Fitness for today……
Morning ST Circuit – Time – 21:17 mins – Aiming for under 20 mins next time….
1. Push ups – 200 reps – ALL military alternating – standard, medicine ball, close grip and staggared hands.
2. Sumo squat to overhead press with one 20 lb DB – 100 reps
3. MB Diagonal chop with squat using a 10 lb MB – 100 reps
4. MB Horizontal chop with squat using a 10 lb MB – 100 reps
5. Pull ups – unassisted. No chair, nothing. 4.5 reps….really I should count it as 5 reps but the last one was really not all the way so I am counting it as 4.5 – I did 2 the first set and then 2.5 the second set. I really need to dedicate myself to doing this more. SO VERY hard. Next time I will use a chair or something to help me up so I can do more reps and get stronger.
I was shaking after this workout. I LOVED how fast and effective it was. I was sweating like crazy and my HR was very high, even more so then when I run!! So I love the cardio that was involved in this short but awesome circuit. It is definitely the Mommy of a 2 year old circuit 🙂 Fast and it does the job!!!! When you stay at home with a toddler you do not have all day to workout……you have more important things to do 🙂 So I love getting it done early and feeling the burn all day from my hard work!
