Fight Club: June 5

For the past few weeks, my stupid alarm has gone off at the ungodly time of 6am and I have been going to bootcamp Fight Club.

Oops.

We typically do about 2-3 circuits, 3 times each. Then on "Fun Thursdays" we usually have some sort of obstacle course race. Which actually is fun (and not "fun" in the way that some sadistic trainers use it).

We did this this circuit this morning and it should take about 20 minutes (15 if you don't take any breaks, but let's face it, sometimes you gotta breathe move to the next position). I think he times a 15-30 second break between each move and maybe a minute between each repetition.

• 1 min jumping rope: just to get your heart rate up
• 1 min plank: on your hands, not on your elbows aka push up position, butt down.
• 1 min alternating curtsey squats: right curstey, middle/regular squat, left curtsey, middle squat, etc... we held a dumbell at eye level while doing this. don't let it drop, you'll get a nice shoulder burn while doing the squats.
• 1 min '180' burpees: burpees (with a push-up, no girly ones ;)) but when you jump up, turn 180 degrees. alternate which direction you turn (i.e. don't always go clockwise)
• 1 min bicycle crunches: because, what's more fun than riding a bike?

What's your Fight Club plan for the summer?
