Workout for Thursday, April 8

I know this is later in the day, but if you want to try to get a workout in this evening...

Tabata V-Ups

Remember--a Tabata interval is 20 seconds "work" and 10 seconds rest for a total of 8 intervals (about 4 minutes) counting the number of V-ups you are able to do in each interval. Your "score" is the lowest number you can do in any one interval.

20 sit ups each minute for 10 minutes

Starting at the top of the minute, do 20 sit ups, rest until the top of the next minute. Then do 20 more sit ups. Do this for a total of 10 minutes, 200 sit ups.


Enjoy the beautiful spring weather! Do something active--

Walk the dog

Go up and down some stairs

While doing these things, try to do them a bit BETTER or FASTER than you normally would--bump up the intensity.

Workout for Friday, April 2

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. Your workout may look something like this:

100 push ups--

15 push ups
25 sit ups
10 push ups
25 sit ups
10 push ups
50 squats

and so on until you finish all of the 100 push ups.
