RISE AND SHINE!! Your first workout of The Bertinator's 31 Days is HERE!! Don't let this "little" workout fool you. It will have you sweating and burning it up in no time.
This workout is done in pyramid style. Which means you go up and come down. Each exercise has a link attached to it, that will take you directly to my "Bertinator Breakdown" demonstrating the exercise. There is a modification shown for EVERYONE. From my grandma, the fittest of the fit, and 9 month pregnant women. No excuses! Just click on the name of the exercise and get it done. If you know what the exercise is, then feel free to just get going.
This workout is being done for time. Which means, you will set a timer and complete the whole workout and then once you are done press stop and then for an entry into the prize jar- comment below and let me know your time:)
You will always want to start with a light 5 min. warm up with some form of cardio. Jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, etc... and then end with a nice 5 min. cool down (walking, marching in place) and a good stretch afterwards. However- you will not include either the warm up or the cool down in your "timed" portion. Start the timer AFTER the warm up and stop is BEFORE the cool down.
"CLIMBING TO THE TOP"

40 Squat Kicks
50 Tuck Ins

(don't forget to record your time, and comment) Could take you anywhere between 10-30 minutes.
Well, I was too embarrassed to time myself because I thought I was going to die after the first set of burpees. But I did it! Now I wish I paid attention to the time so that I could compare my times 31 days from now!
ReplyDeleteHaha Jenny! No need to be embarrassed EVER in this group! You did it and that is ALL that matters!:) Can't wait to see how well you do on the rest of them.
DeleteYou're right, it's harder than it looks! I also thought I was going to die. It took me 17 minutes, but it's hard to keep track of how many tuck ins I'm doing and yell at my kids at the same time. (Joking...sort of!)
ReplyDeleteI love it Jennifer! You just burned more calories doing both at the same time! :) Way to go!!
DeleteDone with a time of 15:37.9. The hardest exercise for me were the Tuck Ins. The first time I did it the normal way but after the 5 min run I did it with my hands on the ground. Also I used a 15 lb weight for the Tricep Extensions and I felt the burn but next time I'll probably have to use something a little heavier to get a bigger burn:) -Rebekah
ReplyDeleteNice job Rebekah!! You killed it:) I also love how you realized that you will have to go up on the weight for your tricep extensions next time. Feeling that burn makes all the difference! Glad you make sure you get it in:)
DeleteWOO HOO!! Feeling the burn! 15:09. Great workout, Bertie!!
ReplyDeleteSamm- get it girl!! Nice job!!
Delete22:58 and I didn't die! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteKyla!! Great job!! And I'm elated you didn't die- because that means you'll be coming back for more;) Keep it up!
DeleteThat felt so good! 14:43 and I am spent! :)
ReplyDeleteWhoop! Whoop! Way to work it Nykele! Great job!
Delete16:12 and those tuck-ins were really tough! My 2 month old watched me while I did this and I think she thought it was pretty entertaining. haha
ReplyDeleteNice work Ms. Miriam!! Having your 2 month old watch you now means she is going to grow up loving to workout naturally!:) Great mamma!:)
Delete20:28 First time doing a serious workout post baby. Started running two weeks before Thanksgiving. Im up to 2miles. This workout reminded me I have a long way to go. Thanks for the challenge! Cant wait for tomorrows.
ReplyDeleteYEAH!! Nice job G-Rex!:) And way to be up to 2 miles running already. That is awesome!!! How old is your baby?
DeleteThis was awesome! I almost didn't do it today but do to a very good friend who is also doing it, I did it! So this workout goes to her for keeping me motivated! I did it in 16 minutes!
ReplyDeleteAngel! I'm so happy you have a friend that has motivated you to do the challenge and for getting Day 1 under your belt!! Congratulations- and way to do it, when you had already thought you weren't gonna get it in. That is how a habit is formed- by just getting it done! Nice job!!:)
DeleteOk so I started one day late so I guess I will have to double up at some point... CanI just say the first workout was EXACTLY what I needed to pull me out of my China funk! Thank you Bertie! Anyway although it was hell to start I did somehow finish every bit of it. (YAY ME) Ok so I finished in 22:28 not including warm-up and cool down which I thought wasn't that bad. I had to get very creative with my tricep weights but was able to perservere. Can't wait to do work out numero dos!
ReplyDeleteNice job Roxy!! Haha, and I was wondering why you said you started a day late!:) You were right on time:) Way to go- and now that you are out of your China funk- it is time to STAY out of it! 31 days girl! You can do it!!:) Great job!!
DeleteOh yeah but then I realized... I AM IN CHINA so I actually did start on the 1st if I were in Texas! haha!
ReplyDeleteFelt good and did it in 13.09!
ReplyDeleteNice work Autumn!! :)
DeleteThis makes me laugh after reading everyone else's times! I did it in 28:27. Exercise Induced Asthma kicks my trash. Took a couple minutes to help my almost-3-yr-old try a couple exercises, too, though. I am sweaty and feel great! Looking forward to tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHaha- you did it- and that is all the matters- and even MORE importantly- you were helping your 3 yr. old exercise too! :) You are one great mom!
DeleteI did it but it was HARD! It started out not so bad, but I got a little over-confident. Good workout!
ReplyDeleteDid 14:05. Was not able to double up today.
ReplyDeleteYou do what you can, when you can- and one is always, definitely enough!! So- great job Kira:)
DeleteI've been away from the internet this weekend, so now it's time for catch-up. Did this one on Nov 26th when you emailed it out. Does that still count? Lol. My timer wasn't working right either. :P Anyhow, onto the next exercise.
ReplyDeleteYes- it still counts! However- you can always do it over and make your timer work right though;) Haha!!
DeleteOkay I haven't been commenting but I have completed each day so here goes nothing.
ReplyDelete24:10:8. And felt like I would die! lol.
Awesome job!! And the best news is- you didn't die- AND you lived to do more Bertinator work outs!:) I love it!
DeleteThis was a GREAT one! I think I might throw it in there again.
ReplyDeleteWhoot! Whoot!! Throw it in as many times as you want- only kicker- you HAVE to beat your time each time you redo it:) And go!
