Or listen to some MONSTER music:

A little swearing, but here's rapper Eminem and Rihanna: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8DzY2gNMrQ

Or the (Christian) heavy metal rock band, Skillet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT2xNc5ZcwI

Interesting accent and a little calmer, Imagine Dragons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhSA9H9Iaqw

And my kind of MONSTER (it's visual!) !!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxZceNN40FA

Hi Chani.. can not watch You Tube here. ..Scariest monster to me is bone collector from Dexter.
My monster monday started with 200 push ups and 50 bicep curls 8lbs.
Snowing here in CT but only a couple of inches.

Sorry Sims that you can't see the monster video, but I googled Dexter, and yikes, that series sounds gruesome. My son would love it - not telling him about it though! He watched Grim (I think it's called) and it was so, well, yucky! The people are monsters!

Did 10 minutes on stationary bike!

Tried Zumba. Gave up. Pass the dumbbells!

@ Sims, good, did a few short runs last week and got a 9 miler in on Saturday. Legs are still a little tired, but of course I'm not resting them either :ohwell: I have a half scheduled for this weekend, we'll see how things go.

Still can only crank out 6 push ups with good form and as the day goes on they get much tougher.

10 minutes of beating up the monster . . . oh wait, being a mighty monster . . . whatever. . . I got in a 10 minute workout with weights. It was boring.

I'm so bored. I'm trying the squat hold with punches! Here I go!

simsburyjet

we do that squat hold in insanity.. Have you ever done an Arnold Press?
http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/DeltoidAnterior/DBArnoldPress.html

on these exercises you can go lighter weight to start.. I think its an 8 count. side up in out in out side down

Looks easy but it is not. Do this in Body pump I use 12 lbs after doing push ups then we grab a full bar and do presses.
Highway to Hell is one of the songs. Fast life is another one.

850 push ups and 125 bicep curls..

chani8

Did 3 sets of 30 second squat hold and punches!

I tried incorporating the Arnold Press into my routine but the rotation movement is too hard on the rotator cuffs. I'm fragile. LOL

I'm calling it a day, folks. Have a great one! I'll try to remember to look here for your thread title ideas for Tuesday. Got any?

Tough Tuesday
Tarzan Tuesday
Train Tough Tuesday

Actually, I might not be online much tomorrow. I do hope to get a quick workout in the morning, before the day gets hectic. We'll see.

simsburyjet
