I had started a workout routine toward the end of last year, but it trailed off as it always does with me. So I've decided to try and step it up and I actually bought some gear at Sports Authority to help me out with some exercises. Here is the setup (yeah, basic and in my downstairs living room!)
Here is the routine (repeat twice):
5 min warm-up (20 drop and flats)
25 push-ups
10 Pull-ups
10 Dips
10 Pillar Ball Twists
10 Psoas Crunches
20 Regular Crunches
10 Oblique Crunches (each side)
10 Side Lifts (each side)
15 Supermans
Pillar Ball Plank Circles
20 Box Jumps
50 Jump Squats (tough!!!)
Here is how I look after a workout :-)
The jump squats are the real deal if you want a brutal exercise! I use my 10 foot long ice chipper (weighs about 15 pounds) and put that over my shoulder, then squat, and stand back up and jump an inch off the floor. Do 50 of those and you will barely be able to stand!
Watch here (the dude can barely make the last few - almost topples): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1twnrgm-1u4
Here is another one - supposedly ideal for mountain bikers - that is awfully hard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u-QOKAfNkU
Now if I can only keep it up!
