My New Year’s Eve Workout
I ate a few too much heavenly chocolate (my Grandmother’s secret recipe) and pumpkin pie over the holidays - I’ll admit it -
So I figured…
Why wait until 2009 to work off a few of the fat pounds I put on?
Here’s a glimpse into my 30 minute fat loss session that I just returned from (My heart is STILL beating fast). It doesn’t seem like much, but I kept the rest periods short and believe me, the intensity was high - I refuse to be fat - haha -
The Workout - Quad Dominant, Vertical Push, Vertical Pull
A1. Neutral Grip Dumbell Push Press, 35’s - 12, 12
A2. Close Grip Chinups, BW - 10, 7
A3. Bulgarian Split Squats, 35’s - 10, 10 / leg
B1. Walking Lunges holding a 35 lb plate overhead - 10, 10 / leg
B2. 1 Arm Dumbell Swing, 30 lb dumbell - 15, 15 / arm
B3. Triceps Duck Unders (I needed this rest station, the swings killed me), 12, 10
I tried to keep the rest to under 1 minute between sets, and I think I was in and out of the gym before some of the other people switched exercises!!
Happy New Year, and I’ll talk to you in 2009!

Nice! What’s a tricep duck under?
Watch this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUgbzg622uo - I guess the real name is “Bodyweight Triceps Extension” so good question! I used the Smith Machine - Maybe we’ll try’em soon!
Oh ya…you had me try those once upon a time. I don’t think I was very good at it. Have to try again!
