Brutal Marine Corps Workout (7 DAY-CHALLENGE) Day 1

You all know how inclined I am to hardcore workouts. I am entering another killer challenge for the next 7 days. Let’s see how much weight and inches I will lose...

You will need to watch this video from [my favorite] www.BodyRock.tv

If you’re a beginner, I don’t recommend that you dive into this. But if you feel that you can handle it, go for it! But don’t tell me I didn’t warn you. I’ve been a BodyRocker for almost 2 years now and this workout still killed me. Read this for further explanations on the exercises and the whole workout itself.

I am now entering DAY 1 of my 7-DAY-CHALLENGE.I usually only use 1 page to record a day’s workout, but for tonight, I had to use 2 pages. From my penmanship, you can tell how much strength I was losing one routine after the other.

I used my favorite iPhone app of all time as my interval timer! You should definitely get this! It’s the GymBoss Interval Timer app! Perfect substitute for the Gymboss Interval Timer itself.

Part I: *set timer to 8 rounds of 10 second/20 second interval*

• 10 seconds REST
