This workout is designed for women aged 16 – 35 with a
strong to advanced fitness background.
It will kick your butt. If you
don’t have a strong fitness background, don’t be afraid to try; just be ready
to modify movements you have trouble with and go very easy on the weight. Eat well the day of a workout (more info at
the bottom), and be sure to drink lots of water. Always have a meal 1 to 2 hours before your
workout, and have a snack ready for right after. Good luck!
Day 17: Thursday, January 26th 2012
Warm Up: Jump Rope &
Factorial Basics
400 jumps
5!
Light Stretch:
less than 5 minutes
No
deep stretching. Just a few reaching
exercises, arm swings and circles, trunk rotations, etc. The idea is to move and get warm, especially
muscle groups you missed in your warm-up.
Resistance: Posterior Chain,
Core, Back
3 times:
-
10 dumbbell bench presses (enough weight to finish comfortably the first round,
but struggle the last)
-
8
dumbbell incline bench presses (enough weight to finish comfortably
the first round, but struggle the last)
-
8
dumbbell military presses (enough weight to finish comfortably
the first round, but struggle the last)
You might
want to have a friend or fellow workout enthusiast spot you on these if you
struggle too much. If you think you’re
doing them incorrectly or might get hurt, lower the weight.
Cardio: Treadmill Tabata
Set the
Treadmill to a challenging pace (at least 6 mph if you haven't been running,
closer to 9 or 10 if you have been running at a high level, 11 or faster for
elite runners). For 6 minutes alternate 20 seconds running, 10 seconds resting
on the edges.
Cool
Down:
Walk & Jog
-
Walk
5 minutes
-
Jog
1 mile
Stretch:
Shoulders, Chest, Back
Comprehensive
light stretching, then focus on shoulders, arms, chest and back. Be sure to
include: infraspinatus stretch, teres minor stretch, bent over lat stretch, wall lat stretch, overhead triceps stretch, seated biceps stretch, doorway or floor deltoid stretch, side deltoid stretch, straight arm chest stretch, and doorway or floor modified chest
stretch.
Try to base
your meal ratios on a total daily protein intake of 65g to 85g (depending on
your size) while striving to maintain a 9:7:3 carb:protein:fat ratio at every
meal.
Start adding
a fish oil supplement to your first, middle, and last meals of the day for
faster healing and healthier joints. To
really kick your fat loss up a notch and minimize joint inflammation, avoid
bread (at least on workout days).
CINNAMON!! Add a dash of cinnamon to your morning cup of
coffee. Another cup at lunch wouldn’t hurt.
Drink at
least 8 oz. of water 30 minutes before each meal or snack, and drink fluids
with your meal either just before or just after (or both), but not during. Green tea is a great option for delicious
hydration, appetite suppression, antioxidants, and a nice energy boost!
