Bodyrock.tv: Dirty Bit Workout

So since now I have extra free time "unwillingly", I did 2 rounds of Dirty Bit Workout to get the most out of it. Note: I still couldn't do high knees jump rope as fast to bring up my heart rate so I just did regular skipping in very fast pace.

Workout breakdown:
Set the interval timer for 10 sec off/50 sec on for 12 rounds.
Do high knees skips/skipping at every 50 sec interval in between other exercises.

Backward Lunge with Sandbag (I used my 25 lbs backpack)
Round 1: 20-18
Round 2: 20-19

Reverse Push Ups
Round 1: 16-16
Round 2: 17-16

Monkey Push Up & Jump Up
Round 1: 15-14
Round 2: 12-13

Bodyrock.tv: Tik Tok Exercise Challenge

I woke up with a scratchy throat (damn cold germs just don't wanna get out from my body) which almost made me wanted to skip today's challenge. Actually every morning I always feel this way but once I warmed up and got into the workout, I didn't feel like to quit.

Today's challenge was a combination of time challenge exercise combo and 4 minutes interval high knees jump rope.

Exercise combo:
1. Do a monkey push up
2. Jump tuck
3. Get into crab position
4. Do 10 kick up

Complete description, instructions, pictures can be found here.

Workout breakdown:
1. 10 sets exercise combo (4:00)
2. 4 min. interval high knees jump rope (10 sec off /20 sec on for 8 rounds)
3. 10 sets exercise combo (3:40)
4. 4 min. interval high knees jump rope (10 sec off /20 sec on for 8 rounds)
5. 10 sets exercise combo (3:26)

Total workout time: 19:07



I'm not sure if I got a little stronger or perhaps I didn't do today's exercise challenge hard enough. It seems like I beat Zuzana's time in all the exercise combo part. For one thing I know, when I did my kick up, my legs weren't all straight up - more like 45 degrees, but I did it as fast as I could while engaging my core.
