in Fitness and Exercise
So here is a work out that I am going to try here shortly. It should be noted I had a rest day yesterday. Something tells me I will need it for this work out! It is a workout by Tony Horton and Mark Briggs that I nabbed from Mark Briggs off of facebook. I'm just going to copy and paste it here. Any one else want to try it with me? I will post how I did later on tonight! Wish me well :laugh:

"This newest one come from none other than Tony Horton. Tony and I are always looking for new ways to push each other (Well, its usually him kicking MY *kitten*, but.......), so he sent this to me to see what I could do. Here is how it works: 20 reps of each movement (unless otherwise specified), and you move from one move to the next with as little rest as possible.

Most of these movements (for abs) come from the Ten Minute Trainer ab workout, but I've also mixed in a few from Ab Ripper X. I selected random leg movements from P90X and the One on One series.


LEGS AND ABS MASSACRE

1. Squats (feet shoulder width)
2. Cross Crunch
3. Hot Foot (20 hops per leg)
4. Bridge Crunch
5. Toe Roll Iso-Lunge (20 per leg)
6. Iso Bike
7. Leap Frog Squats (20 front/20 back)
8. Golden Gate
9. Double Airborne Heisman
10. Side Arm O’Crunch (20 per side)
11. Three Position Calf Raise (20 each position - toes out, toes front, toes in)
12. Hip Lift Kick (20 per side)
13. Jump Shot
14. Speed Bike (like Iso-bike, but fast)
15. Side to Side Squats (focuses on the glutes)
16. Plank O’Crunch (same side knee to same side elbow - alternate for 20 reps)
17. Swing Kicks
18. 3 Point Plank Crunch (knee to same side elbow, to forehead, to opposite elbow -
10 per leg for 20 total reps)
19. Pliate Squats (legs wide, toes pointing out)
20. Lolasana (from plank, jump feet in to chest, balance on one foot, jump back
out to plank)
21. Lateral Leap Frog Squats
22. The Dawn (from forearm plank, raise and lower rib cage - tuck pelvis)
23. 80/20 Speed Squats (20 per leg)
24. Mountain Climbers (20 reps per leg)
25. Mary Katherine Lunges (20 reps per leg)
26. Superman Crunch (20 reps of superman, alternated by rolling to back for crunches)
27. Close Stance Squats (knees and feet together, squat for light touch on stool or chair)
28. Tick Tock Lift
29. River Jumps
30. Peek-a-boo (on your back, legs together and out away at 45 degrees -

    I just did it! After a year and a half of p90x and other beachbody programs it really wasnt all that difficult. It's the fast paced while maintaining good form that kicked my butt and I have to say my thighs are feeling pretty warm right now to because I decided to add ten pound dumbbells to intensify the squats a little more. I also added 20 point dumbbells to the three position calf raises.

    I completed this routine in 30 minutes and fifteen seconds. By exercise number 18, 3 point plank crunch, I was really starting to feel it.

    If anyone else tries this let me know how you do! I personally still think P90X legs and back and P90X core synergistics are the most challenging workouts EVER.

    Beats me! Because it only took me a half hour to complete I'm going to guess maybe five hundred at the most. If anyone does this with a body bug let us know!
