We’re working on pull ups today. The pull up bar is out!! It’s been awhile since I have done any pull ups and so this one is a tough one for me. But I am on it! Pull ups are great for upper body strength and for developing your lats, the upper-side back muscles that give you a great shape! Also it gives you a sense of power to be able to lift yourself up, and it’s a great survival skill if you ever find yourself dangling off a building or cliff. || Read more
This workout is a designed with clean lines and elegant styling. ; ) It is made up of 2 parts, both are 4 minutes of interval training and both have 2 exercises which you alternate doing for each round. I used my sandbag for one of the exercises in each round, if you don’t have a sandbag you can use a dumbbell, kettle bell, medicine ball or another weighted object instead.
Doing different reps of exercises in interesting combinations make a workout go by fast. Your mind is kept so busy thinking of what to do next and you can easily lose track of time so that before you know it, you are done. This workout took me almost 22 minutes to complete. It is made up of 2 parts. The burpee part – 4 reps of each of 3 different types of burpees – is done 3 times: before, in between, and after the interval parts. Lots of core and ab exercises in this one! || Read more
I’ll admit it – For an 8 to 9 minute workout, this is brutal. It’s made up of 2 parts. The first is just over 5 minutes of interval training. The second is a fun but killer combo that you repeat until you drop or the 3 minutes is up, whichever comes first. I got 4 rounds and was really feeling it at the end. || Read more
This workout is a time challenge and is made up of reps of 7 different exercises sandwiched between a set of burpees before and after. I really loved the flow but found a couple exercises challenging as I haven’t done them in awhile – the reptile push ups and especially the one leg burpees. I will be working on those for sure!! || Read more
This Radiant Workout is a real arm killer but it will help sculpt and give you beautiful arms! It is made up of 2 parts and both are tabata intervals. The first is alternating doing diagonal woodchops from left to right and the 2nd are 2 exercises on the dip station – oblique knee raises – to give you gorgeous abs to go with those arms!, and reverse push ups, which mostly target your lats and also give you a great shape! All that in only 8 minutes!! || Read more
This workout took me close to 15 minutes. I am just starting to get a more accurate time with all the distractions of filming the workout. It’s a new and different thing to get used to and I am learning lots by doing this and enjoying the process.
The workout moves through 10 exercises, 9 actually (one is done on both sides) and there are 20 reps of each. Many of the exercises are using dumbbells and the weights I used for these are posted below. || Read more
