This is what I felt like after February’s Cindy. I overdid it. I underestimated this workout. It took me a week to recover.
Going into this workout, my thoughts were: “5 pull-ups – so easy”, “I can muster through those push-ups”, and “what’s 15 squats when other workouts have me doing 50”. “Piece of cake”. So I added a 3km jog to warm-up. Maybe not my best decision.
The Warm Up
- Jog
- 3 km walk/jog on treadmill
This workout is serious, despite its innocent appearance:
The Workout
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of the following three exercises:
- 5 pull ups
- 10 push ups
- 15 squats
Repercussions: I’m behind schedule with my New Year’s Resolutions now. Whoops 😦 But look at my better results 🙂
Benchmark
January: 13 full rounds
February: 14 full rounds
I will keep it to a sprinkling of short recovery walks for the next few days.
