Workout Thursday

Great leg workout with a bit of chest and back.

Start out by warming up on the treadmill for at least 10 minutes. Helps to get your muscles ready to work. 

Order gear used in this workout...
(I had a cutie pie photo bomber today while doing my pics) 
Either regular "boy style" push ups or I like to hold one leg up in the air for a challenge. 
Start

Go down as far as you can. I always shoot for 20 reps....hoping for 25.

Kettle bell Bulgarian squats...hold as heavy as you can. I do 20s. Foot on bench and squat/bend knee then come up to starting position. 15 reps per leg.
Start.

Second position. Then straighten leg. Switch legs for a total of 30.

Jump rope for 1 minute.

Dumbbell row. Knee on bench. Make sure back is flat! Remember the back is a big muscle. Lift heavy!! Great exercise for the fat that hangs over your bra.
 First position. 


Second position. 15 reps per arm. Heavy weights ladies...at least 10 pounds. I do 25 pounds per arm. Your purse weighs at least 10;)

Band walk keeping band as far apart as possible...keep the tension on the band don't let it go slack. Walk forward large steps. 25 steps. Then walk backwards 25 steps. Then 25 steps to one side. Then side steps 25 more on the other side. Does nothing if band is not tight!! Keep tension!!

Jump rope 1 minute. 

Loving these lunges!
Using a 15-20 pound kettlebell.
Walking lunges ..difference is you are leaning forward as you lunge. 
Keep back and shoulders straight not hunched over...25 steps. 
Then switch kettlebell to other hand and do 25 more. 

Do this full routine 3x thru. 

Finish with 2 minutes of jumping rope! 
It's a tough one!
