Saturday's Workout: Dirty 30
Autumn's Inspirational Quote of the Day: "You can't wish for it, you have to work for it"
No genie in a bottle, baby (I am feeling some Christina today!)
Equipment: 2 sets of weights (light and heavy), mat (optional)
Total Workout Time: 27:41
Set up: 4 circuits, 2 exercises each circuit, repeated, 1 minute per exercise
Exercises:
Warm-up (around 2 and a 1/2 minutes): jog, jumping jacks, windmills (arm circles front and back), over the tops (side lunge and reach overhead to the side right and left), alternating toe taps (legs straight, touch opposite toe); repeat.
Circuit 1: 2 exercises, repeated, 1 minute each
Alternating Side Lunge: holding weights, step into a side lunge with the right leg, framing bent leg with weights, step feet together, go to the left side
Renegade Row: in plank position, holding one weight in your right hand, row elbow up for 30 seconds, then switch weight to left hand.
Repeat
Circuit 2: 2 exercises, repeated, 1 minute each
Sumo Row: in sumo squat position (feet wide apart, toes turned out), hold weights in front of you, go down into sumo squat while raising weights up to chest (keep your elbows high), stand and lower weights
Repeat
Circuit 3: 2 exercises, repeated, 1 minute each
Squat with Lateral Raise: start standing with weights by your sides, lower into a squat while you lift weights up to chest height out to the sides, stand up and lower arms.
Tricep Kickback: stand with feet together, back at 45° angle, abs in, arms hanging. Pull arms up so elbows are bent and push weights to the back wall, return to bent position
Repeat
Circuit 4: 2 exercises, repeated, 1 minute each
Side Bend (30 seconds each side): holding one weight, slide it down your leg as low as you can while bending your torso for 30 seconds on the right side, switch weight and repeat on the left.
Side Plank (30 seconds each side): get in a plank position with the bottom knee down, top leg straight, on your elbow, other arm up. Lift and lower the top leg for 30 seconds, quickly switch and repeat on the other side.
Repeat
Cooldown: about 2 and a half minutes
Personal Opinions and Difficulty: I think this is a really good, all-over workout. Just about every muscle group is worked. Did we get dirty? I know we got sweaty!
Difficulty: 4/5 Difficult, but not impossible. Can be made more difficult, of course, by upping the weights.
Enjoyment: 5/5 I enjoy this one a lot and the variety helps it to go by quickly.
Overall: 5/5 Great, varied total body workout that is fun!
