Bored with your workouts? Try this ADD UP workout today



Happy Halloween! I have a special Halloween treat just for you, guaranteed to burn off those extra little candy bars!

This week we are going to be doing an ADD UP workout! This work will challenge your memory, and you fitness level! We will be doing 10 rounds of various exercises. We will start by doing the 1st exercise, then the next round you will do 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, etc. You will repeat this all the way until exercise 10.

Warm up: 1 min High Knees+20 Jumping Jacks +1 min Butt Kicks +20 Squat-Calf Raises+1 min run in place+ 20 alt lunges with a twist (10 on each leg)

1.       5 Burpees

2.       50 mountain climbers (25 on each leg)

3.       10 thrusters

4.       10 pushups

5.       25 squat pulses

6.       10 Split Lunges (each leg)

7.       5 body builders

8.       15 tricep dips (do it with 1 leg up for an extra challenge!)

9.       50 (100 total) bicycle crunches

1.   10 up/down planks (on each arm)

Exercise Explanations:

Thrusters: This is the bottom portion of the burpee. In the push up position, jump the legs in, then jump the legs back out.

Split Lunges: In a lunge stance, dip the knee down and back up, staying on one leg. Then repeat to the other side.

Body Builders: This is similar to doing a burpee. Using dumbbells, do a burpee. When you are in the push up position, row the right arm up, then do a push up, then row with the left arm, then finish the rest of the burpee.

Up/Down Planks: Start in the plank position. Push up on one arm, then the other to put yourself in the push up position, then go back down into the plank position.

Now that you are done with that workout, you should add up the REAL total of each exercise! Once you see those numbers, you should give yourself a pat on the back! AWESOME JOB! We will see you next week!
