Kicking our own butts
Posted: March 29, 2012 Filed under: Home workout | Tags: 90 degress abs, high knees, mountain climbers, plank jacks, ugi ball Leave a comment »Yesterday I knocked out one of the earlier workouts I did on this site, called Whoa!. I didn’t have my computer because it was getting a little TLC and tonight I don’t really have time to post a complete workout as I gotta do some work for work work, the place that actually pays me!
Today I just walked with the Starbuck.
So last night my scores improved! I’ll give you my old scores vs my new scores below. This was an interval workout, so again, get a free interval timer app! I know 90% of you have smart phones. If you don’t just time yourself for a minute and try to immediately move to the next one, going through each exercise three times.
12 minutes, 12 rounds 10 seconds rest, 50 seconds on, 4 exercises 3 times through:
Plank Jacks (with ugi) 38 / 32 / 25 SECOND TIME: 39 / 36 / 30
Mountain Climbers (with ugi only the first round) 64 / 87 / 88 SECOND TIME: 81 / 75 / 65 (and did ugi all rounds!)
High Knees 133 / no idea / 120 SECOND TIME: ? / 134 / 142
90 Degree Abs 24 / 20 / 24 SECOND TIME: 30 / 30/ and I didn’t write it down? Weirdo.
Plank Jacks: With your forearms down, put your legs out wide, then in together. I did mine on an Ugi ball, but these are super challenging with or without. Your abs will really feel it with an Ugi type thing though. I counted each time my legs went out as a rep.
Mountain Climbers: In plank position, alternate moving your legs closer up to your chest and back.
High Knees: Skip with your legs high as you can
90 Degree Abs: With your legs at 90 degrees, with possibly a weight on top, sit up to touch the weight or imaginary object.
I am not an expert! Workout at your own risk! Ask your doctor! etc etc etc
Whoa!

You get off work, you go run errands and then your dinner fantasy is blown when the farmers market doesn’t have any spaghetti squash. (Really? They literally always have it) Then you wander around for twenty minutes thinking about what the hell paleo substitute you can get for spaghetti squash with your spaghetti sauce… (zucchini was the result). Then you get home and quickly want to get some dinner started before you squeeze your workout in and then it’s like crap. I can’t take the time to figure out this workout online, lemme just do this other one in my head real quick. And then, amazingly, everything came together. I wanted to do a cardio-heavy workout and did a 12 minute workout with plank jacks, mountain climbers, high knees, and 90 degree abs. Holy. Sweat. Wow. I knew when I wrote it down it was going to kick my butt, but I really had no idea.
If you’re looking for some cardio to do, or keep away for a rainy day when you don’t want to leave the house, this will do you right.
I’ll probably be doing the workout I had in mind originally soon, so stay tuned!
