Good luck

One of my friends recently turned 52 and requested a workout for her birthday.  She is a real nice lady and if you ever meet her, you will swear she looks 32.  (So don't call BS on me...feel free to call it on her though.)

I went through this one myself and believe me...turning 52 is tough.

Good Luck! (the workout)

1 Super Squat Combo
14 Pushups (or hold Plank for 14 seconds)
14 Leg Lifts
14 Thrusters with 25lb dumbells.  (man, I hate these m-f'ers)
     or sub in Push-Press or squats or whatever else that sucks for you.
14 Ring Rows.

Rinse and repeat for 4 rounds total.

My time is 14:42

Oh, and Miss Kaye turned in the fastest time.  I still believe she is lying about her age.

Armageddon!!!

As promised...Armageddon.

This workout consists of three levels.  I recommend a quick warmup:  Jump rope, few pushups, squats and wrestlers.  DO NOT OVER DO IT!!!  That is what the workout is for.  Remember, you get light-headed, dizzy, or even feel the need to purge the Denny's Grand Slam breakfast you just ate...step back and regain your focus.  Passing out during workouts benefits you, nada.

Level One:  5 minute time limit
     1 minute...Sprints-14 yards round trip
     1 minute...Alternating Leg Lifts
     1 minute...Horse Stance with Horizontal punches
     1 minute...Plank Hold
     1 minute...Rolling Wrestlers

1 minute rest, water up and mop off.

Level Two:  10 Minute Amrap (As Many Rounds As Possible)
     100 Jump Ropes (I used a 2-lb rope)
       50 Total Bicycle Crunches
       10 Pushups (I used Paralettes to get full range)
         5 Pullups (You can sub in Ring Rows)
         1 Super Squat Combo (Why?  Well two is just silly)

1 minute rest, water up and hose off.

Level Three:  Round-down 10 to 1 reps  (or as we say in class, "HOLY CRAP!!!")
     Burpees
     Plank Running, total each leg
     Thrusters with 25-lb dumbbells (Sub in Kettlebell Swings, or standard squats.  Your pain)
     Bent-over Rows with 32-lb Kettlebell, each arm (Or appropriate weight for you)
     Lying Hip Extension

All done.  Have a friend roll you over to the couch or your car.

Any questions, no...good.  Embrace the carnage.

Decepticon Workout

The workout:
This workout is five rounds long.

Each round is a 3 minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) with one minute of rest in between.

Exercises:
        - 1 Super Squat Kick Combo
        - 5 Pushups
        -10 Wrestlers

A Super Squat Kick Combo is:
      1 squat and Knee strike up in front
      1 squat and Front Snap Kick in front
      1 squat and Side Thrust Kick to the side
      1 squat and jump up and spin 180
         degrees to face the otherside.
         Repeat on the other side.

For those doing the math a Super Squat Kick Combo is 8 squats.

Sound easy?  Great go for it.  When you count rounds only count full rounds.  If you make it to wrestlers and the time runs out.  Doesn't count.

Here is my score, now CRUSH IT!!!!  I did 4 sets per round.  20 rounds total.  I am sure you can do the math on this assignment.  Still a little rubbery in the limbs.  The workout is deceiving, but worth it.

Good luck,

Kinda of a pick your poison type workout

Here is a doozey for you.

You have a 30 minute time limit.  Should be plenty

At each level A thru E you need to complete a total of 80 reps in four rounds (i.e. all your "A" exercise need to total 80 max).  My numbers are in Parenthesis.  Each round 1 thru 3 is done to your max and then you move on.  No rest and then restart the exercise.  You can rest in between rounds and even in between different exercise, but remember your time limit.  It goes really fast.

Round 1
A One-arm Pushups-Total of Left and right arm     (18)
B Squats                                                               (40)
C Wrestlers                                                           (32)
D Alternate Leg Lifts-both legs count as one set    (25)
E Pullups                                                              (12)

Round 2
A Pushups                                                             (28)
B Side Squats-Total each leg                                  (20)
C Crunches (Wrestlers with out the hand support)  (22)
D Leg Lifts                                                            (30)
E Ring Rows                                                           (16)

Round 3
A Diamond Pushups              (18)
B Frog Jumps                       (12)
C Wrestlers                          (20)
D Hanging Knees to Chest      (8)
E Pullups                              (10)

Yeah, arms are not to happy right now.  Now round 4, where we finish out the 80 count.
Round 4  
A Vertical Fist Pushup                 (16)  Whew!
B Front Lunge-Total both legs      (8)  Whew!
C Superman rolls                        (6)  Whew!
D Side scissors with legs             (17)  Whew
E Ring Rows                               (42) DAGGUM!!!


My time was 25:58.  From this side of the workout, it wasn't so bad.
