Marine Corps. Workout

Posted by Zuzana - BodyRock.Tv | In All Videos, All Workouts, Featured Articles, Today's Workout

Hi BodyRockers,

Today’s workout is a super brutal and extra killer and to be honest, it’s one of those workouts where you walk into it and crawl out on your hands and knees if you are lucky. Great pep talk eh? I’m sure you guys are going to love it :)
Seriously tho it’s an amazing burn, and it will leave you soaked in sweat and feeling more alive then when you started (if you survive haha) :)

This workout is dedicated to Sgt. Steve and his Marines. You can check out his featured BodyRocker profile here. When you have a group of world class bad asses using your workouts to get in fighting shape you better mean business. I hope you guys
enjoy this one.

Freddy and I just wanted to say thanks for all the ideas and suggestions that you guys have been sharing about the proposed BodyRockers get together and the idea of putting profiles on the site. We have gotten some great ideas from all of your comments, so please keep them coming.

Enjoy your workout and let me know how you guys did. I made sure to post my times and scores for this one below so that we could get a little friendly competition going here :)

Best,
Zuzana & Freddy

Instructions:

This workout has 3 parts and it will be at least 20 minutes long. It depends how fast you can be with the time challenge. I completed this routine in 26 minutes and 2 seconds.

The first part is 4 minute long interval training. Set your timer for 8 rounds and two intervals – 10 seconds and 20 seconds. You will be doing Sandbag Squats and Plank Jump Push Ups. It will look like this:

10 seconds of rest – beep!

Sandbag Squat (sandbag on your right shoulder) and go for maximum reps during the 20 seconds – beep!

10 seconds of rest – beep!

Plank Jump Push Up – beep!

10 seconds of rest – beep!

Sandbag Squat (sandbag on your left shoudler) go for max. reps during the 20 second interval – beep!

Plank Jump Push Up – beep!

Repeat the whole thing one more time – beep! – done.

The second part is a time challenge and you will be doing 10 Pendulums – Roll Over – 1 Walking Push Up – 10 Elbow Plank Jumps (side to side with your feet together) – Roll Over – 1 Walking Push Up – 10 Pendulums

This is one set.

Complete 5 sets as fast as you can. You will have to set your interval timer as a stop watch for this challenge.

The third Part is another 4 minutes of interval training. Set your timer exactly the way you set it for Part 1. You will be doing Sandbag Mini Squats and Super Girl Push Ups.

REPEAT ALL 3 PARTS ONE MORE TIME!

All of the exercises are explained in the instructional video above so check it out.

You are so right Julia! Eating right is key tobe able to do these kind of workouts otherwise our bodies just won’t be able to keep up with it!

Anyways I am so curious and afraid to try this workout too…. looks like I’ll have to swipe the floor clean after this… if I am going to sweat even half of how much I think I’ll be sweating!

  lol you are like me in the fact that I had to keep fixing my supergirl push-ups lol I would catch myself trying to put up the same arm as leg… had to fix it a few times lol. I actually have to concentrate to get them done right haha!! And congrats on the awesome workout :D!!
  - http://deeplytrulyelisa.blogspot.com/ deeplytrulyelisa
    
    hahahaha just like me! With every push up I have to be really focused otherwise…. bam! On the floor! Or I just freeze coz I don’t know what I’m supposed to be moving! It really is a show!
    Thanks Marie! :D

I was totally planning on doing this exercise this morning, (I usually run a day behind you on your workouts) but yesterday I did your legs on fire challenge… haha, my a** is so freakin’ sore!

It’s my own fault, I pushed myself hard yesterday! I DID ONE LEG SQUATS! I’ve been struggling with one leg squats, I had it in my mind that they were next too impossible to do for any normal human being, therefore making you some kind of superhero! And yesterday I had a break through! I did them! I ACTUALLY did them! The last 3 rounds tho I had assistance using a door jam, but I am really proud of myself! As for today’s workout… I think I’m taking an active rest day, for my poor bum’s sake… lol!

Thanks!

I will do this one first thing tomorrow morning- because it looks like a good one!

I know this has probably been asked a million times, but how much weight is in the sand bag? I’m only asking because I don’t have one but I’ll be at the gym and I want to use enough weight to kick my ass! Thanks guys!

  I think about 8-10 kg. We were putting in 1kg of rice at a time, but we have been adding and subtracting it so much that I can only guess at this point :)

Hi Stephanie – it would be really difficult to get an accurate measure on this – the calorie calculators at the gym on the machines are said to be really inaccurate, and I am assuming the same is true for the portable devices that people wear.

Ok folks… this is a sweat-er, but once you get into it it’s not nearly as frightening as it appears on paper! Brutus came to visit about 1 min. into the part 2. He was telling me all sorts of things like I didn’t have time for this today… too much to do, you slept in so now you have to rush everything… plus that cookie you had right before you worked out is making you feel like you should puke, so stop now. You can see the time difference between the 2 rounds after I kicked him right the HECK out! Here are my scores:

Part 1(with 20# sandbag):
10,10,10,10
6,6,5,5
9,10,10,8
6,6,5,5
Part 2: 5:07/ 3:24
Part 3 (20# sandbag):
20,20,21,25
5,4,5,4
22,22,25,25
6,4,4,6

My biggest challenge right now with getting where I want is sweets. I have 3 kids who are in school and I am baking for this school party, or taking Valentine’s treats to this neighbor who had a baby or whatever… and then what’s left over… I end up eating “to get it out of the house”… yah. That makes SO much sense, I know. Can I get a “like” to whomever this happens to also?!
- http://deeplytrulyelisa.blogspot.com/ deeplytrulyelisa
  
  Hahaha, nice for kicking brutus!
  
  As for the cookies stuff, I used to have this kind of problem… big time! What I do now is make healthy substitutions, like subbing applesauce for the butter and stuff like that. And I make sure I always have healthy but yummy treats in the house, you’ll be less tempted to eat the “bad stuff” if you have an alternative. If you make small substitutions and keep adding to that, your kids will start enjoying the healthy stuff too.
  
  As for when you have to bake for others, have a little so that you don’t feel deprived but the rest is best to get it out of the house…. litterally, give it away to friends and if you can’t give it all away freeze it in small portions so that you can have it once in a while without overdo it.
  
  Really hope this helps!

  Nice scores! I’m doing this one tonight…I’m looking forward to beating Brutus too!! And by the way, I hear you with those sweets– my husband asked for cookies last night….So far I’ve contained myself to two and am continually trying to re-convince myself that they’re not mine! and that I want to look great! this summer!!
  
  So hope you don’t mind, I liked your picture and clicked on it to see more, then I clicked I on your blog absentmindedly (sorry I normally don’t stalk people lol) but anyway, so I saw a pic of your apartment and guess what– I have the same one, we must be neighbors! I Great to now their’s another bodyrocker so close!

  Thank you Elisa, your words mean a great deal to me, especially because I don’t have any kind of support at home or from my friends. They’re just not interested in healthy lifesyle. That’s why I feel connected to you guys, and a bit more motivated every time I read your comments. :)

This looked pretty intimidating. I went for a 50 minute hill run as cardio warm up right before. I wasn’t sure I could make it through after that but I kicked Brutus out in the end My sandbag weighed in at 17.5 lbs.
squats: 9-7-8-8 // 9-7-12-10 felt slow
plank push ups:8-7-8-8// 8-7-7-8
3:39 With 10 elbow plank jumps on the turnaround…round 2 I did 20 each time in 4:13
squats (more like regular squats…my knees were funky today):10-12-9-10//12-10-10-9
super girls: 8-7-7-8//7-7-7-7
My favorite parts were the roll overs (poor girl’s body massage), the 10 second rests and the final -beep!- I was absolutely drenched in sweat. So happy our marines are into this—very cool. I think you are taking the world by storm, Zuzana and Freddy! As always, huge appreciation for all you do for us!!!

Hi guys,

I did this workout last night.
My scores:
Part I: Squat R 8-7-76
Plank w/Pushup: 6-5-6-5
Squat L: 6-6-6-6
Plank w/Pushup:5-5-5-5

Part II: (guessing I didn’t get these quite right since my times were so low)
1:41-1:35

Part III: Super Girl Pushup: 4.5-6, 4.5-6 (for some reason ont he 2nd set i did a pushup then 1/2 SG then pushup then 1/2 SG … )
Mini Squat R: 22, 20-22,23
Super Girl Pushup: 4,6-4,6 (same as above)
Mini Squat L: 20, 17 (had a hard time getting my bag up on this one :) ) – 21,21

I thought this was a challenging workout, but it seems like for me, the ones that really focus on the legs are worse. I think I have weak legs:)
Anyway it was tuff enough that the though of doing 20 mintues of skipping after, well, let’s just say I didn’t do it! I decided this morning if 20 minutes of skipping sounds daunting after a workout I’ll do 5 or 10 or 15 … right?

For Creamy Broccoli Turkey Breast Soup was for dinner. OH MY GOSH, I loved it! I was disappointed that I couldn’t find turkey breast and subbed ground turkey. I also used soymilk, but geez, I really enjoyed it … and we’ve got leftovers, which I love :) now I want to try the chicken patties and after workout protein bars …

Z&F thanks for the great workout, nice salute to the marines!

By the way…I was wondering if you’re taking supplements, if so would you share :)

I also wanted to share with everyone a workout that I did the other day and it was great cardio…

Set the timer for 10 rounds 10secs Rest & 50secs Work…My goal was to go through this circuit 3 times for an intense 30min Plyo-Cardio Blast! but I was too tired after the second circuit and gave up haha! I put my scores for both rounds next to each exercise…let me know if anyone tries it!

My time challenge was alot faster because i dont have the space to roll over so i just didnt do that part. But i did make sure i went onto my belly then got up again to do the walking push up, so hopefully i will get the same benefits.

And thanks again Zuz for a killer or a workout!

Hey Zuzana and Freddy, I became a bodyrocker on the 29th of December 2010 and I am loving the transformation that your workouts have given my body in such a small time frame. I have never been this fit before. Thank-you so much for your dedication and time in helping people that might not have the time or money to attend a gym or pay for a personal trainer. This is the first time I am posting my scores…

Cooldown :)

So, I’m mentally preparing to do this workout as soon as I get off work (shhhh… it’s my job to be on a computer). Anywho, I noticed that on the schedule for the week, Zuzana said that being consistant is important this week. And I agree, it is very important to do workouts daily/with consistancy but as a full time student who also works and has an internship and take care of a needy dog (i love him tho :) )… it’s difficult to make time when I wake up early and don’t stop going until late at night… Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can try and make some time for myself to do a workout? I LOVE working out and am currently trying to loose weight.. time (and sweets) are currently my main issue.

Thanks :)

Wow.. this was tough! Usually my boyfriend and I do these workouts/challenges everyday and people watch us and poke fun – today 3 people joined us!!

I would give it some time and rest. Pay really close attention to how you feel and take extreme care not to push to hard :) I hope you get feeling better soon.

Well I think it depends on how you feel when you wake up in the morning. If you’ve slept well and feel energized, you can do your workout on an empty stomach, but your performance may be compromised. Sometimes I do my workouts first thing in the morning, and have breakfast later. But sometimes I just feel I couldn’t move a muscle untill I eat smething. So once again, like Zuzana says, you need to listen to your body. :)

such a great idea… it’s in my genes to “save” just like my grandparents and parents do. No kidding, my mom has canned goods since before I was born…that’s a few decades ago. Thanks :)
http://kenjibankhead.posterous.com/ ashtromanius

Yah… the cookies I made the other day I made with shortening…which I NEVER do because ew.. it’s gross. It made me think twice about indulging in them for sure…it didn’t help when the neighbor came over and asked for the recipe though! I should find something that I hate to eat and make that, then I won’t be tempted. Thanks :)
AudraFit

Hi Dheana, I’ve tried doing these workouts on an empty stomach first thing in the morning also and had noticed I ran out of energy, strength, and focus and struggled to keep up. Not to mention the fact that I get nausea with an empty stomach. I feel that my body needs to refuel after 8 hours of fasting. With workouts as intense as these, I do much better if I eat first and then workout an hour and a half later. It makes such a big difference!
AudraFit

Hi Courtney, I sometimes use my barbell with weight plates or I use my duffel bag with towels wrapped around weights and small pillows for fillers. Therefore, I don’t have a sandbag although it would be nice to get one, one of these days… Your not missing out tho, I actually find the workouts to be more fun and challenging when I have to get creative. A medicine ball will work but eventually it won’t be challenging enough for you, however, don’t get discouraged, there’s all kinds of people here who don’t have these items Zuzana uses so they improvise as well. Hope this helps :)

Did this one yesterday. My legs were quite wobbly to stand on for some time afterwards, even with extensive stretching. I think it was the pulse squats that did it.

I am completely satisfied with my workout. I started looking forward to rolling over so I could rest my arms :)

Thanks Zuzana and Freddy for creating these. I am seeing so much progress since I’ve been following your workouts. It’s 2 months now and I can see how much stronger I am.
Anonymous

I was a runner for many years so my legs are super strong, but my upper body is not as strong. Since I’ve been following these workouts, my upper body is really seeing some results. I can’t wait to have those cuts in my upper arms like Zuzi! Anyway, I just go for the full number of reps, do as many push ups on my toes as I possibly can, and then finish the reps with the beginner (knees) push ups. If you put all your weight on your arms and really squeeze the muscles, you will get the same benefits. I also notice that each time I am able to hang in there a little longer on my toes. Good luck with it!
Small_Girl_80

Howdy!!!

I admire ya’ll both so much and train everyday! I run about 12 miles every other day and the ones in-between I study one of your videos and attempt to push myself wit your step by step!
But I have a problem. Im about 5,5′ and when I do any type of muscle training. I gain muscle so fast and they are big too. For the past 5 years Iv always had a very round butt from playing tennis and now that I run instead, Iv slimmed down a-bit and want to keep it that way. Is there anyway I am able to do your intense training and not gain muscle?
THANKS!

I struggled with this so much a year ago. I had a really bad disorder, just chew everything and spit it out, day and night, I was so addicted. And that wasn’t fun at all, my teeth are still struggling from the damage. So I guess that’s a bad and sad tip, even I guess that you don’t see what that can relate to. But I just want to warn everyone, where it can ends.

I am terrified to try this workout. Zuzana looks like she is in a lot of pain. My solution, is to set a date that I will do this workout on, then when that day comes I will have no excuse to not do it. I am going to pick the 3rd of July, because I want to relax and watch the parade on the 4th and this is kind of a patriotic workout! So there you have it, my promise! I will report my scores then!

Last time I did this I was bruising my knees and elbows on the carpet of a hotel room in Athens – it was good to relive the memories of the city (but not the bruises) this time and ‘glide’ through the 24:10 on a proper exercise mat. My scores are:

Round 1
Part 1:
Sandbag squats (alternating shoulders): 10 | 9 | 10 | 10
Plank jump push ups: 8 | 8 | 8 | 8
Part 2: 4:05
Part 3:
Sandbag minisquats: 25 | 24 | 26 | 26
Super girl push ups: 6 | 7 | 7 | 8
Round 2

Part 1:

Sandbag squats (alternating shoulders): 12 | 11 | 11 | 11

Plank jump push ups: 8 | 8 | 7 | 8

Part 2: 4:05

Part 3:

Sandbag minisquats: 26 | 25 | 26 | 27

Super girl push ups: 7 | 6 | 8 | 8

What I’m most happy about is my consistency (although my slightly improved scores in the very-very last rounds suggest that I probably could push a bit harder, but I’m not sure if we’re all meant to be performing a tiny bit better when we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel).

Did this one lastnight – I accidentally only did 1/2 set on the part 2…. I didn’t read it correctly, so we’ll just use that 1/2 time for that part! Here’s my scores! :)

Part 1: 8,5,8,4 / 6,6,5,3 / 6,5,6,6 / 5,4,4,4
Part 2: 2:47/2:43 – I did better and had better form on the 2nd one too! :)
Part 3: 22,20,22,22 / 4,3,4,3 / 20,19,20,22 / 4,3,3,3

I also did 10 min interval skipping afterwards… getting SO MUCH BETTER on my high knees with rope! :)

I did this outside, and the stupid flies kept trying to bug me!! darn flies!!

I was all set to do this workout for lunch, but my workout buddy preferred something with less pushups. I will do this either tonight or tomorrow. Here’s what we did instead:

4 min 10/20 skipping
30 santana zuzana pushups (3:30)
4 min 10/20 skipping
25 side lunge knee ups per leg (1:40)
4 min 10/20 skipping
50 crab toe touches (1:42)
4 min 10/20 skipping
30 knee hugs (1:27)

Total = 22:19

This time I almost liked it: it was more brutal in my memories, maybe a sign that I’m getting stronger ? :-)
Only problem is that my room is small and I barely had the place to do the roll-overs, I had to reposition myself in the middle for each pendulum/plank session, it didn’t flow very well…
