Rude Boy Workout
Hi guys,
So yesterday we were running around Prague getting some things for Freddy’s brother Sean. I went to the doctor and had my moles checked, because yesterday was European Melanoma Day and some clinics offered a free check up for anyone who showed up. I went to Esthe clinic in downtown Prague. I have a tip for anyone who wants to confuse people and cause a huge fight in a doctor’s office. Tell everyone who comes to the waiting room, that you are the last one in the line. I have no idea how that happened, but for some reason about 6 women thought that they came right after me so they fought for the spot in the line behind me. Apparently I told all of them that I was the last one, which I couldn’t remember doing. Besides this awkward situation, I was quite happy that I went there. It’s just nice to know that there is nothing wrong with you especially if you have some concerns.
After my doctor’s appointment we went to a shopping mall and Freddy got his 5 dollar haircut :) I think that she did a great job and now when I look at the video where you can see Freddy before, it really looks like he took a helmet off :) ha,ha.
Anyway, today we picked up Sean at the airport and took him out to eat and for a walk around downtown. You will get your first look at our little brother tomorrow :)
Today I have a great workout for you that was inspired by Rhianna’s Rude Boy song so I hope that you will give it a try. There are 3 parts and the entire workout takes only 17 minutes. You will need your Gymboss Interval Timer
and pull up bar.
Part 1 – 6 minutes of interval training
Set your Interval Timer for 6 rounds and two intervals of 10 seconds and 50 seconds. The 10 second interval is the rest interval and your goal is to do as many reps as you can during the 50 second interval. You will be doing a Backward Lunge Kick Up and you will switch legs for each round (see pictures of this exercise below). My reps ranged between 18 to 20 reps per round. Try to be faster than me.
Part 2 – 5 minute time challenge
Set your timer for a 5 minute count down. You will be doing 1 pull up and 1 push up back and forth. Your goal is to do as many reps as possible. I completed 23 pull ups and 22 push ups. Try to beat my score but watch your form!
Part 3 – Repeat Part 1 of this workout
Sounds easy? Give it a try and when your body stops shaking, leave me a comment :)
Best,
Zuzana.
Backward Lunge Kick Up. Start by standing with your feet hip width apart and lunge back until your back knee slightly touches the ground. Rise up, extend your arm in front of you and try to kick your back leg as high as you can to reach your hand. If you can’t kick your leg that high, than just do your best. Do as many reps as you can during 50 seconds. Switch the legs after each round (1 minute).
Pull Ups – Grab your pull up bar with a close grip and hang down with your arms fully extended before you pull yourself up. Your chin has to reach over the pull up bar if you want to count it as a rep. Use the muscles in your upper back and armpits. It really helps if you tense all of the muscles in your body. Do one rep and get immediately into the Push Up position.
Push Up – Get into plank, tense all of your muscles in your body and bend your elbows to lower yourself down. Your body has to move as one unit so don’t push your hips up, arch your back, or drop your hips down. From this bottom position press up using the strength of your upper body. This is a functional exercise so the muscles of your upper body are working as a team. The best thing you can do is to consciously tensing all of them. Do one rep and then get up and get immediately ready for another pull up.
If you don’t have the strength for standard push ups, you can do them from your knees – in this case, use an exercise mat.
Here is the song from Rihanna – it’s one of my favorite now.
