Get Fit Fast

This workout should take approximately 45 minutes. As I always state in my workouts, get some great, motivating music on. It will push you further when you feel the strain.

  • Medicine Ball 6kg or heavier (optional)

The Workout

  • Perform some gentle skipping to warm up. Do around 3-4 minutes of skipping.
  • Perform 3 minutes of straight punches/jabs/uppercuts to the boxing bag. If you don’t have a boxing bag or gloves, do some shadow boxing. Keep on your toes at all times to keep your heart rate up. More >

The ‘Fuck I’m Hungry’ Workout

This workout takes about an hour. I needed to push myself big time, as not been to the gym for two weeks, well apart from spinning last Friday. Last week I was painting and decorating all week and the week earlier I had tonsilitis.

Anyway I’ve called it the above because afterward I have never felt so ravenous, so maybe keep a banana or apple with you to snack on afterward.

Items Required

  • Skipping rope
  • Training mat
  • Weights
  • Music (optional but motivating)

The Workout

  • Skip for approximately five minutes to warm up the muscles.
  • Stretch out the muscles equally, and hold for thirty seconds.
  • Perform 15 chinnies – bring your knees as high as you can, jump back down and jump straight back up. Perform 15.
  • Perform 15 jump squats. Jump up and position yourself in a squat position. Hold that move for 1 second and jump back up. Perform 15. This moves builds strong buttocks and leg muscles. More >

Break

I’m afraid that I cannot do any new workouts for a couple of weeks as I have recently undergone laser eye surgery. The procedure went very well and I have better than 20/20 vision which is extrordinary, considering my previous prescription.

I have to steer clear from the gym for two weeks, incase any sweat gets in my eyes etc. Gosh, I can’t even wet my face for a fortnight, in case I get water in my eyes, which the experts say, contains bacteria which could cause an infection. I already look like I have vampire’s eyes, so I don’t want to cause any more swelling! lol

Anyway I’ll be back in a few weeks, with some even harder workouts. I miss the gym already. I’ll be posting some recipes in that section over the next couple of days, so look out for them. See you soon.
