Bodyrock.tv: My Buns Hurt Workout-2

My buns definitely hurt after this workout. First time did it in April so it was time to revisit it again!

Workout breakdown:
Part 1: 40 sets of sandbag lunge back, press up and squat leg lift (alt.side) (Time Challenge)
I used my 15lbs dumbbell b/c the backpack was too bulky for doing press up. I didn't beat my old time, because I think I might sprain my left shoulder sometime this week..not sure what I did though.
Time: 4:34 (old : 4:07)

Part 2: Interval training 5 sec off/15 sec on for 12 rounds of Rocket Launchers
(1-2-3 Jump up)
4-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6 (old :6-6-6-5-5-5-5-6-5-5-6-5)

Part 3: 20 sets of Kick Ups (Time Challenge)
Time: 3:31 (old 4:10 - incorrectly)
This time I did it correctly!

Part 4: Interval training 10 sec/10 sec for 12 rounds of Jump Lunge/Mountain Climbers non stop
Roughly I did 9 jump lunges at first interval and between 3-5 afterward (mixed with step back but I kept myself moving and did about 15-15 Mountain Climbers. This one is still a super burn out!
(old: I did roughly 5 Jump lunges at first intv and only between 1-3 afterward and 5-10 Mountain Climbers. Super burn out! I think I took way too many breaks, especially for jump lunges)

Plus:
5-5-5 1 leg assisted reverse push up - I am working on doing reverse push up with both legs straight instead bent.
10 Burpees

Bodyrock.tv: Hot Body Workout 2

I did this in May and it's time to see if I could beat my old scores!

Workout breakdown:
Set interval timer for 5 sec off/55 sec on for 15 rounds
1. Side Jump Lunge 48-43-41 (old 59-50-50)
2. Reptile Push Up 18-13-11 (old 12-10-11)
3. V-Crunch 37-38-37 (old 39-37-36)
4. Prisoner Squat 46-50-45 (old 32-33-31)
5. Hanging Knee Raises 21-20-19 (old - did leg raises on the ground 19-18-18)

Ok I didn't beat my side jump lunges nor the V Crunch thanks to my monthly cramps..UGH...it was so hard to concentrate doing the workout while I was trying to bear with the painful cramps. But I am happy with my reptile push ups, hanging knee raises and the squats.

Slow Down Workout

Today I wanted it to as slow as possible thus inspired me to try one of Mark's Daily Apple WOW: Slow Down Workout.

Warm up:
4 minutes interval Double-Unders (10 sec off/ 20 sec on for 8 rounds)

Can I say I'm getting a hang on this double unders? :D Not consequently yet...but I was happy enough at least I could string single-double-single-double for at least 10 times in a row!

WOW: Slowdown Workout
2 rounds of:
12 slow push ups (broke it down into 3 slow push ups)
15 slow squats (with 20lbs backpack)
10 slow pull ups (subbed with reverse push up with dip station)
2 minute plank hold - total burn out!

Extras:
50 knee raises (broke it down into 10 consequence rep, feet off the ground all the time)
12 Pistols (each leg)
4 Burpees for Erin

Who said doing it slow is easy? In fact it's much harder to do 12 slow push ups than 12 fast paced push ups.
