Workout for Friday, February 13

Just a reminder that we WILL be having our 12:30-1:30 class on Monday even though school is out that day. We will have babysitting available.

13 x 13 on the 13th


For time:

13 squats
13 good mornings
13 sit ups
13 push ups
13 jumping jacks
13 squats
13 good mornings
13 sit ups
13 push ups
13 jumping jacks
13 squats
13 good mornings
13 sit ups

I have posted a demonstration video of how to do a good morning to the right. Do this with no weight and with your hands clasped behind your neck (elbows out). Do the push ups from toes if possible, or from the knees, counter top or wall.

Good Luck!

    I like this workout! Really fast paced. I did first few pushups from toes, rest from knees. My video of the good mornings didn't work - it wasn't in the center of the screen, so I only saw his elbow and part of his body. I think I figured out what he was doing. This really got my heart going, plus good sit-ups. My two areas!!

    Sorry about the good mornings video! I'll check it again and see if I did something wrong.

    3:58 with push ups from toes

    I'm out of breath-but it was nice, fast way to get quite a lot of work in.

    I'm a goofball and didn't keep my time. I'll do it again this afternoon and check time. It will do me good!

    That was great - quick. I could feel my squats hurting after not doing them yesterday. I would like to have a better timer system, so a may do it again with Greg hear or someone to watch the clock for me so I can really concentrate on just the work out not the second hand.

    Push ups on toes - 3:50

    OK, I was slow, but I did well! :) And, this was the first time I didn't use my arms/hands to help pull myself up on the sit-ups, that's an improvement!

    Push-ups on knees - 7:50

    The push ups are really tough for me . . . no upper body strength! The first set of push ups were done on my knees and second set was counter high.

    Push-ups on knees/counter - 6:52

    Robbi--surprising that this would be cardio, huh? Glad you liked it!
    Julie--you are quite the energizer bunny!
    Molly--great progress on the sit ups!
    Trish--we'll get you there on the upper body strength--I have some ideas. Don't be scared!

    Was in Tulsa yesterday, so did my 13 workout today and forgot to time. Will do again later today. I am also having trouble with push ups and my hip flexors are very sore. Tried to do lunges inside and will have to find a better option.

    The 13X13 workout is perfect to do on the road. David and I did it together in Key Largo. It was a new baseline for me - first time to do a workout with push ups from the toes (after 11 months!) I can't do 13 real push ups without stopping yet. I'm glad Laura is including push ups in our warm up - should get stronger on these faster. My time: 5:42
