10 Minutes to Lift

Today we are lifting for 10 minutes! 

THAT'S IT!

The catch: I want you to go as hard as you can for that 10 minutes!

(Use whatever weights you have, 5lb+ and bust out as many reps as you can!)

I'm going back to a "what we did today" post!

As most of you know, I teach a hardcore cardio class. 

Also, I recently joined in on a personal training bootcamp!

So combining these two awesome things, this is what we did today!

Weight Size: Heavyish. Probably 10-15lbs Dumb Bells

Sets of:

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

of:

Deadlifts

Rows

Cleans

Shoulder Presses

Front Squats

*My pictures are all with a bar. We used dumb bells. Either work just fine!

Dead Lift

Row

Cleans

Shoulder Press

Front Squat

Enjoy!

My thoughts: This workout is awesome! Burpees with the ball add an extra torture factor

that makes you core scream! I love Russian Twists, and Sit and Reach's (both of these moves

can be done with no ball or with a weight instead). Planks are stellar for the core, 

but adding the ball adds an extra balance challenge that engages the core as well. 

Toe Taps are honestly just a great way to get your heart pumping. 

This workout is definitely worth the PIN and definitely worth a try!

ENJOY!

Crossfit Inspired: Katrina Approved

This is one of my favorite Crossfit Inspired workouts!

I found out that I'm subbing a class Resistance Interval Plyo Something-or-other class at 8:30am

  (after teaching a sculpt class at 5:30am),

so this is what I'm going to make THEM do!

(I may sit there and sip some chocolate milk or something!)

*the numbers indicate how many you do per round, so 21 squats, 21 jump . . . then 18 squats, etc*

21-18-15-12-9-6-3

Squat (30+lbs bar)

Jump Jacks or Rope

Deadlifts (20+lbs)

Box Hops

Sadly, this won't fill the whole hour class, so we'll see what else I'll make them do. Try this routine at home! It's great and takes about 20 minutes after a proper warm-up! Add some

abs at the end and you have a stellar workout!

ENJOY!
