Full Body Weights and Cardio Circuit

I workout with awesome ladies every morning and have found that some prefer cardio workouts, and others prefer strength circuits. So in this workout, you get the best of both!! I honestly prefer the strength training- I LOVE LIFTING HEAVY.  Makes me feel like a beast! No really, it challenges me in a way that I have never known- seeing how really strong you are and what your body is capable of doing.  Sometimes we limit ourselves because of our mental fear....anyways, that's another topic.

The cool thing about this All Body Weight Circuit is that is incorporates cardio bursts so in 50 minutes I burned 400 calories!!  So for you cardio junkies, it was really good too.  I totally was sopping wet from sweat. 
 Today there were 8 ladies and it worked out great to have 1 more station than there were ladies so that if you got done quicker at one station, you had one that was available to float to.

So here you go! This was todays morning workout:

 8 ladies /9 stations /50 minutes:
FULL BODY WEIGHTS and CARDIO CIRCUIT
 Perform Each Super Set x 3

1. 15 reps Leg Press- then 30 sec. burpees (repeat 3 times)
2. 15 reps Chest Press- then 30 sec. jumping jacks (3 times)
3. 15 reps Lateral Pull down- 30 sec. Jump Lunges (3 times)
4. 15 reps Shoulder Press- 30 sec. squats (no weights on squat)
5. 15 reps Ab crunch - 30 sec. plank jacks (3 times)
6. 15 reps weighted squats- 30 sec. flutter kicks (3 times)
7. 15 each side with Dumbbell Side Bend - 30 sec. skaters (3 times)
8. 15 Bench Leg Pull In - 30 sec. high knees (3 times)
9. 15 reps of weighted Lunges- 30 sec. jump rope (3 times)

I think what made it hard was doing each station 3 times. Doing 15 leg presses then 30 second burpees then right back into 15 reps leg press and then 30 second burpees and then again!  Kim had me do the leg press with 90 pounds added on each side. So that was 180 pounds! (Kim, I think I could have done more!!) 

This morning I had my biocharge drink (amino acid herbal drink) and catalyst 20 minutes before I started working out.
Then after this workout I had 1 cup almond milk (only 30 calories), 2 TBSP of powered PB (super low fat but protein packed), and 2 scoops of my Muscle Gain (vanilla flavor).  Tasted so good! 
Down another pound this week maybe even a little more. :)

*** Just a reminder- I'm not a health expert, nor do I claim to be. But I do see that I'm getting good results and I feel so much better! 

***And another reminder- GOD FIRST and then the rest of my life falls in after Him.....Its hard to balance all this out sometimes.  And I know that I get it backwards sometimes.  But I feel like God is teaching me so much about myself, my will, my mental, physical and emotional strength in this. 

Read this verse yesterday and feel like its fitting for me today:

"Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

Psalm 73:25-26
