That one was intense from beginning to end. The Mountain Climbers (was wearing 2.5lbs AW) got the heart rate going, and it stayed pumping throughout. The Short Outrun and Foot fire combo had me needing to break for water. I will be doing this one again soon. Great all around.
This one beat 187 cals out of me in 27 min.0 -

Hope I explained that okay! If not just ask
I did the girly version of this....
5 pound weights
Easy setting
But I was scared! And it was 8pm and I am usually a morning workout person!
But I enjoyed it and think that I will move up to medium when I do it again. I am thinking this could be a good sat or sun workout for me. I try not to do too much on the weekends to give myself a break, but this was short and I loved that the rest of my body was just relaxing laying on the floor in between reps!
EA calories burned: 88
HRM calories burned: 1530 -

Thats awesome! I like the fact that it isolates your upper body too... It's nice to lay down through it. I thought you guys might get bored with the amount of reps! lol. I used to do this workout when I had my bench, before EA, but I love how the trainer keeps you going! Thanks, glad you liked it. For me next is Skavilles workout! (then yours) It's cool being summer now and more outside activity, we can add these short workouts to our schedule, and stay active! Thanks everyone for posting workouts, and Jac for a brilliant idea!0 -
So gentlemen... What do we do now? Do we wait a week to see if others will join in? Each make up a few? Drop it?
I had fun this week and would live to keep it up, but don't want to be a pain in the *kitten* since there seems to be only 4 of us...0 -
Here's my suggestion.
It's upper body and core. No cardio in here so perhaps it could be sandwiched between a couple of more active workouts?
"Upper body with core"
==================
Shoulder rotations
Knee tucks
Rainbow squats
Hip circles
==================
Hammer curls with narrow shoulders
Flutter kicks
Squats with biceps curls
Leg raises
Lateral shoulder raises
Crunch with punches
Shoulder presses
Overhead triceps extensions
Bent arm side planks
Push ups
Reverse crunches
Triceps kickbacks
Hammer curls
Squats with shoulder presses
=======================
Arm across and pulls
Figure 4's
Leg over
Sideways ankle pulls
Time: 26:40
Setting: Hard
Wow, Ready to out and Fist Pump now! I used 20s and dropped down for the laterals. THAT workout should have been in the 9week program! Great workout!

I say we keep going. I am definitly going to make some additional workouts. This week was great. I thought these workouts were worthy of one of the 9 week workouts. Your lower body with core was just amazing. 42 weeks ago I did not think I would have been able to keep up, heck I didn't even know what some of these exercise were 42 weeks ago LOL. But now I say bring it on. Let the challenges continue.
Will post a workout tomorrow for next week.0 -

Stixx... you are the "Power Pyramid" Master using 20 lbs.
Did Stixx's workout yesterday and today I really feel it across my chest! It's quite deceptive as you don't tend to notice it too much when you are doing the actual routine.
This is also a great opportunity to give your room ceilings a good inspection and note what needs attention!0 -
Haha, that's a good one Ska.... Yeah It's repetitious but it really does target that group well. Jac the 10 and 2 oclock really kills me, I always keep my dumbells at 20lbs bc I dislike moving plates around, although it's not enough for bicep curls and too much for lateral raises. 10 is good too. You want shaky arms at the end and to feel it the next day! Are we posting new routines this week? I stll have lower body with abs to do. Hmmmm New routines.... thinking, thinking... 0
-
Yeah... Go ahead and post new custom routines group. Also we can repeat some if need be. I posted one workout so far to start us off for this week.
>>>>>As a side challenge for this week: Try to drink 2 more >> 8 oz cups / 0.23 Liters << of water over what you normally drink throughout the day. (I think I drink about 12 cups a day so I will try to drink 14 cups.)0 -

Wonderful lineup once again. embclark. My legs are going to feel that tomorrow LOL. My hips might also from those leg raises. I still do not know if I am doing those exactly right. I also did workout 5 of 12 from the 3 week easy line up prior to this, so I used that as a warmup. I am enjoying the boxing. The Mountain boarding and biking are fun and challenging at the same time.0 -

Thanks Stixx... that was extremely challenging. Great name for that workout. My arms and core are trembling to about a 6.0 on the richter scale. :laugh: I think that is the most Push Ups I have done in one day. The Leg Raise and the Reverse Crunch combo was killer. Simply amazing workout that literally pushed to the limit.

I've done all but the last workout for this week, all great! Just haven't had as much effort to post when finished this week...
"Core Cracker" was just now and it was great! BUT "reverse crunches" is NOT a cool down! :-)
I added on a bit more cardio at the end just to get me goin a bit more...0 -
I just took a scroll through my medals and realized that since mid January I have done 90 workouts! I need 10 more for another medal! Also, there are a handful of medals I haven't gotten yet, so lookout for my workouts to all consist of very specific activities!
I think it said I have 71/88 medals. How many do you guys have?
Question though! We earn a medal for trying each activity and it says that I need 6 more. How do I know what I haven't tried without going through every activity?0 -

^^^^ Got through this one^^^^^ tonight.
Burned 177 cals in 28 minutes.
A nice sweat inducing workout. And with the Cardio kickstart workout I did before hand, I scored the Pumping Iron and the Brick Wall Milestones tonight.... Sweeeet. So that brings me to a total of 83. I only need two more for the fitness sampler milestone but do not know which ones I need so maybe a systematic approach might help narrow that down. I know I have done most of the events. I really need the Basketball shoot, Mountain boarding & biking, and the Fitness trail events.
Good night group.0 -
