Farewell 2013, hello 2014!
What is in store this year? No idea, but it is going to be a good one!
Here is a little workout to get everything moving in the right direction…
The plan: 20 minutes HIIT. Four rounds of the following five muscle burning moves, 10 seconds rest between each exercise, 50 seconds of work (play… however you see it!):
Zooooom!
… and we’re back!
I realised today, that this year I have climbed more in the great outdoors than stuck in a climbing gym. This is big, and I mean epic. I have never been able to say that before, and I say a lot of things.
Could be the totes-amaze weather, or the easier access to a car. Could just be that nothing compares to the feel of proper rock. I am still a total scaredy-cat, but that’s OK with me. A quick panic half way up is not unusual to make sure I am tied in properly, even if my knot has been checked, twice. In retrospect, I did get halfway up a route once to find I hadn’t tied in at all… We’ve all been there though… haven’t we? right?
I have, however, decided that roadside crags are not for me. Thank you, but no.
The plan: Super-set me today, hitting the legs and butt!… only in a good way… Warm up, not really a problem since it is about 30degs out there, then:
4 circuits of:
Then, 4 circuits of:
Sweet!
The plan: HIIT, short and snappy, your gonna love this! Today, three different sets of HIIT only 6 minutes each. For each set complete 6 rounds of the two exercises, 25 seconds per exercise with 5 seconds to get ready for the next (plenty of time!). All you need is a timer, kettle bell or sandbag, and a skipping rope!
First set:
Second set:
Third set:
Enjoy the holiday weekend!
The plan: 16 minutes of HIIT. Four rounds, after you warm up, with 50 seconds work and 10 seconds rest between each exercise.
Warm down, stretch, breath, relax…
The plan: in a word: volume. Lots of volume. So how about it? 10 sets of:
Form! Nearly forgot to say, remember your form! Make it perfectly lovely!
The plan: Three rounds of the following 5 exercise:
Golden rule #4: Slow and steady catches the monkey.
The plan: Treadmill sprints! mixing it up for time and speed! Basically, you can tailor this to your own desires, but my session today will look something like this (you will have to imagine the sweat, gasps for air and cursing):
Ramp it up, or slow it down. I don’t usually put speeds up but I wasn’t sure how to describe it. Kinda like sprinting up and down a hill but not really?!?
Only 10 minutes of work in total, enjoy!
The plan: 20 minutes of HIIT. Complete 4 rounds of these five exercises! 50 seconds working out, 10 seconds to catch your breath and move on. You are gonna love this!
Tell me you don’t have more than a feeling!
Just remember to fall in love, there’s nothing else… like you need reminding 😉
The plan: 8×1 minute sprints. If your on a mill, spice it up with some incline, why don’t ya! Speaking of love, don’t forget to warm up and cool down, show your bod’ you love it!
Be well today!
The plan: back on the HIIT today. Only 18 minutes, mind… yeah, 18 intense minutes! 10 seconds to dash to the next exercise or slurp up some water, 50 seconds to see what you can do. Complete three rounds of these six exercises:
Be well, and have a good weekend!
