WOD 8/27

Workout of the Day (WOD) 8/27

Today is a good day to hit the weights. After a day of rest your body should be ready for a little extra work.

Warm up
1 Mile Run Steady Pace
Stretch

Start off with a weight you are comfortable with

Bench-15 Reps
Squat- 15 Reps
Curls- 15 Reps
Tricep Extension - 15 Reps

Add 5 pounds to each workout

Bench - 10 Reps
Squat - 10 Reps
Curls - 10 Reps
Tricep Extenson - 10 Reps

Add 5 pounds to each workout (this should be a difficult weight and expect to only be able to do a few reps)

Bench - (5-8) Reps
Squat - (5-8) Reps
Curls - (5-8) Reps
Tricep Extenson - (5-8) Reps

Now that the weight lifting is done, I always like to throw in a little calisthenics at the end. 

Max Reps
Pull-ups
Push-ups
Dips
Sit-ups

Cool Down

Bike/Walk - 5 Mins
Stretch

This should be a difficult workout and you should feel exhausted when you are done. Embrace that feeling!

WOD 8/26

Workout of the Day (WOD) 8/26

For me I find it easier to make time for long hard workouts on the weekends. Therefore, I usually have my rest day be Monday. Not only is it the first day of the work week, but you are likely to be more tired than any other day of the week. My advice take Monday off, rest up, and get ready to hit it hard again on Tuesday.

30 Day Fitness Challenge

In the last month I have seen several 30 Day Fitness Challenges pop up. All seem to have good parts and pieces but none of them had a solid overall workout.  I have created a combination of a couple different ones that I believe will give you an all around great workout and that I have currently been participating in. Keep in mind this does not have to be your total source of working out each day. I have been able to incorporate this challenge into my daily routine to spice things up a little. If you feel up to it give it a shot and let me know how it goes! Also, some of you may not be able to start off with 20 reps of each. If you have to start off with 10 or 15 reps of each that is fine, just remember to push yourself and try your best and you will see results.

Rules:
Do not break into sets
Complete one exercise before moving onto the next
Know your limits and use proper form

Day 1 20 Jumping Jacks
         20 Burpees
         20 Squats
         20 Push-ups
         20 Sit-ups

Day 2 25 Jumping Jacks
         25 Burpees
         25 Squats
         25 Push-ups
         25 Sit-ups

Day 3 30 Jumping Jacks
          30 Burpees
          30 Squats
          30 Push-ups
          30 Sit-ups

Day 4 REST (Keep doing these same 5 workouts each day. I am going to write out how many reps of each should be done on that day)

Day 5 - 35 Reps
Day 6 - 40 Reps 
Day 7 - 45 Reps
Day 8 REST
Day 9 - 50 Reps
Day 10 - 55 Reps
Day 11 - 60 Reps
Day 12 Rest
Day 13 - 65 Reps
Day 14 - 70 Reps
Day 15 - 75 Reps
Day 16 REST
Day 17 - 80 Reps
Day 18 - 85 Reps
Day 19 - 90 Reps
Day 20 REST
Day 21 - 95 Reps
Day 22 - 100 Reps
Day 23 - 105 Reps
Day 24 Rest
Day 25 - 110 Reps
Day 26 - 115 Reps
Day 27 - 120 Reps
Day 28 Rest
