30 Day Challenge || Jessica Day 11: My poor, poor legs
Ouch. Weighted side lunge jump squats a day after Rita's brutal Day 10 routine beat up my legs. If they could, my legs probably would be shedding tears, but I love it! I didn't log reps since the rest period was active...that's the only thing I don't like about active rest. I did not have to modify any of the moves, and found the walking dragon to be really tough.
Day 11
What you need
> Timer
> Sand Bag (mine is about 21lb)
Workout Breakdown
50 second work + 10 seconds active rest for 12 rounds (3 rounds of 4 exercises = 12 min)
active rest = squat
*Squat*
1) Roll Back Jump Tuck Burpee
*Squat*
2) Side Lunge Jump Squat
*Squat*
3) Walking Dragon
*Squat
4) Crunch & Reach
*Squat*
I felt like the roll back burpee would be more effective broken into two separate moves. The combo is fun, but the momentum makes it less difficult. Here is what I will do instead when I repeat the workout:
1- Prisoner get up/Turkish get up
2- Jump tuck burpee
(Note that this will add 3 min to the routine. Timer should be set 10/50 x15)
How did you do?
