Fun Friday - 10 Minute Medal Effort Challenge



Where do you want to finish next Spring?  If the couch or the stands isn't good enough for you here's another 10 minute Body Weight & Core Challenge...



To complete this workout, you will go through these exercises as quickly as you can, resting when necessary.  Once you complete the circuit, start over at the top.  You are trying to see how many times you can complete the circuit before 10 minutes is up!

(Remember to warm up first!)

1. 10 x Jump Squats  (get parallel and jump as high as you can)
2. 20 Bicycle Crunches (each leg - touch elbow to opposite knee)
3. 5 push ups
4. 10 Squated Calf Raises (stay in squat position, raise up on to tip toes and back down)
5. 5 x Plank Rotation (See video for explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf2-BmDALHQ)
6. 5 Jump Lunges (each leg - start from lunge position, jump and switch legs into opposite lunge and back)

Repeat this sequence as many times as you can until the 10 minutes is up.  Record your total reps in your journal and comment below how you did! 

   Bronze Effort -  5 to 6 completed sets   
      Silver Effort - 7 to 8 completed sets      
         Gold Effort - 9 + completed sets         

Fewer than 5 completed sets?  Keep working!  You will attain medal status soon!
