Strength & Weight Loss

UPPER &CORE:

20 Thrusters (pick a heavier weight than you normally use, about 5 lbs more)
1 min bicycle (core)
20 Push ups* or modified push ups
REPEAT SET 4 TIMES (as fast as you can)
*Try to do at least 5 "real" push ups each set. Those who can, shoot for 10 each set. I bet you can do more than you think. Make sure you have good form!

RUN:
20 minute hills—try to maintain the same pace throughout, push hard on the hills, recover on the flats.
1 min incline, 1 min flat
2 min incline, 2 min flat
3 min incline, 3 min flat
2 min incline, 2 min flat
1 min incline, 1 min flat
2 min sprint—1 min incline, 1 min flat

  1. Today was one of those days that I would rather be shot in the foot as exercise! I did 30 min on my stationary bike.

  2. HI! My 4:30 mornings are catching up to me...I got all my exercises done and want to take a nap really really bad (it is only 10:15). Maybe just a really long bath instead! Have a good day Holly

  3. I did the workout. I love runs like this, they seem to go by really fast, even when you have to watch Dora while doing it. ;) I used 15 lb. weights for the thrusters and I am already feeling it!
    Holly, why are you getting up at 4:30 am??? Good job for still working out, when your so tired. I'm not sure I could do it.

  4. Holly, 4:30???? Are you insane?
    I did yesterdays and todays workout, needless to say I was S-W-E-A-T-Y!
    I love runs like that also. On my last set of box jumps I thought "yeah I didn't even wipe out" and then I wiped out. I feel so good all day after having a workout like today.
