Thursday, April 4: Chest & Back + Short Cardio

10 Pushups (Any kind count. If you need to do them on your knees, that’s fine)
10 Supermans
Here is how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc6UVRS7PW4
10 Dumbbell Chest Press (If you don’t have a ball, it is fine to do these on a bench or on a mat)
Here is how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4JEgxsM9Eg
10 Bent Over Dumbbell Rows
Here is how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTxoeWXbsW4

Repeat for a total of 10 sets.

Short Cardio: Today is also a short cardio day. Any kind is fine (jogging, power-walking, biking, jumping rope, swimming, etc). Try to do something to get your heart-rate elevated for at least 15 minutes. If you can go longer, even better!

    I can't do the arm/ab stuff today because I'm still under doctor restrictions, but I'll get cardio.

    Well fellow challengers I am out for the next few weeks - bulging disk in my back is the diagnosis, treatment for the next 2 weeks and hopefully I will be back to cardio by then. Good luck everyone and keep going :happy:

    Forgot to check in yest! GOTERDONE! I have actually combined the arms, shoulders, chest and back into one workout that I am doing on Monday's and Thursday's. I found that the exercises, some of yours, some of mine worked both days, so, just put 'em all together and will do both days.

    Finished up with elliptical and recumbent bike.

    Happy Friday!

    Ok - My Tabata+Core class had tricep dips & push ups - not to a 100 but about 80 of each and then a 100 supermans so I think I'm okay. We also had cardio with lots of fast squats and kick backs/over off a box. I like this class - its both cardio and some really hard core work.
