5/21/13 Workout

Great, great morning! Today was interval training. Weather was warm and humid. I sweat my butt off this morning, nothing was dry. Love it! Calf held up great during the sprint intervals!
Began my routine with 4 minutes of jump rope. Attempted to do some double unders but that was a bust. After jumping rope ran 6-250 meter sprints with 250 meter jog to recover. Completed little over 1.5 miles.
When I was done with my sprints grabbed a pair of 25 lb dumb bells and a 15 lb sandbag from my car and headed to my workout area. I started with my new Tabata upper body routine (fly push ups, switch grip pull ups, dips, pull ups, alt db curls, shoulder press, bent over rows, spiderman push ups) 2x4 minutes with 1 minutes rest in between. Switch grip pull ups, I changed my grip every 4th pull up. Next I performed my new Tabata leg routine (alt lunges, jump knee to chest, bridges, calf raises, leap frog hops, glaciers, speed skater squat right, speed skater squat left) 2x4 minutes with 1 min rest between sets. Then I performed 30 underhand 15# sandbag tosses, 6 toes to bar, 2x20 yd duck walk, 2x20 yd lateral bear walk. Finally ended with the ab challenge routine, 20 sit ups, 8 crunches, 8 leg lifts, 12 sec low plank. Stretch to cool down.
Lots of abdominal/core work involved in the next 4 weeks. Routine was awesome though and felt greag when done. If you want some strong legs, duck walk. Never thought much about when was a child, but it takes lots of lower body strength to squat to the ground and walk that way. Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!
