Right There Workout & My New Sandbag

I've been waiting for my new sandbag, which I got from Rouge Fitness, to come in the mail so that I could do the Right There Workout.


And yes. That is a 10 lb bag of rice you see in there.

Here's the breakdown for today's 20 minute workout. (I know, long, huh?) The workout comes in 2 parts, each of which will be repeated 2 times.

Part 1 - 4 minutes, complete the following exercise combination as many times as possible:

1) 10 Jump Squats
2) 1 Side Step Push Up
3) 2 Diagonal Knee Tucks
4) 1 Side Step Push up

Part 2 - 6 minutes, 9 rounds of 30:10 intervals (changed these to 35:5 intervals for the second set), repeat the following 3 times:

1) Lunge Pulse & Side Kick - left
2) Lunge Pulse & Side Kick - right
3) Diagonal Dead Lift with Sandbag


As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am sans my Gym Boss, so I used an on-line interval timer.

Here are my scores for today.
Set 1
Part 1 - 9 reps
Part 2 - 30:10 intervals
   Round 1 - 7, 8, 14
   Round 2 - 8, 9, 15
   Round 3 - 8, 9, 16

Set 2
Part 1 - 8 reps
Part 2 - 35:5 intervals
   Round 1 - 10, 10, 19
   Round 2 - 9, 9, 18
   Round 3 - 8, 9, 18

Sexy Shoulders & Abs Workout

Hi Everyone! So, I'm in my new house and I don't have the internet hooked up yet, which is why I haven't posted in a little while, but I'm still here and I'm still Body Rockin' it!

On Wednesday I didn't do a traditional workout, but I did mow my lawn for an hour and 15 minutes with an a push mower - I'm not talking about a gas push mower, I'm talking about the kind with the blades that spin! I had to go over sections of my yard multiple times and the grass still wasn't cut to my satisfaction! I'm calling it the "Nice GrASS Workout." I'm sure to repeat it at least once a week for the rest of the summer.

So, because I couldn't get on line, I made up my own workout. It's the very first one I've ever put together myself and I'm calling it the Sexy Shoulders & Abs Workout. All but one of the exercises appear in other workouts, so it isn't hard to figure out what the workout looks like. Here it is:

15 minutes, 15 50:10 intervals, repeat the following 3 times:
1) Reverse Lunge & Kick Up (left)
2) Reverse Lunge & Kick UP (right)
3) Dynamic Push Up
4) 25 cm Ball Crunch
5) Pike Press

For exercise number 4, I use the Gold's Gym 25cm Pilates mini-ball. I like it because it allows you to get a greater range of motion than just doing regular crunches.

Here are my scores:
Round 1 - 19, 18, 14, 16, 15
Round 2 - 18, 17, 11, 14, 14
Round 3 - 16, 16, 10, 17, 14
