Specific Warm Up


Another couplet of movements in our workout today. We should already be warmed up for Push Ups from the 8 Count Body Builders in the general warm up, so do 2-3 sets of 6 alternating Lunges to make sure you have a safe variation for the day and then let’s rock and roll!

Workout Notes


The format of this workout is a little different than usual. Basically, we will set a 15:00 timer and work our way through as much of the workout as possible before the clock stops. However, the rep scheme keeps adding up more and more as you go along and is unending. It starts with 10 push ups and then 20 lunges (double the number of push ups.) Then we go to 15 and 30, then 20 and 40, and then you keep following that pattern. So next would be 25 and 50, then 30 and 60 and so on. It’s got a little mental workout to it, huh?


The key to this one will be to choose a push up variation or rep scheme that allows you to keep working! If you can do 5 push ups, then the first set of 10 is going to take a minute. Then the 15 will take a long time. The 20 will take forever, etc and then you’ll end the workout having done far more resting than exercising! We don’t want that. So humble yourself and choose reps and variations that allow you to get in a good, safe workout.


Push Up Modifications


This can be any type of press that you want, as long as it’s safe and challenging! Here’s the pressing menu: Push Ups, Dips, Bench Press, Dumbbell Bench Press, Strict Press, or Floor Press


Lunge Modifications


The Lunge can be any variation found in the lunge video or any single leg movement that you like. That could be something from the Split Squat video, the Pistol Squat video, or Box Step Ups. If you aren’t ready for single leg work, go with Air Squats!
