In June I first did this workout and I completed it in 9 min and 50 seconds and this time it took me 10 minutes and 16 seconds. It is nice when you beat your previous time, reps or score but I am not too concerned with it. I think it is best that you get the workout in to the best of your ability every time and I know that our best changes. Often I will beat my previous time or reps and that always feels great. Keep striving for that, but don’t be overly concerned about it. If you are working hard consistently and listening to your body, taking breaks once in awhile to give your body a rest, but keeping with the workouts you will be getting better! Sometimes it is not apparent right away but keep pushing yourself to do more and you will do more. Be consistent and keep working hard!
Exercise Descriptions
Starting in high plank position, bring one knee out to side and up towards same side elbow and return, repeat with other knee and continue alternating sides for each knee tuck.
Lie back with knees bent, feet on floor, holding sandbag overhead, sit up while raising sandbag up as high as you can, then lie back bringing sandbag back overhead. This is one rep.
Standing with legs shoulder width apart, hold onto middle handle of sandbag with both hands. Hold it low, at or just between legs, and swing up so that arms are parallel to ground at shoulder height. Squeeze glutes and push with hips as you swing the bag forward and up, let your hips do most of the work. Then let the bag come back down to just between legs and repeat. Each swing up is one rep.
Half Burpee with Sandbag Clean and Press
Start standing with sandbag on the ground just in front of you, reach down and grab sandbag with its lateral handles and holding handles press down and jump your legs back, then jump your legs back in and come up to standing bringing sandbag up and doing a clean and press by flipping sandbag onto the back of your hands and pressing it up towards the ceiling, then bring sandbag down, uncurl at waist area and return to ground. This is one rep.
Burpee with Grasshopper Kick and Jumping Jack
Standing with feet hip width apart, squat down and place hands on ground in front of you, jump legs back into plank position, do a push up and then kick one leg out to opposite side underneath body and as foot comes out reach down with hand on the side closest to it (opposite hand to foot that is kicking) and touch toe as it kicks, bring foot and hand back to plank position and jump legs back in and stand up and do a jumping jack. Alternate sides for the grasshopper kick for each rep.
