I have no idea on how to name these. It is Friday and I am tired but I want to give you some ideas for your workouts this weekend. I will probably come back to these posts and give them a name that is a little more descriptive but for now here you go.
This one is part of a workout that went really well this morning. You need the following:
- Exercise ball
- Bench
- Dumb bells
Remember, this is a circuit so go from exercise to exercise quickly. Take a break at the end of the cycle. We are working on building muscle and upping your cardio. Don’t cheat yourself. Go fast and go hard.
I am working on taking pictures of the exercises to help you out if they are unfamiliar. Until then, if you aren’t sure about an exercise, google it. I will try and be descriptive.
- Split Squats- 25 each leg.
- Bench press with dumbbells- pick a weight you can do at least 10 reps with. Do as many as you can.
- Ab Crunches with feet on ball- at least 50.
- Front raises with a dumbbell on your knees. If you do this right, you will feel it in your shoulders and core. Pick a weight that you can do 10-15 reps with. Again do as many as you can.
- Bicep curls on your knees with dumbbells- since you are on your knees, keep the core engaged as you do curls. Pick a weight you can do 10-15 reps and rep it out.
- Squat and hold against the wall- sumo style. This is feet wide apart and toes out. Beginners should hold at least 30 seconds. Advanced people should aim for 1-2 minutes. after the time expires, immediately do as many squats as you can to finish the legs off.
- Push-ups- as many as you can. If you start on your toes, move to your knees to get more reps in.
- Reverse Crunches- as many as you can. try to hold the crunch at the top for a second.
- Front raises- same as number 4.
- Bicep Curls- same as number 5.
End of cycle 1. Repeat 3-5 times.
remember to stretch as least 10 minutes at the end of this. Let me know how this works for you.
