I wanted to go easy on myself for June 2nd’s workout, but I didn’t think this would be too easy. I intentionally started at 11:00PM since the workout will only take 12 minutes. You won’t be able to savor any breaks during Part 1 and Part 3 in this workout. I actually didn’t savor ANY breaks (since I kind of did Part 2 a little different than what was explained by Zuzana—I think I misunderstood.
Part 1:
9 rounds of 10 second/10 second interval (Set Tabata Clock to WORK: 10 REST: 10 ROUNDS: 9)—Kick Ups and Mountain Climber Peaks *Do as many reps as you can during the 10 second interval (kick-ups for the first 10 seconds, and then for the next 10 seconds, do the mountain climber peaks, and then back to the kick-ups and so on.... Really push hard, okay? Especially with the Mountain Climber Peaks—peak as high as you can.
Part 2:
9 rounds of 10 second/30 second interval (Set Tabata Clock to WORK: 30 REST: 10 ROUNDS: 9)—Side Planks (Left Up), Side Planks (Right Up), Prisoner Get Ups *Do as many reps as you can during the 30 second-interval. 10 seconds for rest (and taking down your reps) I actually did this a little different. (Which is so weird) So I did the planks alternately for the 30-second interval and then for each 10 second-interval I did the Prisoner Get Ups! I was like, “Fuck, I can only do 2 reps of this shit per 10 seconds. I must be doing something wrong!” Turns out, I DID do it wrong. Hahaha! Don’t make the same mistake! It should go like this:
- 30 seconds: maximum reps Side Planks (Left Side Up)
- 10 seconds: rest and write down how many reps you finished
- 30 seconds: maximum reps Side Planks (Right Side Up)
- 10 seconds: rest and write down how many reps you finished
- 30 seconds maximum reps Prisoner Get Ups
- …and so on and on until you finish the 9th round
Here’s my record, anyway:
Round 1: 7 Side Planks (Left Side Up)
2 Prisoner Get Ups
Round 2: 7 Side Planks (Right Side Up)
2 Prisoner Get Ups
Round 3: 8 Side Planks (Left Side Up)
2 Prisoner Get Ups
Round 4: 6 Side Planks (Right Side Up)
1 Prisoner Get Ups
Round 5: 7 Side Planks (Left Side Up)
2 Prisoner Get Ups
Round 6: 6 Side Planks (Right Side Up)
2 Prisoner Get Ups
Round 7: 7 Side Planks (Left Side Up)
2 Prisoner Get Ups
Round 8: 7 Side Planks (Right Side Up)
2 Prisoner Get Ups
Round 9: 8 Side Planks (Left Side Up)
*The Side Planks are extremely challenging, I lost my balance a couple of times.
Part 3:
9 rounds of 10 second/10 second interval (same as Part 1)—Plank Jumps and Knee Hugs *Plank position, feet apart, then jump both feet forward; do as many reps as possible and then go down on the mat and do Knee Hugs right away; keep your legs off the ground! Keep it tight! Keep it in! “Hug your knees”.
That’s basically it! I didn’t sweat as much as I usually do when I do the 600 Reps Workout. So I hated this particular workout. Also, I did Part 2 quite wrong, which makes me feel like this didn’t count as a good workout. I vow to stick to difficult workouts starting tomorrow (June 3, 2011)
