This is a workout from June 2010 at Supreme Ultimate Fitness in Boca Raton, FL .
First it started with a strength phase using a 24kg kettlebell, then double 24kg bells. Then I went into some 5 min circuits using ropes, TRX, kettlebell, and sangbag. I love these 4 tools for metabolic conditioning. They compliment each other very well. Then I finished with 10 min T’ai Chi Chih active recovery.
Here is the exact workout
- Strength Circuit #1: Double clean & press x5 , front squat x5, swings x5, snatch (single x 10) for 3 rounds no rest
- Strength Circuit #2: Push Up x 10, renegade row x 5 each side, single leg dead lift x 5 each side for 3 rounds no rest
- Cardio circuit #1: walking swings, battling ropes, TRX row, sandbag shouldering for 2 rounds for 30 sec work/15 sec rest
- Cardio circuit #2: farmers walk, hand-hand swings, TRX press, TRX one leg squats for 2 rounds for 30 sec work/15 sec rest
- T’ai CHi Chih: Rocking Motion, Bird Flaps its wings, Bass Drum, Pulling Taffy variation #3, 6 healing sounds, cosmic consciousness pose.
