Killer Workout

While Nancy was out running 8 miles, hankie, in hand, Becky was playing the role of couch potato.  It's not a role that Becky plays often, but when she does go spud, her performance is deserving of an Oscar.  It's now the morning after and Becky must make up for her lack of activity.  Because Becky believes misery loves company, she would like to share part of her workout with you, and encourage you to give it a whirl.  No handkerchief required.

Warm-up:  Five minutes on the Stair Mill (or affectionately dubbed the Stair Beast) First minute at level 12, the next 4 minutes at level 18.  Make sure you've got some good tunes.  Ah, that was fun.

Circuit 1:
--Walking lunges with weights, followed by 5 push-ups using the Bosu ball.  Talk about adding a challenge to those already challenging push-ups.  Whew.
--15 Incline press, followed by another 5 Bosu ball push-ups
--15 Assisted pull-ups, followed by yet another 5 Bosu ball push-ups
--15 Seated overhead press, followed by you guessed it....another 5.  Are we having fun yet?
--15 Alternate bicep curls, then.....you know the drill.
--15 Triceps pressdowns with the rope.  Ouch.  What a wonderful way to add a special twist to triceps work.

Before you repeat the workout above, do 2 minutes of jump rope, 1 minute of weighted jumping jacks (Go very light on the weight), then 2 more minutes of jump rope.

Oh, lest I forget, when you repeat the circuit instead of doing the push-ups, you vill do 10 Roman chairs vith straight legs, und you vill like it! Ya?

There is a second circuit as part of this workout, but perhaps we will save it for another day.
