Finally some Yoga!

I realized I haven't done yoga this week or two? The weather was a bit cool today so didn't get much sweat out but at least got a good workout done. Better than nothing!

Bodyrock.tv: Psychopath Workout

This morning I decided to give one of Zuzana's old workout a try. There are 5 bodyweight exercises and do each of them is an interval workout. Set the timer 20 sec on / 10 sec off for 8 rounds for each of the exercises.

But I set the timer wrong this morning. I set mine to be 30/10 instead. It wasn't bad. In fact, I might workout a little harder and a bit longer than it was intended to be.



Workout breakdown:
20 sec on / 10 sec off for each of the exercise (Today I did 30 on / 10 off instead)
#1 Burpees (with push ups and jump up) 6/6/6/6/5/5/5
#2 One Leg Deadlift and Jump Up (switch side after 1 interval) - I started mine on
Right 11 1/2 /10/12/11/12/11/12/12
#3 Mountain Climber 60/40/33/24/30/35/40/43
#4 Side Crunches (switch side after 1 interval) - (start from right)
21/20/17/15/17/15/17
#5 Side Lunge and Touch Down 27/27/25/22/26/27/27/26

Bodyrock.tv: Get These Abs Workout

This is a time challenge workout so the goal here is to complete this circuit as fast as possible in a proper form. Mine was kinda shaky, I won't lie.



Workout breakdown:
#1. Jump Squats and Push Ups - 15 reps - my time: 4:35
#2. 10 Kick Ups & 10 Mountain Climbers - 6 reps - my time: 2:21
#3. 10 reps of 1 Leg Pike Press & 10 reps of One Leg Jump Squats - 4 reps each leg -
my time: 8:19 (I had to alternate the legs cause it was dead after the jump -
my jump wasn't quite one leg, more like 80/20
#4. 20 reps of My Push Ups - my time: 3:16 - I had to drop on my butt everytime I
turned over to do the other leg push ups.

Total time: 18:23

Jump squats and pike press were the ones that pretty tough for me. I had to take lots of breaks in between and kinda cheated not squatting low enough.

OFF

I know it's too early to take a rest day but I didn't have enough sleep last night nor I had time to do workout after I got home.
