Dynamic Warm-up: 5 minutes of jump rope.

Resistance Phase: (Tabata Style - 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds rest)
1. Trap Bar Deadlift - x 6
2. Shoulder Presses - x 6
3. Curls - x 6
4. Ball Slams - x 6

Interval Phase:
Sled sprints

Static Stretches

We also threw in some plankes, plankes to push-ups, and wall sits. It was a great workout.

At the end of the workout, I weighed each of the girls. They are all losing weight. I'm very excited to see these girls work hard and to see their hard work paying off.

Useless Invention?

You oftentimes will see inventions designed to help people lose weight and get into shape. Many of these inventions are useless. Check this out. It's called the Jump Snap.



Can jump roping be difficult? Yes, but that is why you want to do it. The jump rope is a conditioning tool. It's a great way to get into better shape and develop coordination. Instead of buying one of these "Jump Snaps" learn how to jump rope, get into the gym, and KILL IT!
