Yesterday’s workout was one of those where my cardio intervals FLEW by, and lifting was a blast. That doesn’t always happen, but it was one of those good days. One of the days I remembered one of the reasons I LOVE what I do so much. My workout went as follows: Exercise Details:
- Single leg burpees: Start from standing on your right foot. Place both arms on the ground, jump your right foot back out to a plank position, and then back in. Stand up and jump up. Never place that left food down. Do 10 in a row. Switch sides.
- Up and over lunges: Find a high bench. Hold one single dumbbell in both hands. Stand next to the bench and place your right foot on top of it. Step up and over landing on the other side of the bench with your left leg, keeping your right leg in place. Step back up and over to the other side. (Each side counts as one rep.)
- Plank jacks: Get into a plank on your elbows. Jump your feet out as wide as you can, and then back to center. That counts as one rep.
- Weighted jumping jacks: Hold both of your dumbbells at your shoulders. Jump your feet out into a jumping jack while pressing your db’s over head. Jump back in to your starting position and bring your arms down to your shoulders again. Repeat this 15 times, keeping your core VERY tight.
This circuit had me sweating! I hope it does the same for you. Remember, if these reps/weight recommendations aren’t pushing you, you are ALWAYS welcome to up that weight! Don’t be afraid to push yourself! Happy Friday y’all! xoxoxo
