"Around the World"



Today's Board

I have a workout that anyone reading this blog should be able to do.  It can be modified for your exercise level but try to complete it as is.   We did 8 pretty simple exercises, each for 10 reps at a time.  We did these exercises in a circuit format and did 10 rounds of the circuit totalling 800 reps.  This may sound like an enormous amount of repetitions (and it is) but with the exercises listed below it is very doable.  Go at your own pace but try to get through it as fast as you can. Our average time was around 35 minutes.  Doing exercises in this manner is a great way to get muscular endurance and a great cardio workout at the same time.  (see article)  Also don't ever sacrifice form over speed.  I link the exercises to pictures and videos that show proper technique for a reason.  If you cheat your form then you will cheat your muscles.  We did this workout in our gym but it could very easily be done at home with some slight modifications.  Good Luck and let me know how it goes!!!
