Manic Monday

I can't believe it's already race season again! What an amazing summer it's been!

This year, I have the goal to run the following half marathons: 
I've been working on distance each week and increasing my distance but during the week working on speed and cross training.

I have decided that on Mondays, it's really hard for me to get to the gym or go run with my busy office Mondays. So, instead, I have decided to create a challenge I've named "Manic Monday". Every Monday I will do the same workout. 

The workout: 
  • 100 Situps
  • 100 Pushups
  • 100 Squats
  • 100 Burpees
  • 100 Tuck Jumps

Do these reps as fast as you can with good form and record your time. Do the workout every Monday and try to improve your time. You can do these exercises in any order and you may split the sets up as you wish. 

Monday 9/30 was the first day I did this and it looked like this:
10 pushups, 20 situps, 10 pushups, 10 tuckjumps, 10 burpees, 10 squats. I repeated this sequence until I reached 60 reps of each exercise and then I knocked out the remainder 40 reps of each without jumping from exercise to exercise. 
It took me 29:33. 

I really enjoyed this because I was able to do this in my living room! Who wants to join?!
