My Workout Today

I'm going to tell you my workout from today. You may not be able to do everything right now, but hopefully it can open your mind a little bit about how to be creative with the equipment you have, if you belong to a gym and have access to it.

  1. Plank on SB: Forearms on SB, Feet on Bosu ball, black side up. Then rolled the ball in and out with my arms. You can try this first with out the Bosu ball.
  2. Put toes on ball, hands on black side of Bosu, which made my body lie straight, and rolled the ball in to my stomach and back.
  3. Pushups: both hands on 4 lb medicine balls, feet on 6 lb medicine ball. Great for core.
  4. Squats with 18 lb dumbbell with Blue resistance band tied to each end. The middle of the resistance band was under my feet to hold the tension.
  5. Repeat that segment.
  6. Romanian Deadlift and Back Fly while bent over. Use heavy weight, at least 15 lbs. Make sure to keep your back straight! Only bring the weight down barely past your knees. You're not seeing how far you can reach. If you bend your back you'll feel it in your lower back instead of your hamstrings.
  7. Side Lunge on Blue side of Bosu, do a shoulder press on the way up. 15 x each leg.
  8. Pullup with a cable bar underneath my feet for support.
  9. Cable Rotation with heavy weight (27 lbs).
  10. Repeat that segment.
  11. 1 Leg Box Step up with Blue Resistance Band. Put RB under the foot on the box, and hold the handles at your shoulders. As you come up, the RB will give you tension.
  12. Bicep Curl punches with the RB. Step on the RB and stand with feet spread out to create more resistance, and punch up, like an upper cut, with each hand holding the RB.
  13. Triceps Extension overhead while lunging backward. Stand straight with your arms overhead with a weight, or medicine ball, as your back leg lunges back, your arms move back behind your head at the same time for a triceps ext.
  14. Repeat that segment.
That took me 45 minutes to complete that and I burned 600 calories. It felt gooooood.

Hopefully this will give you some ideas of how you can mix things together and how you never have to do the same workout twice. Good thing, or I would have stopped working out a long time ago :)
