Two Days, get some ketchup!

I mean, er Catch up.  There has been so much talk about ketchup, I guess I got a little caught up :)

Yesterday's workout was straight forward and to the point with PHA (Peripheral Heart Action).  Here's what the MOOsers did:

PHA

Kettlebell Swings
Push ups
Sky and Ground Squats
Rows

30 seconds of work 10 second transition.  Repeat for 8 rounds without scheduled rest.

Then, we did a cardio ab tabata finisher (you'll have to ask the MOOsers what that means ;)

Here's the video from that workout:

Today's workout was Cardio Day and the MOOsers rose to the occasion making dramatic improvements upon their previous workouts.  I must say I was thoroughly impressed with todays effort!  Well done everyone.

Todays workout: 30 seconds high intensity 60 seconds recovery.  Complete 4 rounds

Battleropes
Sprints
Step ups
Speed Rows

Here's that video:

Tonight is Metabolism Makeover class and we will be talking about meal planning.  This is one of the biggest topics in the entire Metabolism Makeover class so it will be vital for the MOOsers to apply what they learn.

Hittin' the Cardio

Another Cardio Day today for the MOOsers.  Their progress is mind blowing as they are surviving Cardio Day like they have been doing it for at least 12 weeks.  Their endurance is dramatically improving as is their confidence.

Today's cardio was:

Sprints
Burpees
Battleropes
Sky and Ground Squats

4 Rounds

A lot of the usual suspects in a Cardio Day and we are edging closer to making a change in the format, going from 30 seconds high intensity and 60 seconds rest to 30 seconds high intensity and 30 seconds rest.

Here's a sampling of todays workout:

Week 2: Off Week for Campers, but not for MOOsers

Back at it after celebrating the first week.  It only gets easier and harder at the same time folks! ;)

Tomorrow...Another Cardio Day :)  They always make me smile

Freaky Fat Loss Friday...WITHOUT Ben????

So where was Ben this morning?

It doesn't really matter :)  Because Amy took the MOOsers through their Fight Gone Bad for Friday!

Todays workout:

Frog Hops
Step ups
Push ups
Squat Press
Rows

50 seconds of work 10 second transition.  Complete all five exercises then rest for 1 minute.  Repeat 4 times.

Thanks Amy for filling in while Ben was....well, away :)

Tomorrow the MOOsers take a tour of the grocery store to become better and smarter shoppers.  Great first week MOOsers!  It does get easier after this!

Cardio Day #2: BRING IT

The MOOsers are adapting VERY well to the workouts.  Which makes me smile because I can push them more. :)

Seriously, they are killing it in just the first week.  This may be our most successful group collectively in the three years we have had this contest.

Todays workout was of course cardio with 30 seconds of work and 60 seconds recovery.  We had four exercises that we went through four times.  They were:

Sprints
Step ups
Battleropes
Burpees

Here's that video:

The MOOsers also started their Metabolism Makeover class today and will be going to the Grocery store on Saturday for a crash course on how to grocery shop and make the best choices.

Tomorrow ends the first week of the MOOsers which is traditionally the hardest: Freaky Fat Loss Friday :)

Wednesdays Dirty Dozen Workout

This session has been one of our most challenging we have ever had with the workout sequences we are doing.  Today we continued that trend with another tough one.  The moosers did great pushing their own intensity levels and shining through.

Today we had Stephanie, Bruce, Paula, Bill, Maygan, Jenn (Maygan's new partner), Lynn, Andrea, Abby, and Rita workout to From Russia with Love.  Here is that workout:

Kettlebell Swings
Split Push Press
Goblet Squat
DB Snatches
Alternating Lunges

50 seconds of work 10 seconds transition.  Complete 5 rounds resting 1 minute after completing each round.

Tomorrow the majority of the Biggest MOOsers will have their first Metabolism Makeover Nutrition class, the first step in changing their nutrition habits.  I'll also be sure to have a video for you tomorrow on their second Cardio Workout.

On a side note be sure to check out the MOOsers personal blogs to the right of this post.  We have some up so far and are looking to get all teams to participate.  As you check this blog daily be sure to check out their blogs too!

Moosers experience their first Cardio Day

Today was the first of many Cardio Days for the Biggest MOOsers.  And no there are no treadmills or ellipticals here.  As you will see our Cardio Days are way more exciting, more challenging, and more effective.  Here's what we did today:

30 seconds high intensity work followed by 1 minute recovery.  Go through the four exercises four times

Lateral Hop Burpee/Burpee
Sprints
Frog Hops
Battleropes

As you will see in the video, I forgot I had it running, so its a little boring but at the same time you can hear  what's being said during rest periods and when others have no idea the camera is rolling.
