge and Knee Tuck (Right)
P1 26 / 24 // P5 28 / 27 (old P1 21 / 21  // P5 23 / 21 )

Happy Monkey

P1 8 / 8 // P5 8 / 8 (old P1 5 / 7  // P5 6 / 6 )
(Note: Start with feet wide apart in half squat, jump feet together, jump feet apart, jump up then go down do Monkey Push Up as 1 rep)

Part #2 - 2 minute time challenge

2 Commando Push Ups, Roll Over and do 10 Mountain Climber Sprints

P2 8 reps // P4 8.5 reps // P6 8 reps (old P2 7  // P4 6.5 // P6 6 )

Part #3 - 4 min interval workout (10 off/30 on for 6 rounds)

Jump Lunges

P3 26 / 14  / 15 // P7 28 / 13 / 16 (old P3 22 / 12 / 14  // P7 24 / 13 / 14  )

Diamond Runner Push Ups
P3 7 / 7 / 7 // P7 7 / 5 / 6 (old P3 7 / 7 / 5 // P7 5 / 6 / 6 )

Part #4 - Repeat Part #2

Part #5 - Repeat Part #1

Part #6 - Repeat Part #2

Overall I beat most of my scores, was surprised I made quite a progress on the jump lunges and the commando push ups & roll over.

Apparently Zuzana is into mixing interval and time challenge exercise lately. Hot Body Beach Workout is quite fun and yet challenging workout. Even though I struggled a lot, I still found satisfaction after I completed it.

The sequence is pretty similar to Bikini Beach Workout (after finishing the whole circuit, reverse the order then reverse it back).

Workout breakdown:

Part #1 - 4 min interval (10 off/30 on for 6 rounds)

Side Lunge and Knee Tuck (Left)
P1 20 / 20 // P5 21 / 19

Side Lunge and Knee Tuck (Right)
P1 21 / 21 // P5 23 / 21

Happy Monkey

P1 5/7 // P5 6/6
(Note: Start with feet wide apart in half squat, jump feet together, jump feet apart, jump up then go down do Monkey Push Up as 1 rep)

Part #2 - 2 minute time challenge

2 Commando Push Ups, Roll Over and do 10 Mountain Climber Sprints

P2 7 reps // P4 6.5 reps // P6 6 reps

Part #3 - 4 min interval workout (10 off/30 on for 6 rounds)

Jump Lunges

P3 22 / 12  / 14 // P7 24 / 13 / 14

Diamond Runner Push Ups
P3 7 / 7 / 5 // P7 5 / 6 /6

Part #4 - Repeat Part #2

Part #5 - Repeat Part #1

Part #6 - Repeat Part #2

Part #7 - Repeat Part #3

Happy Monkey was quite fun and it had a nice flow to it. Jump lunges remains the toughest one for me to do. I could crank up at least 20 something in the first interval, but after Diamond Runner Push Ups, my legs felt like jello.
