Workout Wednesday — what is up!?
I may have gone a little overboard with my enthusiasm for a pyramid workout. I wanted to switch things up by incorporating multiple toys into today’s routine. I’m not saying single equipment workouts (i.e. Booty Burner Tabata Workout) are not sweat-inducing, metabolism-enhancing, or effective on their own; but, I had feeling I could create a sizzlin’ workout with this weight triplet. I didn’t expect it to be the high-intensity cardio workout that it… but 60 burpees and plyometric squats will do that for you.
I completed 3 rounds of the September Sizzler indoors a la AC, but if it’s not triple digit weather in your neck of the woods, I encourage you to take it outside to a park (Slurp Up September tip #7).
What You’ll Need
- 1 kettlebell, 10-35lb.
- 1 pair of dumbbells, 5-15lb.
- 1 medicine ball, 6-12lb.
Exercises
- swings
- deadlift + high-pull
- pile jump squats: hold medicine ball with both hands in the center of your chest
- figure-8 or figure-8 and hold
- thrusters
- uneven push-ups
Notes
- move quickly from one move to the next
- to make the plank easier, break it up into 2 x 60 sec. planks or 4 x 30 sec. planks, etc.
- workout time: approx. 30-35 minutes
This looks awesome! I’m sure it works up quite a sweat. Thanks for sharing lady!
I have a love/hate relationship with jump squats. Burns so good. Lol.
Love this workout and I’m sure it leaves you dripping with sweat — always a good thing!
gotta have a love/hate relationship with thrusters!
I’ve never done much work with kettlebells, only because I don’t know where they are located in my gym. Maybe I should get on that!
Love plyometric workouts! I like the way you color coordinated the different equipment – it makes it super easy to read.
Awesome workout! I can’t wait to try this inside WITH the AC! :)
Truly a sizzler! I’ve done this one a few times now and I can feel myself getting stronger each time! I can only go up and down the pyramid twice…(and feel like puking after), but I have a goal to make it to 3 rounds eventually! Thanks again!
You’ll be to 3 rounds in no time — way to keep at it!
Pinningggg! I need to learn how to use a kettlebell so I don’t hurt someone.
Yes, you’ve gotta get on that girlie!
