Harder Than Ever Workout

Hi BodyRockers,

The second workout from hell for this week is only 12 minutes long, but I am pretty sure that  you are going to curse me anyway :) This workout is cool for a number of reasons. First it is short, so you can really focus your efforts down and challenge yourself to break through your comfort zone and achieve a new max effort bench mark for yourself. Also, we are moving through so many exercises that there is no chance of feeling bored or stuck in one place for very long. I personally love this because everything just seems to fly by at a super fast pace. It’s an amazing feeling to realize that you have had a super intense full body workout that has left you sweaty and wiped out and boom it was over almost before you realized it. Just make sure that you guys go into each exercise intent on giving everything you have to the exercise that is in front of you. I keep coming back to this but I want you guys to really fix it in your minds that you are getting into the best shape of your life with each workout that you complete – day after day. As a group we are accomplishing a shift in our health that is global in scale :) It’s something each one of us can feel good about.

Have a great day!

Instructions:

For this workout you will need your Interval Timer as always, Pull Up Bar for chin ups, Dip Station for tricep dips, and your exercise mat. Set your timer for 12 rounds of two intervals. The first interval will be set for 10 seconds and the second one for 50 seconds. Your goal is to push as hard as you can during each 50 second interval to complete as many reps as possible for each exercise. The 10 seconds in between is just enough to write your reps down.

Skipping:

It is slowly becoming a habit that we are doing additional 20 minutes of interval skipping in a moderate pace right after each workout, so I just wanted to remind you of that ;) Set your timer for 48 rounds and two intervals of 10 and 15 seconds. You will complete 48 rounds of 15 seconds of skipping and 10 second of rest. Try to change the style of your skipping for each interval. One more thing, if you don’t have a jump rope yet, then do high knees, jumping jacks, scissors, or something similar to get your heart rate up and your legs working.

My scores for this workout:

Chin Up – 5 regular and 7 chair assisted

Prisoner Jump Squats – 40 reps

Mountain Climbers – 84 reps (each jump counts as 1)

Clapping Push Up – 22 reps

Jump Lunge – 29 reps

Bicycle – 68 reps (each knee to elbow counts as 1)

dips – 16 leg assisted

Forward & Backward Lunge Jump Up (left) – 20 reps

Forward & Backward Lunge Jump Up (right) – 19 reps

Side Crunch (left) – 20 reps

Side Crunch (right) – 20 reps

Burpees – 13 reps

    I’m SO happy – I just got my Dip Station today and will be ready for this routine in few minutes. :) I remember, we did this workout before back in May 2010 (Keep it Hard for 12 minutes) with Shawn, where’s him now?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Maria-Lanier/100000216811315 Maria Lanier

    Is that really evil? You can do it!!! Let’s see our score later… Hehehehehehe!! :) …I know that’s hard. :P

    I just finished this one. Here’s my score:

    10 – clapping push up on knees

    My scores are better and much more in proper form today than the last time I did this but still, I can’t compare it with Zuzie’s. Well, before I do this workout, I was almost sleepy and want to sleep but at the back of my head, I still wanna to do it. I made a coffee and drunk it. Play my disco musics and there you go, I was able to finish the whole sets plus 20 minutes of skipping (925 reps). That’s what I call BodyRock Power!!!! No matter what!!! :) Am I addicted here? :P

    Thanks again, Z&F!!! :)

  • Tereza_CZ

    This was over really fast…
    Assisted Chin Up: 15
    Prisoner Jump Squat: 24
    Mountain Climbers: 57
    Clapping Push Up & Fall On My Mouth: 9
    Jump Lunges: 32
    Bicycle: 45
    Chair Dips: 23
    F&B Lunge Jump Up L: 13, R: 10
    Side Crunch L: 26, R: 27
    Burpees: 12
    + skipping.
    By the way, do you know any stretching moves for the inner area between calves and ankles, Zuzana and Freddy? This part of my body is so stiff and sore from the skipping that in the morning I have problems to go down the stairs, it also makes one-leg skipping extremely uncomfortable, and of course I feel it even with using other styles. I can stand some pain but I really don’t want to get injured.

    Thanks for a great workout!

    you may notice i did this w/o 3 times… massacistic? yes, but i am getting slightly sore tendons from the skipping, so for lack of anything better to do for 20mins to keep my heart rate up i just keep going after the first round :) does anyone else have this problem?

    Prisoner Jump Squats – 26, 20, 21

    conclusion – there is allways one more rep in there somewhere :D

    Don’t ever feel ashamed – you got up and did it when so many people just settled back to watch tv. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder and keep going.

    13 – Chin ups, not assisted
    23 – prisoner jump squat
    56 – mountain climber
    18 – clapping push ups
    22 – jump lunges
    48 – bicycle
    14 – dips (not touching ground)
    9 – forward/backward lunges jump up, left
    – had to stop –

    i couldent do any more .. i felt really sick and was close to throwing up .. had to go to the bathroom at the gym and sit there for like 10 minutes takeing deep breaths and trying not to throw up ..

    This seems to be my biggest problem with the workouts … its not that i find them too hard on the muscles .. (they are hard yes but not too hard) .. but i cant catch my breath and i start feeling really sick ..

    i guess its cuz im used to weight lifting .. but never been much a fan of running or cardio in genereal ..

    so any good advice to someone like me ? ..

    my calves hurt a little from jumping so much. I just do some deep calf stretches and roll them out with a tennis ball. They usually feel a lot better. Make sure to stretch the rest of your body, too!

  • Bree

    This workout looks so awesome! I’d try it out, but I’m still brutally sore from the Cherry Cherry Boom Boom workout the other day (my traps feel like they’re going to pop off any minute haha :P…and I’m hobbling around because of my hip flexors because of all those mountain climbers :P).
    I’m going to try to get in some jumping rope though!
    It’s awesome…I had decided that I needed to add in 20 minutes of jumping rope every day and then the next day you posted about how you’re adding that in to your routine…I was like “awesoooome” haha.

    Who else is super sore from the Cherry Cherry Boom Boom workout? What do you guys do to keep from getting sooo sore?

  • Mary Lou

    Great workout Zuzana! I think just one run through on an exercise makes you push the hardest, you know you have only one try, or maybe that’s just me.
    chin ups w/ chair 7
    prisoner jump squat 21
    mtn climbers 80
    clapping push up 10 really HARD!
    jump lunge 29
    bicycle 67
    dips chair version 18
    f&b lunge jump left 20
    f&b lunge jump right 20
    side crunch left 24
    side crunch right 22

  • abby

    I have to admit, the skipping is so boring! I decided to repeat this workout 3 times for an equivalent (about time) – 36 minutes. KILLER!

  • Anonymous

    Hi you two! Hi everybody(rocker)!

    Sweating incredibly, still, sitting at the computer… drinking my water, waiting for my oatmeal to be ready (miam!!)
    10 chin-ups (1 proper form, 9 assisted)
    23 prisoner squats
    103 mountain climbers
    12 clapping push-ups (that was so difficult for me!)
    23 jump lunges
    55 bicycles
    16 dips (on a chair)
    19 (left) – 15 (right) forward and backward lunge
    21 (l) – 20 (r) side crunch
    9 burpees

    Thank you, we’re all going to be really fit this summer!! Can’t wait to put on a new bikini and play in the sun…..

  • Juanita

    This is one of our favorite workouts of yours, and I’ve gone back to it several times since it was first posted. I compared today’s scores with the last time I did it and I was so happy! Major improvements everywhere (except for the chin-ups)

    So my scores for today are:
    Chin Up – 12 assisted
    Prisoner Jump Squats – 36
    Mountain Climbers – 77
    Clapping Push Ups – 20
    Jump Lunges– 45
    Bicycle – 80
    Dips – 15
    Forward & Backward Lunge Jump Up (left) – 13
    Forward & Backward Lunge Jump Up (right) – 12
    Side Crunch (left) – 30
    Side Crunch (right) – 30
    Burpees – 11

    Then today I only did 10 minutes of jump rope skipping, my knees are hurting pretty badly. I wonder if it has anything to do with all that jump rope skipping I’ve been doing lately….Anyone else been experiencing this lately?

  • AudraFit

    It’s a good thing I did this on an empty stomach cuz it was another nauseating workout Z! I did this original workout back on May,25th and must say that I have plateaued on this one :)
    Chinups: 11
    PrisJS: 34
    MC: 81
    ClapPUp: 21
    JumpLunge: 28
    Bicycle: 66
    ChairDips: 20 (hands on one chair & feet on another as I don’t own a dip station)
    SwingLungeJump(L): 18
    SLJ(R): 16
    SideCruch(L): 25
    SC(R): 25
    Burpees: 13

    I have a tip that I used to use to help me get my pullups instead of using a chair because I found that I used my legs way too much. I have these rubber workout bands that I used to tie/wrap around the pullup bar and made all kinds of knots to secure it. Then I used the hand grips to put my foot through it and it assisted my pullups and as I got stronger each time I would loosen a knot. Hope this helps some of my fellow Bodyrocker’s out there struggling with pullups :)

  • AudraFit

    Hi Marie, this article was interesting yet, judgemental to say the least. I’ve got your back Zuzana & Freddy!

  • http://twitter.com/FlaviaRequim Flavia Requim

    Liked the tennis ball idea, my calves hurts a lot too…

  • AudraFit

    Since we’ve been skipping on a daily basis I noticed that I have rope marks on the backs of my arms lately haha! I thought I’d share that. I wonder what people think when they see that? Oh the pain that us Bodyrocker’s endure.

  • Heidi

    Can’t wait to try this tomorrow! I have been off schedule since starting Dec 22 and hurting my wrist … Jan 1 (can’t do side burpees quite yet :), but it’s getting better, i.e. I could do the moutain climbers last night). I LOVE the clapping pushups on the knees. Starting next week, I am just going to stop trying to catch up with the past workouts and just do what Zuzana posts. But for today, since I can’t do those side burpees, I’ll do 50 hanging knee raises since I haven’t done that yet, and repeat the 300 Jump Lunges and see if I can improve my time. But tomorrow … Never Harder!

    Thank you Z & F for making my “workout time” one of my favorite times of the day!!!!

    Thanks a lot!!!! =)
    I know how hard it is to workout when I´m completelly exausted! That happened this day and I didn´t like my resoults…. but it´s a big motivation to have so many people like you to push each other!! I´m sure you´ll have a great workout! Post your results too!! =)

  • coleyjo

    Couple days behind, but glad I did it! I love this workout and it really did fly by. Made me want to do it twice in a row, but kids where calling. My scores:
    chin ups assisted – 9 (actually I don’t have a pull up bar so I use my husbands rock climbing hold “bar”. I’m not able to have my palms facing me with that, but right now its the best I can do.)
    Pris.jump squats – 20
    MC – 114 (after seeing everyone else’s scores I’m wondering if I was doing them right, did them as sprints.)
    Clap pushup – 14
    JL – 30
    Bicycle – 43
    dips – 15 (don’t have my dip station yet so used a chair.)
    F&B lunge left – 17
    F&B lunge right – 19
    SC left – 18
    SC right – 19
    Burpees – 9

    Personal note: I started the Bodyrock workouts Aug. – Sep. last year so have been doing them about 4-5 months. Actually started doing them because I hurt my knee training for a marathon. I was running 5 – 12 miles depending on the day when I started bodyrock and I thought I was in shape! Ha! now I know better. Thank you Zu and Freddy for making this fun, new, and real! I have three kids and thought there were areas of my body that just wouldn’t ever be in shape again. Thank you for showing me differently! The stretch marks may be here to stay, but I can feel the muscle underneath! Maybe someday I’ll be brave enough to send pictures.

    dancing crab: (instead of chin ups): thursday: 49 / today: 52

    Hi guys,

    I did this workout last night. I had to make a few modifications because I can’t-yet- do chin-ups and my wrist is still tender.

    My scores:

    Reverse Pushup: (subbed for Chin-Up): 22
    Prisoner Jump Squats: 28
    Mountain Climbers: 44
    Clapping Pushup: 15
    Jump Lunge: 23
    Bicycle: 45
    Oh, I also subbed tricep dips on a bench: 19
    Side Crunch Left: 18
    Side Crunch Right: 21
    Burpees (had to do them without the pushup): 10

    Then I jumped for 40 10:20 intervals.

    I was really sweaty at the end. I have to say I love the clapping pushups on the knees. I never thought to try them that way. I definitely hope to see more of them :)

    Thanks for another great workout!!!

    I really enjoyed this workout. My scores are not as high as I think they could be… I have very little energy today, so I’m hoping next time they’ll be better. My arms are shaking though, so that’s good!

    Chin-Up (chair assisted): 15
    Prisoner Jump Squat: 21
    Mountain Climbers: ? Forgot to count
    Clapping Push-Ups (on knees): 13, these are fun, but really hard!
    Jump Lunge: 25
    Bicycles: 42
    Dips (using chair, knees bent, feet on ground): 11
    F/B Lunge Jump Left: 16
    F/B Lunge Jump Right: 15
    Side Crunch Left: 15
    Side Crunch Right: 16
    Half-Burpees (no push-up): 10

    I was really getting tired at the end; I have a tendency to slow down towards the last few exercises, cause I think “Oh, it’s almost over!” It’s a bad habit and I need to get out of it. :P I’m still exhausted though and shaking!

    Thanks guys!

    In the sprints you are touching down with just one foot at a time. The forward foot is up off of the ground. The regular climbers have you jumping both feet up and then down together as you switch.

    I have such a busy day ahead of me today and this short and intense workout was just perfect. I could squeeze it in this morning and now I can get on with my day! I didn’t have time for the skipping but I am just about wiped out anyways! Thanks SO MUCH Zuzana and Freddy for making working out so ‘easy’ (as in time-wise, not intensity-wise! lol) and accessible! Its just freaking amazing!

    Here my new and old (Jan 13th 2011) scores:
    (Chin Ups) no bar so did reverse push ups under my table: 19 (17)
    Prisoner Jump Squats 35 (25 – but I did them wrong last time. I jumped feet in and out in between each squat. Got it right this time :) )
    Mtn Climbers 78 (67)
    Clapping p/u knees 22 (17)
    Jump Lunge 29 (21)
    Bicycle 58 or 68, I got confused counting! (50)
    Dips off chair: 19 (16)
    Lunge jump up left 20 (16)
    Lunge jump up right 18 (16)
    side crunch left 20 (16)
    side crunch right 18 (16)
    Burpees 10 (8)

    It has been so great to see my improvements while we have been re-visiting older workouts. So motivating! I really do feel stronger and more toned and it is all thanks to you, Freddy and Zuzana, and the amazing community of BodyRockers inspiring me everyday to work as hard as I can and to never give up! I don’t know what I would do without you and these incredible, super intense workouts :D THANK YOU!!!

    I’m soooo tired, maybe I shouldn’t have started this week with the 400-rep workout. I can feel how my performance is getting worse every day. But I did push through and although I didn’t aim to and haven’t beaten all my PBs for this workout (in fact, I was quite surprised that I could do ANY lunges at all), some of my exercises were much better than last time. Here are my scores: new and (old):
    Chin ups: 10 (13)
    Pris jump: 33 (27)
    M climber: 91 (62)
    Clap pus: 15 (18)
    Lunges: 22 (20)
    Bicycles: 71 (60)
    Dips: 10 (20 – didn’t have the frame yet, can’t remember what I did here)
    FwBw l L: 20 (skipped)
    FwBw l R: 20 (skipped)
    Side crunch L: 23 (23)
    Side crunch R: 23 (24)
    Burpees: 9 (7)

    Spoooky, I just read your post after submitting mine and I’m shocked by the resemblance. I swear, I didn’t mean to copy you, Mary Lou. …nice scores, by the way.
    And RE: eating and exercise. I cannot work out on an empty stomach but feel nauseous if I eat before the exercise – so my solution to overcome this dilemma is to have just a small but nice and rich frothy cappuccino (with sugar and not sweetener) before my warm up.

  • Mary Lou

    Wow Ildiko, you’ve made progress too. It’s funny how some things get easier right off the bat but others seem to get harder. The chin ups are a bit more manageable than the pull ups, but not by much, and I’m still doing them all assisted. I will give it go with just some liquid ‘nourishment’ and see how it goes! It all comes down to whether or not I can square away everyone else before my stomach gets the better of me!
