Friday Workout

I took my dog to the vet the other day for her "day at the spa" and while I was waiting, I went to a park to get a workout in. Here's what I did.

I jogged around this field one time just as a little warm up. Then I did some sprints. First I would sprint just maybe 5 yards. Then walk back. Then sprint again adding another five yards onto what I sprinted before. Walked back again. Kept doing this until I was sprinting about 30 yards or so.

Then it was time to start the workout.

I got down and did a bear crawl for about 20 feet. Then I stood up and did one Pushup-Burpee Combination (meaning, I dropped down to the lower part of the burpee move, completed one pushup, then pulled my legs into my chest and jump straight into the air). Immediately after completing the jump part of the burpee, I sprinted the rest of the way to where I had finished on my last sprint in my warm up.

I then walked back to the starting point, waiting 30 seconds, and did the bear crawl again for 20 feet, and then did the Pushup-Burpee Combination twice (meaning, i dropped down, did one pushup, pulled the legs in and did a vertical jump, dropped back down into a pushup position and did another pushup, pulled the legs in and did a vertical jump), and finished with the sprint again. Walked back to the starting point, and rested 30 seconds.

I kept doing this over and over again and adding another Pushup-Burpee combination each time. My goal was to do 10 of them but, after the 8th one, I was pretty spent and decided to call it a day. Workout took about 25 minutes and it was great.

Remember efficiency in exercise. You don't need to spend hours and hours working out. A quick intense 20-30 minute workout is just as good for overall health, and even better for fat loss.

Have a good weekend.
