Happy Hump Day everyone! I'm still rolling with Bodyrock TV this week! I've given Jillian a little rest, some of her workouts are injuries waiting to happen. Especially for someone like myself with bad knees. She did a curtsy type squat with a bicep curl on disc 6 that put my knee on standby for a few days. I had to re-think a few things because I cannot afford to be out of commission due to a simple injury. Workout soreness, I can handle, but pain in my joints is something that will put me out for a minute. Honestly, sometimes Jillian does the most in her workouts. Not sure if she's trying to figure out how crazy she can get and if you're stupid enough to follow her up or if she is for real! Lol, I love 30 day shred now, but I'm finding some of her workouts on the body revolution program a little nuts and redundant.
Bodyrock TV is interval/circuit style (which I love) and you can kind of build your own workout routine as you feel. Also, I love working out to my own music - some of the music on the workout DVDs uninspire me! On most of the Turbofire workouts, I mute it and plug my headphones in. Some of the music is just too corny for me.
Okay, now to the workout of the day!!! This workout is brought to you by Bodyrock TV and Zwow. This is a set of workouts found on her Youtube page; lots of intervals, plyo, strength, abs, everything. Check her out!
Focused on Abs today along with some intervals this morning. Lately, I get my abs done with my new baby crying in the background. He can not let me get through an ab workout without putting himself in my face, so I have to put him behind the gate so I can get it done. He cries the WHOLE ENTIRE time, but with a face as cute as his, I forgive him as soon as he snorts :)
I used a compilation of moves from BRTV Top 10 Killer Ab Workouts. Set your timers for 50 seconds work, 10 seconds rest. Make a goal to perform these workouts 3 times through at first. As you get stronger and start to develop more endurance, add another interval or two for a MAJOR burn!
Killer Ab Combo
- Sit ups with double jab at the top
- Sit ups with alternating knee and arm raises
- Oblique twist with weights
- Bicycle crunches (Ouch)
Circuit Sweat Workout
- Push ups (10 reps) - 10/10/10
- Burpeee (20 killer reps) - 10/6/5
- Squat Jumps (30 reps) - 30/30/30
- Mountain climbers (40 reps) - 40/40/40
Calories burned: 235
Workout notes: Soooo, needless to say the burpee's kicked my butt. I was struggling with doing just 10 but I will progress to get them done! I kind of half assed my ab workout as well. I started feeling really jittery and tired and couldn't push through. I must do some research on what to eat before a workout so I won't have those shakes so bad in the morning. I'm thinking I'll do my workout in the evenings after work. I need to be able to get to a workouts done without feeling the wave of exhaustion and without damn near passing out. So tomorrow, I will do my workout before going to bed. I guess that will make me sleep like a rock, huh?!?
