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)
