From time-to-time, I'd like to share my favorite workout of the week with you all! I participate in many boot camps and training sessions at my gym that really kick my butt. If you don't have the ability to hire a trainer or participate in some type of group training, I hope that these workouts can help you reach your goals at home or in the gym on your own.
Overview: 2 circuits of 4 exercises for 3 rounds of varying work/time intervals. Complete all 3 rounds of Circuit 1, take a 60 second rest in between and complete all 3 rounds of Circuit 2.
ROUND 1 - 45 seconds of work, 15 seconds of rest
ROUND 2 - 35 seconds of work, 25 seconds of rest
ROUND 3 - 30 seconds of work, 30 seconds of rest
Circuit 1
Slow Push-ups - with your arms extended in a push-up stance, lower your body down for 5 seconds until your chest touches the ground, then push it back up for 5 seconds.
Mountain Climbers (modified: elevated mountain climbers on a box)
Medicine Ball Chops [12 lbs.] - lift the medicine ball up and twist to the side as you bring the ball down side to side.
Goblet Reverse Lunges [20 lbs.] - hold a kettlebell with both hands at your chest and extend one leg back at a time in a lunge position.
Circuit 2
Slider Snow Angels - in a plank position, put your feet on sliders and extend outward at the same time. Control your core!
