WORKOUT 20: "KEEPIN' IT REAL"

(ain't that the truth)

With that being said, WELCOME, to day 20 in The Bertinator's 31 Days! Today you will be working and pushing yourself as hard as you can for 35 seconds. Then you will rest for 10 seconds before doing it again. You will be doing the SAME exercise 3 times in a row, before switching. This will enable you to REALLY feel the burn, and fatigue the working muscles!

You will be using www.tabatatimer.com. Either with the app on your phone, iPad, or computer.

Set WORK to 35, REST to 10, CYCLES to 3, and TABATAS to 6. This will put your workout at only being 14 minutes and 30 seconds. Sweaty and DONE in under 15 minutes!!!

"KEEPIN' IT REAL"

1. T - Push  Ups
2. Side Lunge Hop
3. Double Unders
4. Tricep Kickbacks
5. Deadlifts
6. Slider Reverse Crunch

Don't forget, you will do each exercise 3 times, before moving on to the next one. You will only have 10 seconds PERIOD for recovery time throughout the whole workout. So, your workout will look like this:

T - Push Ups (35 seconds)
rest (10 seconds)
T - Push Ups (35 seconds)
rest (10 seconds)
T - Push Ups (35 seconds)
rest (10 seconds)
Side Lunge Hops (35 seconds)
and so on and so forth......

After you have completed the workout, don't forget to leave me a comment, letting me know how awesome you did, and if you felt the burn!

Push through to the end!

WORKOUT 12: "PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR"


After your "rest" day yesterday aka cardio day, it is time to step it up a notch and party it UP like a rock star! Onto workout #12! Can you believe it?? Only 13 more workouts before it is CHRISTMAS!! (ps- that took forever to do those colors.) 


This workout is going to be about 22-25 minutes depending on how long you break in between each round. I would prefer you break for less then a minute. Which means, you have 60 seconds to grab water, reset your tabata timer and GO! Here is how today's workout is going to go. Set your timer up at www.tabatatimer.com. You will be doing a total of 3 rounds! However- before you start a round- you will need to adjust the timer. 

Round 1: 45 seconds of work - 15 seconds rest - cycles 10 - tabatas 1
Round 2: 30 seconds of work - 10 seconds of rest - cycles 10 - tabatas 1
Round 3: 20 seconds of work - 5 seconds of rest - cycles 10 - tabatas 1
 (which means you HUSTLE into position- this is the SPEED round!)

You will complete ALL 8 exercises each round. 

"PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR"

3. Lunge Kicks (you will do each leg for the allotted amount of time)
6. Single Arm Dumbbell Rows (you will do each arm for the allotted amount of time)

This is my kind of workout! You fatigue the muscles, and then as the time goes down, so does the recovery period. Are you ready?! Get it done! 

Comment below when you are finished, and let me know which exercise was your FAVORITE!!

Every Monday I will be posting a REAL TIME workout. This is where I will be doing the workout right along with you. In the future, I will also post the breakdown exercises to each real time video, so that you can watch each exercise before doing it with me, or just do it on your own, if that is what you prefer. Whatever gets it done. :)

Here goes nothing! Enjoy and "Get R Done!"

"Get R Done"




As always, don't forget to leave a comment letting me know you completed the workout, and which exercise had you catching your breath the most.

WORKOUT 8: "BOX OF CHOCOLATES"


Not only is life like a box of chocolates, but so is today's workout. You have completed a WHOLE week! 7 days of Bertinator workouts. Seriously- how exciting! I am so proud of each and every one of you. If you have yet to start, this is a NEW week! It is never too late to start, until it is... and well, then you are pretty much dead, so it doesn't matter anyhow;) So, start now! You can still comment below each workout letting me know you killed it, and you can go back and still do the first 7. Each workout is under 20 minutes, and 2 can easily be done in one day. For each work out completed and commented on you get one entry into the raffle jar for each prize. Whoot! Whoot!

Now onto Workout #8. This one is going back and including ALL the exercises you did this past week. However, each and every one of your workouts will be different.

On different pieces of small paper write down each of the following exercises and then fold each of them up and put them in a bowl.

"BOX OF CHOCOLATES"

BURPEES
MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS
TRICEP EXTENSIONS
SQUAT KICKS
TUCK INS
PUSH UPS
LUNGE HOPS
SIT UPS
JACKIE CHANS
BRIDGES
ARNOLD PRESSES
RUSSIANS
HIGH LOWER AB LEG LIFT
SUPERMANS
SQUAT PRESS
STAR JUMPS

Once you have all the pieces of papers folded and thrown into a bowl, it is time to start your work out!! Are you ready?! It is "Box of Chocolates'" pyramid time. Here is how it is going to go. You are going to draw an exercise out of the bowl. Whatever exercise you get you do for 10 reps. Once you finish those 10 reps you pick another exercise and do it for 20 reps. Complete the 20 reps and pull another exercise out of the bowl and do 30 reps of that exercise. Don't worry- 30 is as high as you are going to go:) After you reach 30, you go back down to 20 reps, then 10 again and so on and so forth. Your work out will look like this in reps 10-20-30-20-10-20-30-20-10-20-30-20-10-20-30-20! There are 16 different pieces of paper. You will set your timer for 20 min. and GO! If you finish all the pieces of paper, then throw them back in and start over.

Everyone's workout will be different! In the comments, let me how your workout went- and how you pulled each exercise and how many reps you had to do. It is fun to see how hard everyone had to work.

Burn it up!
