It consists of 5 exercises (the reps aren't all done at once):

Frog Jumps - 100 reps

Burpees - 50 reps

Knee to elbow plank - 100 reps

Push Ups - 50 reps

Mountain Climbers - 200 reps

No warm up or cool down are provided.  Please do those on your own.

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout Pure Burn Super Strength

I've not posted a longer strength workout, so, here it is, and it comes from Bob Harper.  It is a one hour strength workout for the entire body.

What I like about his workouts is that he always includes a warm up, cool down with stretch and modifications.  He talks about form a lot, and that's a good thing.

You will need a set of dumbbells, a mat or carpeted area, your water bottle and maybe a towel to wipe that sweat off of your brow!

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Cardio Extreme Workout

Today's workout comes from BeFit as part of the 30 Day Fat Burn series.

It is a 10 minute workout that takes you through 20 repetitions of  8 different strength exercises, followed by a 2 minute push made up of 4 cardio exercises.

There is no warm up or cool down provided, please do those on your own.  You will need a set of dumbbells.

Workout Moves:

Squat Press to Kick

Lunge & Row

Alternating Lunges & Lateral Raise

Tree Pose & Bicep Curl

Tree Pose & Hammer Curl

Plie' Squat to X Overheads

Chest Fly & Single Leg Bridge

Tricep Dip to Toe Touch

2 Min Cardio Push:

180 Squat Spins

Crossover Jacks

Jogger's Punch

Ski Jumps

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Chiseled Cardio Plyometrics

This workout from LiveExercise has both cardiovascular and conditioning exercises.  It is done boot camp style.

Skip the static stretches at the beginning.  Dynamic stretches (moving while you stretch) are better at the beginning of a workout, static stretches are better at the end.

You need a jump rope and 1 or 2 resistance bands.  If you don't have a rope, jump in place.  If you don't have a strap to put your band up high or low--do the exercises without the resistance or use dumb bells where you can.

On the sit ups--keep the elbows back and the feet on the floor.  She is cheating big time by picking up her foot.  If you can't come up without lifting your feet up, then only come up part way.  If coming up all the way bothers your back, then only come up part way as well.

Wednesday's Wild Warrior Workout -- Another 1,000 Calorie Burn Workout

Today's workout is another awesome and insane 1,000 Calorie Burn Workout from FitnessBlender.

It is a 94 minute long bodyweight only workout--only a mat or carpeted area is needed, a warm up and cool down with stretch are both included.

It is another mash up type of workout,  from the website:

In just this one video, you're going to find elements of high intensity interval training, bodyweight strength training, plyometrics, functional training, Pilates, kickboxing, yoga, and toning/strength workouts for each of the major muscle groups; abs, butt and thighs, and upper body. This is truly a mash up of so many different training types, which is part of what keeps things fresh and interesting over such a long workout video. It's also what makes the workout so effective.

Do what you can, modify when necessary and take longer breaks if you need to.

Here's your 5 minute bonus workout also from FitnessBlender:

Fast HIIT Cardio Workout to Boost Metabolism

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- HIIT -- Inferno Fat Burning

Today's crazy workout comes from D180Fitness.  It is a high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout that consists of 7 circuits.  He explains each of the exercises performed for the circuit before you do them.

There is no warm up--it's really important to do one, especially when doing a HIIT workout.

The first circuit is for the upper body.  It consists of 3 exercises:  dive bombers, plank jacks and break dancers.  He gives a modification for the dive bombers and the break dancers.  You will do 5 reps of each and then repeat the circuit for as many rounds as possible (AMRAP) for 50 seconds.

The second circuit focuses on the lower body.  The exercises are:  jump squat and glute busters, 10 of each continuing again for 50 seconds.

Circuit 3 goes back to upper body.  Here you will do 3 reps of the following 3 exercises:  inch worms, donkey kicks and plank hops (watch the video to see how all of these are done), again for 50 seconds.

Circuit 4 --lower body--alternating jump lunges and cross squats, 10 reps each for 50 seconds.

After a break, you will now repeat each of these circuits again with less time between circuits.

Circuit 5 -- upper body --starts with a plank challenge--60 seconds in front plank, 30 seconds in side plank,  30 seconds on the other side--he gives a modified version if you absolutely need it.  You will do this 3 times.  Remember, for the front plank, keep the abs engaged and the body in-line from the crown of your head to your heels--don't let your hips drop either.  For the side plank, keep your chest open and your shoulders back and down--envision your upper back is pressed against a wall.  This one is 6 minutes long--hang in there!

Circuit 6 --lower body--30 seconds of speed squats, 30 seconds alternating (jump) lunges, 30 seconds of glute busters and 30 seconds of jump squats--1 time each.

Circuit 7 is a tabata--4 minutes total 20 seconds work 10 second rest for 8 rounds.  The exercise is pulse push ups--do what you can in that 20 seconds.

Circuit 8 is another tabata--1 arm burpees 20 seconds work 10 seconds rest for 8 rounds--again he gives a modification using both hands--if that's too much you can step it back and forward instead of jumping.

Don't forget to cool down and stretch afterward--this is a total body workout--stretch your entire body.

Inferno Fat Burning Session

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Brutal Kettlebell Cardio HIIT

Today's workout comes from FitnessBlender.  It is a HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout that incorporates cardiovascular exercises and kettlebell exercises that will provide a great total body workout.

As usual, if you don't want to jump, modify the move by making it bigger and more dramatic.    Watch your knees on squats and lunges, making sure to keep the knees bent at no further than 90 degrees.  When doing either move, you should be able to see you big toe.  If you can't, then your knee is shooting forward past 90.

When doing the kettlebell swing, remember to pop the hips forward--if you don't have a kettlebell, you can use one heavier weight or you can use a gallon jug filled with water, or a gym bag with short handles filled with books or magazines.

Be really careful with the clean and press.  If you can't control it without banging your forearm with the weight, go with a lighter dumbbell instead.

Most of the exercises will be done tabata style--20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest.  The exercises are divided into pairs (labeled A and B below) You will do each exercise twice (AABB) and then repeat the both twice again (AABB) for a total of 8 rounds or 4 minutes total.  The kettlebell strength exercises range between 1 and 2 minutes.

Here's a list of the exercises:

HIIT A: Pop Squats

HIIT B: Broad Jumps + Thigh Slaps

Kettlebell: Kettlebell Swings

HIIT A: Switchfoot Mt Climber

HIIT B: Lateral Burpees

Kettlebell: Clean & Press - one minute each side

HIIT A: High Plank Twists

HIIT B: Switchfoot Jumps

Kettlebell: Around the World

HIIT A: Double Burpees

HIIT B: Lateral Jumps + 3 Knees

Kettlebell: Long Lunge + Extension

You will then do a cardio burnout section--20 seconds each exercise with no rest:

- High Knees

- Jumping Jacks

- Butt Kickers

- Fly Jacks

- Boxer Shuffle

- Toe Touch Crunches

- Torso Twists

- March in Place

A warm up and cool down are both included.

This workout comes from the BeFit 30 Day Fat Burn program.  It is called the Maximum HIIT Workout.  It consists of alternating variations of jumping jacks with strength moves that provide your "rest" time.

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Cardio HIIT

Well, yesterday was Fat Tuesday, so it's only appropriate that the wild/warrior workout be set for today.  I hope you didn't have too many Pazckis!  Thankfully, I don't like them.  So, if you ate it, negate it!!!

Today's workout comes from Melissa Bender.  It is day 2 from a 30 Day challenge that she has on her YouTube channel and website.  It is a 16 minute HIIT (high intensity interval training) routine.

The first video is a tutorial that goes through each exercise you will do, which is nice.  I recommend watching this first.

The second video is the actual 16 minute workout.  Neither warm up nor cool down/stretch are included.  Please do those on your own.

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- HIIT -- Exercises to Burn Calories

This workout keeps you moving without stopping, it's called "Burn 1 Million Calories."  Yes, it is exaggerated, but you will burn a ton of calories if you bring your highest level of intensity to each move.  It comes from XHIT Daily. 

It is only a little over 9 minutes long.  There are 12 exercises.  Most are performed for 30 seconds, a few for 60.

Here's a list of the exercises:

Please do a warm up and cool down/stretch first.

Please wear shoes--why she's barefoot, I really don't know--there are too many high impact moves to do this without the proper shoes.  Modify when needed.  If you really need to take a rest break, take one.  It's your workout.

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):

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.

The Dirty 300 Challenge

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Box and Burn Jump Rope Workout

It's been a while since I posted a longer workout--this one is about 54  minutes long.  It comes from RealFitTv.

It combines upper body kickboxing moves with pushups, bicycle crunches and jump rope segments.  It can be done with or without light weights (no more than 3 lbs.). If you are new to kickboxing, leave the weights out of it.  If you don't have a jump rope, just do the jumping and pretend to turn the rope.

A warm and cool down are both provided.

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- HIIT (33:44 seconds to death)

Today's crazy workout comes from another new channel I found on YouTube called D180Fitness.

It is an intense HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout that first takes you through 6 exercises (push ups, jump squats, mountain climbers, jump lunges, burpees and glute busters) with no rest time in between for 2 rounds.

Secondly, you will go into a ladder workout with burpees (without push ups), dive bombers and jump lunges starting with 10 reps down to 1.  This is a time challenge, getting as far as you can in 3-1/2 minutes.

From here you will have three 1 minute circuits.  First, you will have 3 different upper body exercises (bear crawls, cross climbers and in/out push-ups) performing each 5 times for a total of 1 minute.  Then 3 different lower body exercises (glute busters, in/out squats and criss cross squats) are done the same way but 10 reps of each for 1 minute.  The next 3 exercises (side to side squats, burpees with a spin jump and pendulum swings) are back to 5 reps each.  These 3 circuits are repeated again with only a 10 second rest in between (take more time if you need it).

Finally, it ends with a squat challenge, 30 seconds of squats and then he slows the squats down for a bit and you finish up with another 30 seconds of squats.  WHEW!!!

It is challenging--c'mon, it's not called 33:44 to death because it's easy!!!

There is no warm up or cool down.  Please do those on your own.  If you don't want to jump, just pop up onto the balls of your feet.  If you have knee issues, do not take the knees past 90 degrees on the squats. Do the highest level of each exercise that you can with great form.  This workout is meant to exhaust you.

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Insane 10 Minute HIIT Tabata

Today's workout comes from LiveExercise.

It is a 10 minute HIIT Tabata workout that has 3 high intensity exercises that are done for 20 seconds with 10 seconds rest.  This is repeated for 6 rounds before moving onto the next exercise.

As a bonus, during the "rest" time, the instructor adds a second exercise for more intensity if you'd like.

Make sure you are lifting enough weight to feel the bicep curls, but not so much that you can't control them.  A resistance band is definitely recommended here over dumbbells.

There is no warm up included.  Please do that on your own.

Please cool down and stretch on your own as well.

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Fat Burning HIIT Cardio

Today's workout comes from FitnessBlender.  It is a 20 minute fat burning HIIT workout.  It consists of 5 exercises performed tabata style (20 seconds work with a 10 second rest) done 4 times.  Please modify to lower impact if you don't jump.  A warm up and cool down are both included.

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Catching Fire Workout

I finally saw this movie a couple of weeks ago.  I had to wait until I saw the movie to share this workout.

It comes from blogilates.  I think it is quite clever, fun, but intense.  Criss Cross Jabberjays, Force Field Flyers, Poisonous Fog Crawl, Tick Tock Abs, Sprint or High Knees and Monkey Butt Knockout, these are the names of the exercises you'll be doing.

Do a warm up first.  She takes you through the exercises once and you are to repeat the entire thing again on your own as many times as you'd like

While I was looking for this workout, I found another one.  The workout starts about halfway through the video. It consists of 4 moves:  burpees, power jumps, switch kicks and jabs.  Just like above she takes you through the circuit once and then you are to repeat it again 2 more times on your own.  Enjoy!

Don't forget to cool down and stretch!

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Get Fit Fast Bootcamp #2

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout + Tuesday's Trunk and Core BeFit GO/Blogilates

I spent most of yesterday at the vet with my dog--poor baby.    This is him.  Isn't he cute?

So since I didn't get to post yesterday, I'm including a short abdominal challenge to the end of the wild workout.

Keeping up with my shorter workout theme for the holiday season, this week's  wild workout comes from BeFit GO.  It is a 10 minute tabata workout that features 2 groups of 2 exercises doing each exercise for 20 seconds on 10 seconds rest for 4 rounds each targeting the legs and chest.  Since there is only 10 seconds of rest in between exercises, it is quite an intense cardio workout as well.

Please do a warm up on your own, and don't forget to stretch afterward--they do a couple, but not enough.

If you don't have a medicine ball, don't worry about it.  Do regular push-ups and hold a weight between your hands for the sit ups--or do them without any weight.  I couldn't get the video to link directly.  Click on the title below to get to the workout.

10 Minute Tabata Legs and Chest Workout

The ab workout challenge is from  blogilates.  It called "Waist Slimming POP Pilates to Wings by Little Mix."  In this challenge, there is a modification box in the the upper left corner to follow if the move she's doing is too challenging.
