March 19th Workout Challenge! Step up your workout!

Hi all,

Just wanted to give you a little workout challenge! You can incorporate this into your cardio or weight workout, but save it for the end!

Alright here it is, you will complete 3 rounds. Preform each exercise for 45 seconds and take 15 seconds of rest in between each exercise (make sure you set up before you start). When you complete each round take anywhere from 1:30 sec of rest to 3:00 minutes depending on your physical activity level!

Workout: 


  • TRX Mountain Climbers 
    • If you don't have a TRX available you can do regular mountain climbers
    • Make sure that you keep your butt down and engage your core 
    • Pace yourself to ensure you make it through the 45 seconds 

  • Med Ball Slams 
    • Pick a weight that you feel comfortable with between 6-20 pounds
      • I choose 10 pounds and that was plenty 
    • Make sure you are sitting in your squat 
    • When you bring the ball above your head make sure you come up on your toes 
    • Catch and repeat
    • If you don't have a med ball, do squat jumps! 

  • Battle Ropes (little waves)
    • Sit in a squat 
    • Make sure the rope as a little bit of slack before you start
    • Keep your chest up and make sure NOT TO ROUND YOUR BACK 
    • ENGAGE THAT CORE!!! :) 

  • High Plank Jumping Jacks w/ Hop In
    • If the hop in is too much, just do the high plank jumping jacks 
    • Make sure you keep your butt down 
    • PACE YOURSELF 


  • Split Jumps
    • Keep your chest up 
    • Make sure you have securely landed before you jump again 
    • Use your arms to help with momentum (30% comes from upper body) 
    • Again, pace yourself 

Alright all GOOD LUCK!!! You are going to crush it! :)
