My warm-up was pretty kick-butt! I was going really fast during the 3rd set and didn't fee ultra winded. *proud* I was really focusing on completing it strong.
Both Cardio Power & Resistance or Plyometric Cardio Circuit are "interval" workouts ~ meaning you get to take breaks in between sets of exercises, but you go max out. Pure Cardio workout is approximately 16 minutes of non-stop exercises.
Non-stop!
You can take a break, but you just jump back in when you're ready.
Exercises that killed me in this circuit:
~ Frog jumps -- I decided to change it from a squat to a "full squat" meaning you squat all the way to the floor for full range of motion (ROM). If you can do a movement, you should strengthen it through the entire range of motion. As long as you stay within the boundaries of safety. Going to a full squat (as late as it is in the circuit)... was killer.
~ Push-up jacks -- ahhh! upper body strength! I would do 2, then keel over ^^; I did my best though
~ Level 2 drills -- again with the upper body strength! The "suicides" (burpees) and "floor sprints" (mountain climbers) weren't a problem... (well, too much), but the push-ups! Just to keep going, I modified to knee-push-ups.
Favorite exercises in this circuit:
~ Football sprints -- I really like these! I think they're fun! Even with all the jiggling ^^;
~ Hook punches + high knees to chest -- These were fun too XD
I was dying last week during Pure Cardio (because I was doing the wrong order of exercises), but this time it was lots of fun!
Tomorrow is Plyometric Cardio Circuit!
*a little worried cause already sore...*
