Friday’s Intense Challenge – November 6th, 2009
It’s so nice to have the workout done for today. I do my workouts before I start my day which I think is the best time. In the morning you are fresh and physical exercise can give you even more energy for the rest of your day. It really makes so much difference for you mood. When we lived in Canada I used to workout in the evenings and I had to push myself twice as hard, because who wants to torture the body after a whole day at work, or at school right? I was so cranky sometimes before my workouts, because all I wanted was to sit down and relax, watch a movie or read my book. It doesn’t really matter what time of the day you do your workout, but if your are already tired when you come home from work, then it will have some impact on your performance.
Today’s workout is made up of 3 exercises that you can see in the pictures below and in the video above. I did 25 Leg Elevated Lunges on each leg, 12 Side Jumps with One Leg Push Ups and 25 reps of the Butt Lift – Toe Touch exercise. My goal was to complete 4 rounds as fast as possible. If you want to see how I did, check out the video ;)
Someone has asked me, when do I repeat the workouts and try to beat my old personal records. That’s a good question. I would like to do as many new workouts as possible to have lots of variations and then I will go back to the old routines and try to beat my old personal records. I am not sure when exactly I will do that, but I will keep you posted as usual. In the meantime, if you are eager to beat your own PR’s – go for it. You can catch up with me later.
Have a great workout guys,
Zuzana.
Leg Elevated Lunges

Put one foot up on a chair behind you. You can either place the top or the ball of your foot on the chair. I personally prefer to pull the ball of my foot up as you can see on the video and in the pictures.

Squat down into a lunge making sure that your knee doesn’t go over your toes. Complete 25 reps and then switch legs.
Side Jump with One Leg Push Up

Start by standing tall with a lots of space to your side. Jump sideways as if you were jumping over a big puddle. For a better understanding of the jump watch the video above.

Squat down and place both hands on the ground in front of you.

Jump with your feet back into a plank. Your whole body is rigid and your hands are directly underneath your shoulders.

Cross your feet and complete one push up. Then jump your feet forward into a squat. Stand up and jump over to the side to repeat the whole exercise. Do 12 reps of Side Jumps and One Leg Push Ups.
Butt Lift – Toe Touch Exercise

Lay on your back and bring your feet up pointing towards the sky. Engage your abs and lift your hips just a few inches off of the mat .

Bring your hips down and now lift your upper back and try touch your toes. This counts as 1 rep. Do 25 reps.
