This evenings workout was the pit full body workout, there is a full description here. Personally I think the 3 workouts on the DVD are great, don’t take my word for it though, read what others say about it:

Bottom line: If you buy this DVD and follow the workouts three times a week, you will get into great shape!

All in all the training programs are great to follow by yourself if you’re starting out, and want to improve your strength and stamina, with very little equipment.

A good dvd all round, well rounded upper and lower exercises. Good for both starters and advanced athletes.

The pit workout is available from amazon.co.uk.

This evenings workout was a kettlebell workout using a 20kg kettlebell and my own bodyweight:

After warming up I performed: Ten rounds of squat thrusts for 30 reps and then one arm kettlebell swings 15 reps each arm. A round is one set of squat thrusts and one arm kettlebell swings done back to back with as little rest as possible between rounds, just enough to shake out your body and grab a quick drink of water. The squat thrust is a bodyweight exercise in which you squat down, get into the top position of a pushup, and then get back to up the standing position.

Todays workout was just a light one before sitting down to dinner. Snow is still thick on the ground so I went into the workshop at work and with my new heavy duty wire jump rope and Gymboss Timer, I jumped rope for 12×2 minute rounds with 30 seconds of ab work inbetween rounds. I followed this up with 10 sets of 25 push ups, alternating sets between hands wide apart, hands at shoulder width and hands together. Merry xmas.

Three medicine ball abs exercises that will get you in great shape.

No.1. Sicilian Crunch.
Lay on the floor raise your upper body as high as possible by crunching your rib cage towards your pelvis. Just before top of the move straighten your arms to raise the medicine ball.

No.2. Medicine Ball Taps.
Sit on the floor holding the medicine ball in front with the arms slightly bent. Lean slightly back, lift your feet off the ground. Twist to the right and touch the medicine ball to the floor, twist to the left and touch the medicine ball to the floor, all the time following medicine ball with your eyes.

No. 3. Medicine Ball Curl Ups.
Lay on the floor and use both hands to hold the medicine ball above your head and barely off the floor. Bend your knees 90 degrees, place your feet flat on the floor. Perform a classic sit-up by raising your torso into a sitting position. Go back to the start. Extending your arms creates a long lever for your abs to pull against while the ball provides extra resistance.

Along with a 5 mile run, 75 of each of the above medicine ball exercises in 3 sets of 25 using a 15lb medicine ball was my workout for 25th June.
