First of all, I apologize for not posting workouts over the weekend. I went to Big Cedar Lodge with my family to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. I really expected to have internet service in order to post workouts--but it was spotty if at all and impossible to do. Whenever this happens (and I cannot promise that it won't!!!), just look back at past workouts and choose one--they go back for over a year--can you believe it?
For time:
25 dumbbell thrusters (10 to 15 lb dumbbells)
25 box jumps
25 push ups
25 burpees
25 double unders (if you can't do double unders, do 100 regular jumps or 100 jumping jacks)

It is a beautiful day today! Get out and enjoy it. This will give you 2 miles of running (or about that) and a little bit extra work.

Workout for Tuesday, May 25
Testing:
See if you can do the following exercises, consecutively, no resting between reps. If you don't get to the goal, record how far you get and we'll work on it again in a couple of months. Rest as needed between each exercise.
Push ups--30 (From the toes, strict, chest to the floor. Be honest. If you can only do 2 or 3 really good, strict push ups from the toes…just know that this is better than the majority of people out there!)
Squats--60 (good form, complete range of motion, which means hips below or at parallel at the bottom, and completely opened up at the top)
Sit ups--50 (our standard for these will be touching the floor behind the head with your fingertips, and touching the floor at your feet at the top--complete range of motion.)

Workout for Tuesday, May 18
Perform the following on the minute, each minute for 15 minutes:
5--DB Thrusters
5--Burpees
These will be plenty hard with just body weight thrusters if you don't have any dumbbells. The goal is to finish the "work" during the first 30-35 seconds, resting the last half of the minute. I did this at the gym with 15# DBs and it was really tough, especially since my body was pretty sore from the previous 2 days of working out. If you choose to use no weight, be sure to "mimic" the movement your hands/arms would make during the thrusters.

Run or walk one mile for time
If you can't run a mile straight yet, run as much as you can. Or, you could try intervals--run for 1 minute, walk for 1 minute or run for 2 minutes, walk for 1 minute. I've known people who have trained for marathons using this method…it really works to build up your endurance.
If the weather doesn't cooperate and you don't have access to a treadmill, try this...

100 jumping jacks
25 dumbbell thrusters (10-15 lbs, if possible)

Tabata Sit ups
Tabata V-ups
A real ab-blaster today! Remember, a Tabata is 20 seconds "work", 10 seconds "rest" for 4 minutes (8 total intervals). This time, count TOTAL reps for sit ups, and TOTAL reps for V-ups. (Usually we count the reps in each interval and then the score is the lowest number. This time we are going for total reps.)
