Body Rockin' all night long

Today I merged my own body rock routine to incorporate arms, legs, and abs. We also got a new piece of equipment, so I wanted to incorporate it into the routine too! This handy piece of equipment was not the easiest thing to use! I put it together, stuck it on the frame, and jumped up there half expecting to do 10 pull ups no problem. Boy was I wrong! This simple contraption makes you work for it!! I decided today to do a hanging leg raise. I am not sure I chose the best exercise, but this will take some getting used to before I become any type of master of this bar! So, here is the workout I created...





Workout: Should take about 12-14 minutes Do twice through
#1 15 Squats [I used a 5lb weight in each hand also]
#2 15 Push-ups
#3 15 Sumo squats
#4 15 Hanging leg raises [I kept my knees bent]
#5 15 Plank leg raises [I did 15 each leg]
#6 15 Tricep bar dips [since I had a bar I tried them, I usually do these on a chair]
[The first set took me 4:52 and the second set took me 4:07]

Ab Bonus:
100 Ab sequence: [legs bent: 10 straight, 10 left obliques, 10 right obliques; legs straight up: 10 straight, 10 alternating left and right. Repeat all with legs straight up.]
200 Oblique sequence: [50 punches and 50 side to side rock; do twice]
[The first 100 took me 2:13 and the second 200 took me 1:50]

Now I know what you are thinking...this seems like the easiest workout ever! And, when I got done that is exactly what I was thinking. I wasn't event sweating that much when I got done! However...as the night progressed I become more and more sore!! Don't ever take your workout for granted. Just because you are not poring sweat at the end of it, does not mean you have not worked! I will be taking Friday off again and will be back at it Saturday! I like splitting up my days off :) I feel less exhausted and more energized! Well, here's to the next workout! Until then...
