Monday Workout: New Stuff!

I spent some of my time off reading (big surprise!) and learned some new exercises, so this workout has a bunch of new fun stuff in it!  Here’s how to do the new stuff:

 

Lateral bound:  It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like.  We start standing with our feet together.  We leap to the right, landing on our right foot.  We bring our left foot over to meet the right.  Then we do the same thing to the left.

 

Kettle bell bottom up press:  Stand with feet about hip-distance apart.  Bend one arm so that the elbow is more or less at the side of the body and the hand is at shoulder height (in other words, in a position to do a single arm overhead press).  Instead of using a dumbbell, we use a kettle bell with the handle pointing down toward the floor and the ball of the kettle bell toward the sky.  It’s challenging!

 

Kettle bell hammer curl:  This works like a regular curl, except that again, we hold a kettle bell instead of a dumbbell.  As in a regular hammer curl, the palm faces toward the midline of the body, not toward the ceiling.

 

Skier jumps:  Begin in plank position.  Jump both feet together to the left and then to the right.

 

As usual, modify as needed.  I suggest three rounds, but you do you.
