Week 6 ; Workout 2

 Happy Friday!

So today, I started off with barbell squats, then did a full body circuit exercise. Here are the details:

Barbell squats: 3 sets; 3 reps; 225lbs; slow descent and a brief pause at bottom.

Full body circuit: 3 rounds; 5 reps of incline bench press (135lbs); 20 reps of kettle bell swings (45lbs); 10 reps of box jumps; 10 reps of explosive Bulgarian split squats (each leg); 5 reps of back lunge followed be a vertical jump with a high knee in the air (each leg); 10 reps of hanging knee raises; 20 plank side touches; and 5 medicine ball slams on a balance ball (training balance). (I took 2 minute breaks between each round.)

That concludes this fun full body exercise (legs, upper body, and core).

Here is the YouTube link to the squats of the workout:

Week 1; Workout 2

 Today, this Sunday, I went for a bike ride with my dad since the weather was perfect. We biked for roughly one hour, at an RPE scale of around 2-3. It was also continuous cardiovascular exercise.  We biked just shy of 9 km. There were some steep parts of the bike path when we crossed small bridges. All in all, we had an awesome time! Here are some photos:

Week 5; Exercise 1

 Happy Sunday, For this workout I did the one on LEA "the circuit exercise." I changed some parts up, though. Here is my take on it: Circuit 1: 20 push ups + 20 jump squats + 20 jumping lunges Circuit 2: 20 jumping lunges (reverse lunge to jumping off one foot with the opposite leg doing a knee kick) + 30 seconds plank alternating legs + 15 triceps dips Circuit 3: 20 bicycle crunches + 30 side hops each leg + 15 inchworms I completed 2 rounds. My goal was to complete 3, but I felt gassed out, especially because I had an 8 hour shift before the exercise. We'll get 3 rounds next week! Here is a short video of the workout on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qziROO2zPYU Have a great week!
