The Great Ugi Adventure Burpee Workout for Abs est 35 min
2013
This Ugi burpee workout will show you how Ugi can be a real killer. This innocent looking, brightly colored weighted ball can really make a workout fun and help change up the workout routine, but it can be brutal too. I decided that I wanted an Ugi workout with 100 Ugi burpees in it. That was a crazy idea to start with. So, I chose and thought up 5 fun variations of burpees to do with Ugi, intermixed 10 reps of each with a great Ugi ab exercise, and then decided to do it all 2 times.
That was insane! ..and I will admit to you right off that I was modifying in the 2nd round. I’m not sure if it was the workout or me, but I think it was combining the Ugi with all the burpees that was such a killer. ..I mean in a fun way, but brutal. brutal fun. It would have to be at least a little fun and a challenge or I am not sure I could convince myself to do it. But the 2nd round of this Ugi workout truly was brutal and there were points where I was stepping back, instead of jumping, and doing push ups from my knees. Yup, this one brought me to my knees. But it was fun and challenging, and that helps you to move along through it.
It has some really fun and creative Ugi burpees. Lots of exercises built into the ‘burpees’ so you are getting lots of cardio action in and a great all over full body workout. And if you are like me, you will be feeling it the next day!
If you don’t have an Ugi, you can substitute most exercises with a sandbag, a medicine ball or do these with just bodyweight. Still a great workout!
