Bodyrock.tv: The Trainer Who Loved Me (300 reps workout)

Since Zuzana and Freddy are in LA for the next 9 days, this whole week of workout has been scheduled in advance. Pretty much we'll be redo our older workouts (mostly bodyweight) and try to beat our personal best! I'm so excited for this and of course I was hoping in the back of my mind that Zuzana and Freddy would arrange a meet up with all LA bodyrockers. That would be SO AWESOME!

Today's workout was The Trainer Who Loved Me (new 300 reps workout) which I did in November.

Workout breakdown (Time Challenge)
1. Jump Up and Star Lift - 60 reps
2. James Bond Lunges - 60 reps (alternating legs)
3. Monkey business exercises - 60 reps (Do a pike press with bended knees and power up to jump knee tuck for 1 rep)
4. Side Crunches - 30 reps each side
5. Break dance Push Ups and Knee Tuck - 60 reps (I had to modify it to a regular push ups instead push ups with the knee tuck- heck Zuzana even had to modify to this one after doing the knee tuck push ups for 30 reps)
(I did this in ALL proper form, although had to take lots of breaks in between. I think this one was slowing me down the most)

I finished this in 31:53 (old record 40:09) !!! I beat my old time!

Bodyrock.tv: On the Floor Abs Challenge

Set timer for 10 minutes countdown and do as many sets of these 2 exercises:
20 reps Mountain Climber - 14 sets
20 reps Toe Touch - 13 sets

Not sure if I did it right, especially the toe touch. I only did the toe touch without leg raise.

Bodyrock.tv: No Fear Exercise Challenge

Today was a short 10 minute exercise challenge. Do as many sets as possible of this sequence:
Ninja jump, jump up, clapping push ups.

I did 47 sets, with the modified clapping push ups (from my knees). Towards the end, my right elbow started to get hurt everytime I did the push up (even on knees- but I pushed as low as possible).

Bodyrock.tv: Quantum of Sweat Reloaded

We did another older workout - Quantum of Sweat which we did first time in November.

I forgot that I did this workout again in January, thus I tried to compare the scores with the first time did.

Surprisingly, I beat most of the scores -except the Reverse Push Ups & Kick Up. Other than that, I am pretty happy with my new scores!

Round 1: 8 (old 7)
Round 2: 8 (old 7)

- One Leg Skipping (Right)

Round 2: 65 (old 40)

I took as little break in between part as possible - pretty much my break was to move from the living room to the kitchen so I could do the reverse push up using the metal bar across my kitchen countertops.
