One of the benefits of clean eating: when Monday morning rolls around and you try to workout, you don’t feel like death.
Ohmygosh. Erik and I were in DC most of the weekend and well, we enjoyed many of our favorite cheat foods. Pizza, wings, burritos, beer…
Today, I went in to do the box’s workout: 1000 meter row, and then 21-15-9 kettlebell swings (53#) and burpees. When I read the workout online, I thought to myself–no biggie! I can do this easy. This morning? HOLY COW. I felt the crap that I ate. I couldn’t move. I felt heavy. Breathing was a struggle.
Sometimes you need that bad-food-reminder. And it gives you motivation to hop back on track with your clean eating. (As I’m snacking on almonds right now.) 😉
But without further digression, here’s your Tuesday Strong Figure Conditioning Workout!
1. 5 minutes as many rounds as you can:
- 15 American kettlebell swings
- 100 meter sprint
2. Rest 3 minutes
3. 5 minutes as many rounds as you can:
- 10 Push-ups
- 100 meter sprint
4. Rest 3 minutes
5. 2 minutes max effort burpees.
Let me know in the comments below how many total rounds you got of each 5-min workout and then how many burpees you ended up with! I also want to know…eating what food item makes you feel the crappiest in the gym?Â
If you don’t have equipment, sub squats for the swings! And if you don’t have a track or good outdoor area for the sprints, you could always do 100 jumps with the jump rope instead!
