WOD: Burpee Galore

Wednesday 21 August 2013

Hey lovelies,

Today we did a 15 minute workout with lots of burpees and some pull-ups! We had a 15 minute time cap but see if you can beat us and finish it in less time.

If you are doing this work out from home and do not have a pull up bar, you can do 10 pushups instead. If you are at the gym and a pull up bar is available then you can do 5-10 depending on your level. For this workout you are going to need an interval timer, if you do not have one just keep an eye on the time on your phone. Start with your 10 pull ups or push ups and then begin your burpees as soon as your done. Make sure you count how many burpees you do within the 2 minutes. After two minutes,   go back to your 10 pull ups or push ups and continue your burpees. Repeat the combination until you get to 100 burpees.

Example:

0:00 - 10 pull ups/ push ups and as many burpees as you can
2:00- start pull ups/ push ups and as many burpees as you can

Continue at

4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00

then as many burpees as you can get in at the last minute!!

Remember to count your burpees !! Goodluck:)

Marie- 64 burpees in 15:00
Brittany- 100 burpees in 15:05

Fitness: WOD - Ripped Arms!

Saturday 27 July 2013

Hello lovelies,

Here is the workout we did today. Let us tell you.... it was killer. Brittany's all about the kettle bell swings, and I, however, despise them, lol. They are however, great for your arms and back. Make sure you're not swinging with your arms. Use a hip-thrust motion to help you get your arms in the air. If your back starts hurting, don't continue! Good luck!

50 Air Squats
25 Hand-Release Pushups; Boy or Girl pushups


~2 minute break~

Complete this 2 more times.

Make sure you minus 4 minutes for your break from your total time.

Let us know your times! :)

Fitness: Workout of the Day (WOD)

Monday 8 July 2013

Hello lovelies!

Today we will be sharing with you our WOD; workout of the day. We just came back from our Cross Fit gym and wanted to share with you what we did :) It's a short, high-intensity workout... the best kind, in our eyes :) We have a version you can do at the gym and one you can do at home. Good luck!

Home


2 minutes: Skipping (if you have a skipping rope) or jumping jacks
3 minutes: Air Squats - make sure your feet are shoulder-width apart. When you squat, make sure you sticking your butt out and that your knees don't go over your feet. 

2 minute rest :)

3 minutes: Push-ups (girl or guy) - make sure you keep your hands close to your body near your chest
2 minutes: Skipping (if you have a skipping rope) or jumping jacks again.

Gym

2 minutes: Skipping (if you have a skipping rope) or fast running on the treadmill/moving on the elliptical
3 minutes: Wall Balls - if your gym has medicine balls (10-14 lbs, or lower if needed), stand close to a wall, get into a squat position with the ball in your hands and throw the ball as high as you can on the wall. When you catch the ball, use your legs to support you and go down into your squat position. If they don't have a medicine ball, do squats with some weight on your back- as much as you can!

2 minute rest :)

3 minutes: 2-Handed Kettlebell Swings - choose one that is suitable for you (Marie uses 18 lbs, Brittany uses 26) - remember not to solely use your arms but to use the motion of your hips to help you.
2 minutes: Skipping (if you have a skipping rope) or fast running on the treadmill/moving on the elliptical.

That's it! 12 minutes of intensity instead of 40 minutes on the treadmill. You'll be burning more calories during and after your workout, as well as using your own body weight. Let us know how you did :)
