Move It Monday

(Source)

Good day dear readers!  (said in a horrible faux accent of unknown region) I hope you a restful weekend.

The above picture would so be me and and I know some of you too!  Ha!

Yesterday, Brent and I did this fun and fast workout.  We used kettlebells but you could easily modify it to work for dumbbells.

A. 5 Swings (Dumbbell Option: Jump Squats or Dumbbell swings)
B. 1 Clean and Press
C. 1 Overhead Squat*
repeat 4 x (2 on each side)

REST!!

A-C are back to back without rest (a complex).   Repeat complex 3x total.

*Overhead squats are an advanced move.  Beginners should stick with regular squats.

Ascending  Clean and Press and Squat Ladder

1 Clean and Press (each side)
5 Squats
2 Clean and Presses (each side)
10 Squats
3 Clean and Presses (each side)
15 Squats

Alternate with

Pull ups (maximum reps)

Rest and repeat ladder and pullups 3x.  I did negative pull ups, i.e., jumped up to the bar and lowered myself slowly.

Bodybugg Update!
I’m right on track and lost a pound last week.  It felt pretty effortless and I still ate lots of my favorite foods just not as much.  I’m getting used to the Bodybugg online tracking.  I’ve used The Daily Plate for years and LOVE IT!. I do not like the Bodybugg calorie tracking as well as the Daily Plate.  I also used my personal coaching session.  She was very nice and showed me a few things I didn’t know about the tracking system such as where to enter measurements to get a more accurate calorie burn.  Yesterday, I took my body fat measurements I was guessing I was going to be between 20-22% and ended up at 23%.  Not a bad guess.  😀  I’m not at all bummed about that number.  Right now my eyes are on my goal of reaching my weight so I can test with the 12kg and loose jeans are just going to be bonus!

A look ahead into this week!

    Sorry you are still working the bugs out of your bug but I gotta say I’m terribly interested in your upcoming posts! Protein pancakes? Burlesque?? Woohooo!

    Yay for a whole pound-that is significant! And yay for liking your bugg. I heart the daily plate more than life itself. Well, slight exaggeration but if it wasn’t so cumbersome I’d hug my laptop on the daily :-)

    Still very jealous of your bugg. Bugs and all.

    Um, burlesque, you say..? Curiousity is piqued.

    As your coach I receive 30/60/90 day summary reports on you – about 8+ pages. Stick with it and I would love to share this info with you –

    Just got done reading the pancakes recipe, um YUM – but still too indulgent for me. But when I am going to indulge, I am going to try them.

    I am really looking forward to the Burlesque review – I am going to try a Pole Dancing exercise class in a couple of weeks myself… A little nervous and intimidated, but excited about it too

    Overhead squats are a workout in and of themselves. Thankfully, they’re easier with kettlebells than with dumbbells (or, god forbid, barbells). Good glimpse into a typical short but intense bell workout.
