AMReps II

Complete as many reps as possible in 5 min. for each of the following movements.  Rest 1 minute between each.

burpees
situps
Aussie pullups
lunge switches (R+L=1)

Post reps completed for each exercise to comments.

--------------------------------

If it has been a while since you did those Aussies - BE CAREFUL! Overdoing these can cause severe soreness, swelling, or injury.  If you are new to this movement, or if it has been a while, cap your reps at 50, or so.  Maybe even less if you are a STONE COLD rookie (of course, this can be said of ANY of the movements above).

Does the clock stop after five minutes or do you just go for twenty?

[AF]

I bet there is one minute rest between each exercise

[Neil]

Deb - AF's got it. I clarified it on the post.

[Jode]

Hey all, thanks for the responses and the answer about working out and taking a break when sick. I totally crashed yesterday at 2:00pm. Getting hit hard so I am going to listen to my trainer and take off. I will "see" ya all back on Monday. Have a great weekend.

Going strong with no sugar. Being sick, I seriously keep wanting turn to sugar to give me a boost throughout the day. But, my kids gotta eat.

Any advise on what can I substitute for the Aussies? Thanks.

[stacey (kansas)]

I bowed out on the Rx exercises instead I completed:
jump rope - 700
sit ups - 125
push ups (chest touched floor) 70
tic tocs (no weight) 252 (R-L=2)

i also did 10 knee raises on pull up bar & 20 knees to elbows on pull up bar (hung the bar on my bedroom door, so everytime i go in i have to complete either pullups, knee raises or K2E. I can already tell that i am stronger.

If you can find somethig stable, at home, that you can angle yourself under to do the Aussie pullups, that will work. Like the bar of a treadmill or the frame of your outdoor trampoline. A good alt for Aussies is a squat/row with a med/ heavy resistance band. Demo is on YouTube in the GPP workouts. Those will work:)

[Buff]

Did the workout! Fun having chels back! Also still do not like aussies..
I forgot my rep #s.. blast.
I ran 3.41. meh.

Full week of 6 GPP workouts accomplished. I did last Sat workout on Monday and shifted the rest, so I had to workout on Sat (which I usually don't do) to complete the Mon-Fri cycle. I think I'll stick with the regularly scheduled programming from now on. I prefer not to do burpees at 8:30 in the morning on Saturday. Feels good now that it's done, though.
