Morristown Kickboxing - MLK Day Workout Challenge

We are closed today for the MLK holiday, but I do have a special Workout Challenge for you:

The Challenge will consist of 3 exercises - Hindu Squats, Push-Ups and Mountain Climbers. You will perform the exercises in the following sets:

5,5,510,10,1015,15,1520,20,2025,25,25

For the Mountain Climbers, each time you move both legs equals one rep. Use good form.
 Use your smartphone timer to record how long it takes you to finish. Post a screenshot as a check-in at ILoveKickboxing.com Morristown, along with a description of the Challenge and any modifications (i.e. push-ups on knees), to be eligible for prizes. Or, you can post your screenshot/time in the comments below. 

Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

Morristown Kickboxing - 6 Exercise Challenge

I had planned on filming a video for the Weekend Workout Challenge, but I am not feeling well at all. Hopefully everyone will understand how the exercises work without one. The challenge will consist of the following exercises:

75 Jumping Jacks
10 Triceps Push-ups (fingers make a diamond)
20 Air Squats
10 Elevated Push-ups (feet up on a chair)
10 Plank Hops (get in a plank position and hop both feet to hands and back out again.)

You will set your timer for 12 minutes. The idea is to cycle through all the listed exercises as many times as possible. You can rest when you need to.

USE. GOOD. FORM. 90 degree bend on push-ups, squats get the butt as close to the heels as possible. Especially pay attention to the elbow bends on the triceps push-ups - it can be VERY tempting to get sloppy on those. Rest if you need to, but do them right.

To be eligible for prizes, check-in to ILoveKickboxing.com Morristown on your personal Facebook profile (or post in the comments below) and copy and paste the exercises you did, then give the number of cycles you completed, and then what exercise you finished on if you finish part way through a cycle (i.e. 4 cycles and 7 elevated push-ups.)

Have fun, and let me know if you have any questions!
