Yes, you read the title correctly...WORKOUT WEDNESDAY
Last month I posted a survey to get a better feel of what you all would like to see more of on my blog. One of the most surprising and repeated responses was "Workouts".
Well, it just so happens my husband has taken over the role as my personal trainer, among many other roles, just this past weekend. After tonight's CRAZY workout, I thought maybe I could share these workouts with you. Now, I've never done P90X, Insanity, bootcamp, or the likes....and I'm sure they are all a lot tougher than this...but I'm going to share with you what my super hero Marine husband gave me to do.
I really thought I was in pretty good shape as I have been running 3 miles almost every day for a while now. Boy was I wrong.
Below is the workout I did tonight. I ran my 3 miles first then did the below items. It really doesn't take a long time. Hubby said to do them in this order. I don't know why, but I trust him.
Also, this isn't something you do every night. I would rotate this with other workouts. I also recommend keeping a journal. Keep track of what you complete and how long it takes you. Challenge yourself to maintain the time or do better each time. Either way, a workout journal is great for tracking your success and trouble areas.

I suggest you do some type of cardio before hand. You don't have to, but I love cardio and it will help loosen you up and get your blood pumping. I ran 3 miles, but you can do the elliptical, etc. Whatever floats your boat.
1. 8 Count Bodybuilders (10 of these) (THESE SUCK SO BAD BUT SO GOOD)
2. Leg lifts with ball (10 of these, 4 counts is one(up down up down))
3. French Press with 5 lb dumb bells (20 of these)
4. Mountain Climbers (10 of these. Count in fours though)
5. Military Press with dumbbells (20 of these with 10lb weights)
6. Burpees (10 of these) Make that jump count!!!
That wasn't too bad right? Now take a 2 minute break and repeat twice!
I know this maybe easy for some of you, but it really got me tonight. Hope you enjoy!!!
Awesome
ReplyDeleteWorkout wednesday looks hard... I think I prefer wordless wednesday :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly I cannot see myself doing #6... but #2 and #5 looks doable. I hope you had a great workout!
Jillian.
This sounds very difficult and tiring. :( There I go, whining again. At least, I'm swimming three times per week with a masters swim team, but I know I need core work. Just haven't found the right workout yet. Thanks for the inspiration! Found you at Aloha Hop.
