Today’s daily workout took me about 45 minutes to complete. Your time may vary depending on the the duration of breaks in between exercises.

Focus

Today’s workout will be focused on chest strength.

Routine

Begin with a few leg and chest stretches for about 2min in preparation for the circuit below.

Notes:

  1. Perform the push-ups until you can not do any more.  Take as much rest between sets as you need. I kept my rests about 1-2min.  This is aimed on building strength and is something different from the previous workouts.
  2. Archer Push-ups work on isolating each side of the chest. Here is a video for seeing how to perform:

  3. We are going to try to focus on increasing the duration of our jumping rope. This will help to develop endurance and prolonged coordination. Try to go as long as you can, working on different foot movements and rhythms. Start a couple of songs that can last the duration or set a timer. I try to make it as far as I can without messing up. Continue regardless of how often you trip up.

To progress in difficultly, consider increasing the sets for each cycle, extend the exercise duration or decrease the rest duration.  This is not intended to be a circuit routine.

Interval Timer App

For keeping track of the intervals, I use the “Interval Timer” on the Google Play app store. It is FREE and pretty basic/easy to use. Link here.
