Sexy Chick Workout
Hi Guys,
Today is the third day in a row that I did a workout. I am trying to push more now, because I feel pressure with the summer coming up so fast. I am not stressed out about it or anything, I just think that it’s fun to look at the workouts and my eating habits as if it were a game. It is not really different from any other game. There are rules that you should follow, and you can’t win by cheating. I am at the 10 day mark of my 30 day challenge already so I have to be strong for the next 20 days – easy :)
I thought that you might like some extra tips for weight loss and I have one that is quite interesting. Did you know that the outside environment can influence our metabolism? If you are exposed to a colder climate, your body increases it’s metabolic rate. So I guess that my mom’s overheated flat is not the best environment to live in if your goal is to lose some extra pounds :)
Todays workout is short but brutal. You will start with 5 reps of the one leg squat for each leg, then you will do 5 slow reps of pull ups, and at the end you will do 4 minutes of high intensity interval cardio with the jump rope. Set your timer for 8 rounds of a 10 second rest interval and 20 seconds maximum effort. Repeat the whole routine twice. I am using my Gymboss Interval Timer to keep track of the intervals and rounds. You can check out the timer here. I am also using my Pull Up Bar and Jump Rope from Ultimate Body Press which you can check out here. For the one leg squat I am using my 8kg Bozenka (kettlebell).
See the pictures and descriptions for the workout below.
Enjoy,
Zuzana.
One Leg Squat. I did the one leg squat only on the way up. This was my first time doing this exercise with a kettlebell so going down on one leg would have been too challenging. It is important to work your way forward slowly. If this exercise is still challenging for you with just your own bodyweight, then don’t rush to add weight. Check the end of the video for my tips on how to do this exercise if you are a complete beginner.
Squat down holding the kettlebell with both hands in front of you. Push your hips back, keep your back straight, weight on your heels and your shin bones vertical to the ground. Your toes are pointing slightly outwards and your knees are tracking your toes. When you are in the squat, extend one leg in front of you keeping it off of the ground. You have to tense all of the muscles in the thigh and butt before you lift up. This exercise requires intense focus so don’t rush it. Make sure that your muscles are contracted and then push off of your foot and drive up pushing your hips forward at the top. If you are leaning towards one side, it means that you are not contracting the muscles in your leg enough.
Do 5 reps on each leg and then move on to the Pull Ups.
Pull Ups. Do close grip pull ups as shown in the picture. Start from a dead hang with your arms fully extended. Pull yourself slowly up and hold for a second or two at the top. Lower yourself slowly down back into the dead hang. If you need help with pull ups, you can use a chair to support some of your weight. Do 5 pull ups and then move on to the cardio exercise.
High Intensity Interval Cardio. Set your timer for 8 rounds and two intervals. The first interval will be the 10 second rest interval and the second will be the 20 second work interval. Try to push at your max effort during each 20 second interval. Only you know what your max is – don’t slack it.
Repeat the whole sequence (starting with one leg squats) one more time and you are done. The video shows me doing part of the second round of this workout.
This song inspired my workout today. Enjoy!
