Tabata Extra: Start of Week 6

The Start of week 6

The halfway point in this journey.  Its amazing how fast it goes by.  We will be measuring this week and taking halfway pictures.  I know already you will be shocked at the results thus far.

Today's workout was solid proof of how far they have come.  This is no easy workout but the MOOsers made it look very manageable and took it in stride just like every other workout.  And to add, they pushed weight and took it up a notch.

The workout was Tabata Extra:

1. Step ups
Lateral Hop Burpees

2. Pull ups/Jumping Pull ups
See Saw Press

3. Goblet Lunges
Band Squat Row

40 seconds of work 20 seconds rest.  Complete 4 rounds of each.    Here's a video of todays action:

All measurements and pictures should be completed by Friday, so stay tuned to see the MOOsers progress

Moosers Getting Stronger by the Day

Freaky Strength Friday today

Station 1
Kettlebell Deadlift
Push ups on toes

Station 2
Box Squat
Rows

Station 3
Push Press
DB Snatch

All reps are 3 sets of 4-6 reps alternating each set.  Rest for 1 minute after completing each exercise once

Here is an awesome video of Andrea and Lynn doing push ups on their toes.  Quite the dramatic increase in strength since day one

Quality Work

I am loving the intensity on Cardio Days.

The MOOsers are rising to the challenge and hitting it head on with everything they've got.  I have two videos today.  One of the middle of the workout, and one of the very last set.  Its hard to tell via video, but on the last set, everyone takes it up a notch to beat their 'numbers' (a way to maintain or up their intensity).

Here is what they did

Box Squats
Burpees
Battleropes
Sprints

30 seconds of work 30 seconds rest.  Repeat for 6 rounds or 24 minutes of work

And here are those videos:

And the finisher video:

PHA...what does it stand for?

Todays workout was so much fun to teach...well all of them are, but some are just a bit more fun than others.  Today was one of those workouts

PHA is the name and the format is 30 seconds of work 10 seconds transition.  Complete 8 rounds continuously.  Anyone know what PHA stands for?  Or maybe what it should stand for?

Dumbbell Snatch
Atomic Push ups/Push ups
Battleropes/Broad Jump Burpee
Kettlebell Box Squats

Here's the video of todays workout.  The MOOsers killed it

The MOOsers have one more week before measurements and the halfway point!  I know its going way too fast!  You can expect mid way pictures and measurement progress reports right here on this blog.  There are several workouts to be completed and several meals to be eaten before then, which means a lot of progress can be made before measurements.

But I can tell you this, I can see changes in their bodies, all of them.  They are changing their lives and getting stronger by the day.  You can't help but be inspired by their effort, consistency, and desire.

Cardio Day...as you've never seen

Moosers got a shift in their thinking about Cardio Day today.

They took it on with courage, and fought every step of the way.  There were a lot more bent over bodies during the rest and a lot more time was spent on the floor recovering from each and every work period, but they made it and pushed through.

Today's workout was 30:30.  So same work time but half the rest.  They MOOsers did 6 rounds or 24 minutes of work/rest.  And like I said, they did awesome:

Sprints
Battleropes
Burpees
Sky and Ground Squats

Here's the video footage of todays effort:

Bill's Revelation

Ha, that title just makes me laugh because today we got some good footage of Bill at his finest.

Todays workout:

Renegade Row Push ups
Goblet Squat 25  second hold 8 reps then hold
