Surprisingly I could get up at 4:00 am this morning and rolled out from the bed around 4:30 am. Usually it was hard for me to get up this early during weekends, but today was an exception. I was excited to do Zuzana's newest workout: Bang Bang Workout.
This time the workout is a combination of interval and abs workout.
Workout breakdown:
1. High Knees (Interval - 4 mins 20 sec on /10 sec off) 8 rounds
50/51/48/44/46/44/44/47
2. Leg Lift, Star crunch & Butt Lift for 30 reps
3. Low Jack (Interval - 4 mins 20 sec on /10 sec off) 8 rounds
18/21/20/20/22/22/22/22
4. Side Plank Lift - 25 reps each side
5. Scissors (Interval - 4 mins 20 sec on /10 sec off) 8 rounds
42/49/41/50/50/48/48/53
6. One Leg Bridge, Leg Lift & Toe Touch for 25 reps each side
After the workout, I was totally soaked in sweat!

Yoga and Abs
Actually today was an easy day for me. I did some Yoga mainly just for stretching and relaxation. And at the end I did some Abs on the ball.
Pretty low intensity workout I'd say.

Bodyrock.tv: Tight Jeans Booty Workout
I decided to take it a little easier today so I did Bodyrock.tv Tight Jeans Booty Workout again. I just realized that last time I did this, I set the wrong timer. It's supposedly 15 minutes instead of 10.
Set timer for 15 minutes and do this circuit back to back without much break in between. For extra challenge for the crunches, keep the feet off the ground, even when rolling over.
1. Jumping Jacks - 398
2. Crunches - 210
I have to admit that my crunches were done haphazardly. Gotta work on it more!

Rest Day
My midsection was pretty sore today, especially if I contracted my abs. Not sure either Zuzana's Hot Viral Sweat workout kicked my ass or the Ab Ripper X that I did the day before.

Bodyrock.tv Hot Viral Sweat Workout
Another brutal interval workout from Bodyrock.tv. 30 sec on / 10 sec off, 24 rounds of these 4 exercises (repeat 6 times):
1. Leg Elevated Sumo Push Ups 8/5/7/6/5*/7* (I had to go down on my knees for the last 2 b/c my left shoulder felt hurt- I might sprain it a bit)
2. Ninja Jump Tuck 5/5/4/5/5/5 - not bad though I didn't jump as smooth as Zuzana
3. Prisoner Get Up 3/5/4/4.5/4/4.5 - I had to cheat a bit using one hand to help me get up
4. Pike Side Jump 31/29/27/27/31/29.5 - I did the Side step version, though I had to slow down a bit at the end because I was getting tired.
Watch Zuzana doing this workout. Trust me, I'm NOWHERE like her when doing this workout. Not even half of it.
Yesterday evening, I did Ab Ripper X after such a looong time after I completed my second round of P90X.
But I didn't do it along with the video. Instead I did all moves in 30 reps, including the leg climb which was supposedly only 12 reps on each side - I did 30. That explained why I collapsed after 50 reps of Mason's Twist. And I was aiming for 60 reps for it.
Not bad for me who hasn't done Ab Ripper X for almost 2 months and not even sore from it.

All about Abs with Mindy Mylrea
I've had All about Abs with Mindy Mylrea for a while but haven't got a chance to do it, especially this workout incorporates the stability ball.
There are 3 parts of this workout:
First part - using medicine ball
Second part - using stability ball
Third part - using your own body weight.
Since I don't have medicine ball, I skipped the first part and went straight to the stability ball. First time doing this exercise, most of the time I just kept falling off from the ball and missed the sequence. Pike with feet on the ball? Side plank with the stability ball in between your legs? Boy....
But despite those, I still broke some sweat.
Maybe tonight I'll do more Core/Ab focus exercises and be ready for another Bodyrock.tv brutal workout.

Bodyrock.tv: Enjoy the Burn Workout
Enjoy the Burn Workout 50/10 - 12 rounds - took exactly 12 minutes.
Bodyrock.tv did the video a little differently this time. Instead of clips of when she was doing the workout and then a tutorial video, Zuzana did the entire workout for us to follow..-uncut. More like a workout class style. So it feels like we're doing the workout together with her! It's kinda cool in some ways. Too bad I was too lazy to bring my laptop down this morning and played the video when I was doing the workout. Maybe next time.
Workout breakdown (repeated 3 times) and my score:
1. Santana Push Ups (Left side) - 6/6/5
2. Half Burpee - 14/12/13
3. Santana Push Ups (Right side) 6/7/6
4. Jump Lunge (I did the Backward Lunge without chair as a modified version) -
21/23/25
For the Santana Push ups I messed up the left and right side. I thought the left side was determined by which SIDE I was facing when did the side plank. After re-watching the video, it was determined by WHICH SUPPORTING ARM that I was using when doing the side plank lift.
Good workout. I was a sweaty mess after this.
