Thursday's Total Body/Cardio -- Power Walk 2

Today I'm sharing a low impact power walk workout from The Biggest Loser.  There are 4 different walks on the DVD. this is Walk #2.

Light dumbbells (2-3 lbs.) are used to bring in some arm exercises to make it a total body workout.  By the end of the 15 minutes, you will have walked approximately 1 mile.  A warm up and cool down with stretch is included.

Thursday's Total Body/Cardio -- Shape It Workout

Today's workout comes from Melissa Bender.  It is Day 17 of a 30 day challenge she is doing on her YouTube channel. 

The workout is about 15 minutes long.  No warm up or cool down/stretch are provided.

Here are a couple of modifications:

If the table top knee touch is too difficult, just alternate lifting up your legs and leave the arm movement out of it.

For the heel tap leg lifts, as soon as you feel your back arch, stop the legs.  You really don't want to take your legs much past 45 degrees, more than this puts a lot of stress on your lower back.

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- The Dirty 300 Challenge

Since I shared my 300th post earlier this week, I though this workout was meant to be--the video was only uploaded 2 hours ago.

It comes from FitnessBlender.  It is a 300 repetition challenge.  You will do sets of 2 exercises for 25 repetitions each and then repeat.  There are a total of 6 exercises or 3 sets of 2.

Here are the exercises (from the website):

Push Ups

Jump Squats

Supine Plank Raises (single leg, alternating)

Thigh Slap Jumps

Burpees

Jackknife Crunches

No warm up, cool down or stretch are included.  Please do both on your own.

It is not timed, so take as much or as little time as you need in between exercises or sets.  If you follow along with him, it will be about 15 minutes.

I couldn't get the video to link directly from YouTube (the reason I think is because it's so new).  The link to the video is below the picture.

Thursday's Total Body/Cardio -- Interval Cardio and Strength Sandbag Workout

Don't stop reading this just because you don't have a sandbag!!!  You can sub it out with a duffle bag that is filled with some books or magazines.  Wrap them in a towel so they don't shift around too much.  Make it heavy enough to be challenging, but not so heavy that you can't control it.

Today's brand new workout comes from FitnessBlender.  It is 22 minutes long and includes a warm up and cool down, so the workout is only maybe about 15 minutes long.
