As you know from a couple days ago, I am taking on the BodyRock.tv Challenge. You may be wondering what the hell is wrong with me and why must I become involved in multiple challenges (6-week Challenge, Gold's Gym Challenge and the BodyRock Challenge). I am just way too competitive for my own good. If you ask my sister and anyone I ever played softball with they would tell you that if we lost a game I would either speed off in my Chevy Beretta, punch the crap out of a fence, or run!
I love competition for a few reasons: I want to be the best and it keeps me motivated. I went to the gym today to do Day 3 but the BodyRock website was down, so I did my own thing that I'll post below as well.
BodyRock Day 2:
12 rounds with interval timer set to :50 work and :10 rest.
10 high-knees then 10 mountain climbers
2 squat-jumps then 2 push-ups and 1 tuck jump
Center to elbow jumps (Think plank and you jump your feet in toward each elbow)
Clean and press, squat and press, push-up
Tuck jump, 5 burpees, squat and hold
Spider knee push-up, push-up
Lunge and press
Side lunge, side punch, tuck jump
10 squats then 10 squat jumps
10 elbows to knees each side (Hop while you do it)
Wide leg jump and push-up
Run in place
This workout will kick your butt literally. I feel like my butt cheeks have not been this sore in awhile. Plus random things happen while you do this workout. Big muscular guys come ask you how to do burpees like you are some sort of plyometric champion. Secretly, I hate plyometrics. I think it goes back to my soccer days.
Following this workout I moved on to do my circuit training of biceps, chest and back doing high-reps. Then 20 minutes of arc-trainer.
Today's Workout:
Today I decided to do some Tabata intervals. Tabata intervals are the exercise that suck the life out of you, and if you do them while running on a treadmill you may end up being that girl who falls on a treadmill and gets flung onto the floor. That didn't happen to me, but it was close to happening.
Set an interval timer to :30 work :10 rest.
I used a treadmill my work speed was 7.5 and then for the :10 rest I just jumped off onto the sides of the treadmill because there wasn't enough time to change the speed. Then I did 16 sets.
Follow this up with my circuit training focusing on triceps, delts and abs. Then I did 25 minutes on the arc-trainer and 5 minutes on the bike.
