Upper Body & Core – Let It Go Workout

Mar 10, 2012 by Tatianna

 

Hi Everyone,

I switched it up again! We have to have fun working out don’t we? Today’s workout was focused on the upper body and core and it was a follow up routine to yesterday’s “ Bubble Butt Workout “. I hope you’re guy’s butt was as sore and bubbly as mine!

Right now I am focusing a bit more on building muscle so the intervals that I picked were a bit longer than usual, but because all the exercises are combos the time flies pretty fast.

Make sure you watch the workout recap part of the video, where I go over the proper form for every exercise and give you variations for beginners if you don’t have the equipment I am using.

In this workout I used my Gymboss Max timer, a chair, Pull-Up bar ( I just ordered a new one cause my old one is all beat up ), a balance disc ( you can use a medicine ball instead ), and my 40 lbs VersaFit Bag from Power Systems and My Pink Lebert .

This workout is about 22 minutes long but you will remember it for the next 3 days ;).

Workout explanation

 

Make sure you do a good warm-up before starting this routine and always remember, proper form is more important then the amount of reps.

Set your timer for 2 intervals. The first interval is 15 seconds ( rest interval ) and the second interval is 2 minutes ( max effort interval ), for the total of 10 rounds. You will go through the following 5 combos twice. ( If you feel brave enough then you can do this routine 3 times instead of 2, but since it’s my first upper body workout since my break 2 rounds was enough for me.)

 

• The Posh Combo ( I thought that was a cute name ) ( watch workout explanation )
• Pick-Up and Press Up Combo
• Diagonal Touch & Pike-Up Combo
• 2 Wide Grip Pull-Ups & 2 Push-ups on a balance disc ( or a medicine ball )
• 3 Back Lifts, Push-Off & 3 Jump Forward

 

PS – Since it’s the weekend, don’t forget to do your Total Body Stretching Routine.
