JUMP ROPE + PUSH-UPS/SIT-UPS​

***I subbed pullups for the sit-ups***

Jump/Skip rope in 30/30 intervals for twenty minutes performing quick sets of calisthenics during the rest intervals.


This is a challenging workout, but it is effective and very satisfying to complete. During the thirty seconds between sets of rope skipping you will complete a brief set of an additional exercise. Alternate sets of push-ups and sit-ups so that you perform ten sets of each during the twenty minutes.


You do not have long to perform each set. You also will need extra time to transition from skipping to pushing or crunching and back again. Plan to keep the sets small (e.g. 5-20 reps) and allow ~5 seconds for the first transition and 5-10 seconds for the transition back to the rope.


Start with sets of push-ups and sit-ups smaller than you think you can handle. This is a conditioning drill, not a strength workout.


This does not have to be done at an all-out sprint. Find a rhythm and work from one exercise to the other.


Advanced
Complete ten sets of:

• 30/30 Skipping Rope or Jumping Jacks
• A set of Push-ups
• 30/30 Skipping Rope or Jumping Jacks
• A set of Sit-ups
  

NOTES:
***subbed pullups (all assisted) for the sit ups
***did workout as follows:
jumprope
10 pushups each round
5 pullups each round
***one tough workout!!! didn't do a good job pacing my self through the jumprope, slowed them down the last 2 rounds.
**took an unplanned 30 second rest between rounds 9 and 10. thought I had done 10 rounds, but he gymboss kept going (stupid gymboss!!) so I realized I only did 9 rounds and at the 30 second mark, picked up with round 10.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Hi everyone. Was busy with school. Today I am studying and procrastinating and hopefully exercising. Thursday was a rest day and yesterday I did Providence.

Thanks for sharing your KB results.

Deanie- You are a beast!

Marcy- Sending virtual chicken soup to DH and virtual immune booster to you. Physique 57 looks interesting.

I am supposed to be on a no spend program ( I have cut back tremendously) but I am a sucker for nail polish. If I were a fish, I would have been reeled in a long time ago. I love sparkly, glittery and bright polishes.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hi Everyone,

I was busy yesterday at my parent's house so I didn't post. I was very stressed out and feeling punky so all I did was a 2 mile walk last night.
I had a mini-meltdown at my parent's house last night (lasted about 5 minutes) and felt better.

This morning I did a 5K race in Tallahassee. It was a beautiful morning, clear and in the mid 50s. The race was a "1st annual" so it was a smaller race. The course was mainly flat with a couple of rolling hills in a very pretty neighborhood - lots of beautiful oak trees.

I wasn't really pushing it in the beginning but I felt pretty good so I got settled into my pace. I felt really good and finished in a good time. It was about 2 minutes better than last week (which was longer than a 5K) and less than a minute slower than the race previous to that one. I was happy with my time since I wasn't feeling all that great yesterday.

This was my 18th race this year. I have 2 more left in 2009 ~ one on the 21st and one on December 5.

Deanie ~ I love the workout you did today. I'm copying it for future use.

Marcy ~ Hope your DH is feeling better.

Rhonda ~ Hope you get your workout in today. I love nail polish too! I use it more for my toes than my fingers though! I love getting sparkly bright colors too!

Have a great weekend!
