Then--DB burpees

for 15 minutes we will do the following:

30 seconds DB burpees

Repeat for a total of 15 minutes, counting TOTAL number of reps.

To do a dumbbell burpee, you will hold a dumbbell in each hand (10-15 lbs each) hanging at side. Lower the DB to the floor and do the push up portion of the burpee. Bring your feet back in and jump slightly up. Dumbbells remain at your side, they do not go overhead as a normal burpee.

Dumbbell Push Press Ladder (doubled)

Use the heaviest dumbbells you typically would use to do about 8 pretty challenging reps of dumbbell push presses. On the first minute, do two DB push presses, second minute, do four, third minute do 6, and so on until you are unable to finish the push presses for that minute. Your score is the last minute you were able to complete the work.

Sugar Video

I am linking the first in a series of 9 videos on sugar, or more specifically, fructose for you to view. While this gets pretty scientific and technical, this pediatrician is easy to listen to and he has boiled down the evidence to somewhat easy to understand terms. I think you will agree with him in the end. The other 8 parts can be found with this link at the end. I don't think you will have trouble viewing them all. This will take 90 minutes. I watched them one or two at a time. Take the time. I think you will be glad you did.

Push Ups--with penalty

Choose a challenging number of push ups--either 100, 150, or 200 and a challenging but not impossible style of push ups (toe, knee, or countertop.)

Complete as many as you can in a row. You can stop at the TOP of the push up to rest, but if you have to rest on the ground you must pay the penalty. The penalty is your choice of 25 sit ups or 50 squats. So, your workout may look something like this:
