Intensity Workout - Friday Feb. 20th

I decided on a Routine before i entered the gym, something that is KEY if you want to really focus on your intensity, becasue it's all about getting the Workout done... not just going through the motions of what may or may not work, and resting, and thinkn ing about what's next.

If you are prepared... you go in with a specific plan of exercies, reps, Sets etc. Then you do it as fast/Intense as you can, until you are done. - the next time... try the same workout with same weight, but try and get it done Faster. That works Really Well on the workouts in previous posts... specifically the body Weight ones. - when you can do them relatively fast, or are not very fatigued.. it's time to switch it up, increase, weight or Reps, or a whole new program altogether. Keep it funa nd keep it interesting.

Here was the workout:
PART#1:
3 Exercises: Dips (Body weight) - Curls (65lb curl bar) - Hanging knee raises Straight legs

Pyramid: Do 5 of Each exercise, the 6, then 7, then 8, then 9 and then 10.
Rest if you need to and bring it back down beginning with 10, then 9,8,7,6 and finally 5.

PART #2:
3 More Exercises: - Squat (w/ 20lb medicine ball) - V-Ups - Box Jumps (30" Box)
Do 5 of Each, then 10, then 15, then 20
Rest and bring it down. 20, 15, 10 and 5

When it's done you'll have done the following in your total body workout:
90 Dips (Triceps, chest, shoulder)
90 Curls (Biceps, shoulder)
90 Hanging Knee raises (Abs)
100 Squats (Quads, Glutes)
100 V-Ups (Abs)
100 Box Jumps (Quads, Glutes, Calves)

My Total time: Just over 40 minutes. - I want to get it down to 30 minutes! or less!

FYI.. The box Jumps just about did me in!
