Bodyweight Ass Kicking

Okay, so I'm trying more flexible options for working out like the Prison Workout. Yesterday, while my boyfriend and a bunch of people in our local SCA group did heavy fighting (that's not a bad workout, but I'm not that into it anymore), I did burpees, pushups, deep chair pushups, tricep dips, squat jumps and lunge jumps.

I did 50 burpees. 50. That makes me sound like a total badass, but really, I did them 10 at a time, with lengthy intervals between, because burpees kick your ass, take names and then come back the next day with your audit.

Burpees with Zuzana

See? Zuzana, of BodyRock.tv is panting with 12 of these fuckers and she pwns me every day just by being alive. You should totally check out her site; awesome fitness workouts, nutrition advice (that I don't follow because I haven't yet given up my gorging habits), and a host of other great tips that will get you lean and mean. Or me, because that's my goal. She's also smoking hot.

So anyway, I did pushups. I'm back trying out for the one hundred pushups routine. I managed to pump out 27 of those fuckers. 27! Now you can worship me as a goddess, but not until you realize that my best number ever was 45. How the mighty have fallen. That puts me at Level 3. The problem I've had with the 100 pushup workout is that I stall at around Level 4. But, we shall try again.

THEN I did chair pushups. This is where you take three chairs and position them in an isosceles triangle, so that each hand rests on a chair and your feet rest on the third. Then start doing pushups. Ten of those will exhaust you nicely (more if you're wearing armour, as some of the lads found).
