I got a request for more arm-focused workouts. Well, here you go! And honestly, good thing too. I kind of messed up my leg in some weird way, so I will be laying off really strenuous leg exercises in the near future to try to give it some rest. It’s a very strange area – really hurts when I cross my legs, or put pressure on my leg when it’s bent like that, or doing Get Ups, which was idiotic of me to try, but I just didn’t think about it. If anyone knows some secret to fix it, I welcome the help. And a good reminder to listen to your body and don’t just don’t be stupid. If it hurts stop. If it really hurts, stop and also might wanna get that checked out.
Anywho, expect more arms and abs in your future! Whoo!
Here’s the breakdown of what I did:
20 Commando Pushups
100 High Knees
10 One arm ups
100 Mountain Climbers
10 Divebombers
TWICE! Three times if your arms don’t feel noodley yet. My time was: 13:05.
So explanations:
20 Commando Pushups:
Lay down face down on the ground. Lift your whole body up into a plank and draw one leg in towards your chest. One rep. Lay back down and do it again and lift the other leg in. Each up and leg in is one rep. UPDATE: It’s come to my attention that my back should be straight, which is correct. It’s a bit hard to always have the photos be perfect when you are taking still photos of a movement. Anyway, everyone should keep their back straight! All constructive criticism is helpful. I don’t want to lead anyone astray.
100 High Knees
Kick those knees up as high and fast as you can, each knee up is one rep.
10 One arm ups
Again, lay flat on the ground, face down. Lift your upper body up to look straight ahead using one arm. Then lift the rest of your body, sticking your butt on the air and putting your head towards the ground, creating a triangle. One rep. Lower yourself down to the ground to do the next rep with your other arm. Each time your butt goes in the air, count one rep.
100 Mountain Climbers
Start with one leg out behind your, your hands on the ground, your other leg beneath your body. Switch your legs. Each switch is one rep.
10 Divebombers
Start with your head towards the ground (like the end of your one arm ups, but both hands on the ground), also downward dog position. Then lower your head and swoop it up to the ceiling, looking up. Don’t let your legs touch the floor. Then go back to the starting position. One rep.
Then start over again!
