Snowbound Bodyweight Workout (W.O.W. November 23rd, 2010)

This week the Workout Of The Week is all about being housebound (as we are in Seattle right now due to snow). You don't need weights to get a great workout regardless of if you are snowbound or not.

Start with a light warm up of jogging in place for 1 minute, leaping side to side for 1 minute, jacks for 1 minute and then jump rope with heels touching in front for 1 minute.

Here' the workout:

15-20 push ups
15 squat thrusts
20 rows in plank position - you don't need weights for this, just pull your elbow back, changing sides right then left.
15 full burpees
15-20 tricep push ups
40 mountain climbers (count every single one, not every other one)
20 falling push ups. Crouch down with elbows inside of knees, hands up in a defensive stance and heels lifted. Slowly fall forward, catch yourself and then push back up forcefully with your arms.
20 squat hop out and in and then one flying jack - that counts as one.
20 full sit ups

Repeat from the top two more times and then stretch hamstrings and lower back (that's the very minimum stretching you should do).
