Wednesday

I have been digging Loving Fit lately!! I did another workout by her today, and ended with a bit of extra leg work.

"Beware of Burning Monster" 

Part 1
Set your timer for 2 intervals of 35 seconds each, for the total of 14 rounds. Or you can set your timer for 1 interval of 35 seconds and 28 round it’s up to you.
There is 2 exercises in part one, you will switch sides after completing both exercises on one side, so you will end up doing 7 rounds per side. First exercise is max effort, second exercise is recovery. This is how the workout out will go:
  • Two Way Jump-Up – Right Leg
  • Twisted Side Lunge – Right Leg
  • Two Way Jump-Up – Left Leg
  • Twisted Side Lunge – Left Leg

Part 2
Set your timer for 2 intervals of 35 seconds each, for the total of 7 rounds. Or one interval of 35 seconds and 14 rounds.
There is two exercises and absolutely no break, so push at your max. I had 35 lbs in my sandbag. ( you can also use a kettlebell, dumbbell, or your own bodyweight, or you can also substitute the second exercise for a Bridge ).
You will go through both exercises for the total of 7 rounds.
  • Three Pulses Squat & Two Side Bends
  • Sandbag Swing

Part 3
Set your timer as a stopwatch. Complete 50 reps of the following combo:
  • Three Jump Lunges & Kick Up & Side Lunge Kick-Up ( that whole thing counts as one rep )

My time was 12:08 min
