Adrenaline Hit

admin · August 4, 2011 · 6 Comments

I chose an advanced workout today. I really wanted to sleep, but somehow got my buns up and to the gym. I guess since I was feeling sluggish, I decided to throw myself into a super hard workout. Not sure that makes sense.

This workout was hard.  There were a few times during it when I was telling my phone to “shut up.” Mostly when the woman on the other end said, “you can do it!” I wasn’t so sure I could or that I wanted to.

But I did..I made it through. It always comes back to “no one ever regrets going to the gym.” That’s so true. I never do these grueling workouts and regret it afterwards. I’m always proud of myself and happy that I took on the challenge. During my exercises is a different story. That’s usually the time when I regret walking through the door (mountain climbers for a minute? I hate you Nike Trainer).

Anyway, here was the workout. It definitely was advanced, I was huffing and puffing the entire time.

Adrenaline Hit- Get Lean–Advanced

  • Back Pedal– 1 minute. This becomes challenging for me since the track at our gym curves several times. One of these days I’ll hit the wall, hopefully I don’t fall over the railing.
  • High Knee Runs– 1 minute
  • Walking Lunge– 1 minute
  • Light Jog– 2 minutes
  • Recover– 2 minutes
  • Squat Hold– 1 minute. Just chillin’ in a squat.
  • Plank Row to Burpee– 1 minute. I used 8 lb. weights.
  • Tuck Jumps– 30 seconds. I tried doing these as fast as I could but it was hard!
  • Mountain Climbers– 1 minute.
  • Single Leg Deadlift with Shoulder Press– 2 minutes. 1 minute on each leg. I used 8lb. weights.
  • Russian Twist– 1 minute. I used an 8lb. weight.
  • Broad Jumps– 1 minute. Ah, all these jumps were killin’ me today!
  • Recover– 1 minute.
  • 2 Feet Lateral Hops Distance– 2 minutes.
  • Walk Out Push Up to Swivel– 1 minute. These walkouts are harder than they look. It’s really hard for me to keep my legs straight when coming back up to standing.
  • Split Jumps– 30 seconds.
  • Plank Walks– 1 minute. A minute of these is a minute too long.
  • Squat Flips with 180 degree turn- 1 minute. I tried doing these fast, but I scared of getting dizzy.
  • Side Plank– 2 minutes, 1 minute on each side.
  • Recover– 30 seconds.
  • Squat Hold– 1 minute.
  • Plank Row to Burpee– 1 minute.
  • Tuck Jumps– 30 seconds.
  • Mountain Climbers– 1 minute.
  • Single Leg Deadlift with Shoulder Press– 2 minutes.
  • Russian Twists– 1 minute.
  • Broad Jumps– 1 minute.
  • Recover– 1 minute.
  • 2 Feet Lateral Hops Distance– 2 minutes.
  • Walk Out Push Up to Swivel– 1 minute.
  • Split Jumps– 30 seconds.
  • Plank Walks- 1 minute.
  • Squat Flips with 180 Degree Turn– 1 minute.
  • Side Plank– 2 minutes, 1 minute on each side.
  • Recover– 30 seconds.
  • Lower Back Stretch– 1 minute. Ah finally! I made it to the stretches!
  • Standing Hamstring Stretch– 2 minutes, 1 min. on each leg.
  • Pretzel Stretch– 2 minutes.

It was pretty brutal, so if you want a severe ass kicking give it a try!

If you’re unsure about an exercise, feel free to shoot me a message or comment and I’ll try to explain it to you.

    I love workouts like this — they are super tough but go by quickly since you’re moving from move to move.
