AM Workout

Hey everyone,

This week we decided to incorporate some morning workouts into our routine.  With the long winter nights past us, and the sun rising earlier, it is getting much easier to roll out of bed and exercise!


 
Our first morning of exercise focused on upper body.  We decided to continue with another FGB (Fight Gone Bad) workout.  We chose this workout style as it is completed in 30 minutes and we are tight on time in the morning (see our previous post or the "Workout Styles" tab for details on this workout).  Here is what we did:
  1. Pushups
  2. Bodyweight pullups
  3. Clean & Press (Alex - 24kg, Tannys - 12kg)
  4. Alternating kettlebell rows (Alex 40 kg, Tannys 16kg)
  5. Kettlebell high pulls (Alex - 24 kg, Tannys 12kg)

Today, we completed our second morning workout, which consisted of conditioning - Density-Style.  Please refer to the "Workout Styles" tab for details on how to do a density workout. This is what we did:
  1. Burpees and T-push-ups
  2. Double kettlebell stair carries (Alex - 2x24kg, Tannys - 2x12kg) and speed squats
  3. Kettlebell swings (Alex - 40kg, Tannys - 24kg) and shadow boxing
  4. Bench jumps and Mountain climbers
  5. Battleropes and side lunge jumps

We found both morning workouts very intense, but felt great once we had finished!  Try a morning workout yourself and see how energized you feel as you start your day!
