A 500 Challenge – With provisions for enclosed spaces

June 28, 2011 By Adrienne Leave a Comment

My intensive small group participants are really starting to have fun with their workouts – and just as exciting you can really see the healthy changes happening almost right before your eyes.   They’ve all lost between 3-8 pounds each or more without any super drastic changes to their diets – mindful portions and avoiding junk food.  Nothing extreme.

So tonight was a make up session for the Monday which was rained out – the weather again looked bad so we made plans to check out the courtyard if we needed to – thing was, we wanted to be sure not to cause any property damage (one of the participants is employed by the property!!) or other problems.   I came up with a challenge workout that would have options for non-ballistic movements if necessary, and that would mostly keep us up off the ground.

 

Do 4 Rounds of the following in your best time:

  • 20 Swings OR 20 Burpees
  • 20 Presses (10 per side – if you are uncomfortable cleaning the kb, use the special deadlift + one hand over the other method of getting the kettlebell into the rack position)
  • 20 1-leg deadlifts (10 per side)
  • 20 Push Ups
  • 20 Squats with Upright Row (2 distinct movements)
  • 25 Russian Twists (right side left side = 1)
