Full-Body 10-9-8 Countdown Workout

Hey everyone,

We enjoyed our previous 10-9-8 countdown workout so much that we decided to stick with this format for our next few workouts.  It was very time-efficient, yet still allowed us to workout all of the muscle groups we wanted.  For this workout, we changed the format slightly, to include both upper and lower body exercises.  Again, we completed 10 reps of each exercise, followed by 9 reps, 8 reps, etc...



We chose 3 upper body and 3 lower body exercises and completed each 10-9-8 countdown triplet separately for the upper and lower body (taking a brief rest period in between the triplets, half-way through the workout).  Here is what we did:

Lower Body
  1. Kettlebell swings
  2. Kettlebell goblet squats
  3. Kettlebell deadlifts
Upper Body
  1. Pullups
  2. Dips
  3. Jungle Gym Reverse Pushups
This workout took 30-35 minutes to complete.  We set it up so we could complete the workout simultaneously with a workout partner (one person completes lower body, while the other completes upper body, then switch).  Try doing this workout in the morning and you will be energized to start your day!
