Conditioning Circuit 1/30

Posted on | February 1, 2009 |

This weekend’s Fighter conditioning circuit is pretty intimidating, but it’s not that bad if you have a few workout partners suffering through the workout with you. The key to this circuit is to maintain a constant pace, hitting the same number of repetitions throughout each set, for the entire duration of the workout.

This is a good way to help burn fat, increase your metabolism, and get you into great shape in a short amount of time.

Each exercise is done continuously for 1 minute straight, for a total of 6 minutes per round. All 6 exercises completed is equal to 1 set.
We completed 4 rounds, with 1 minute rests after every 1 set (6 exercises).

Clean and press - I used a barbell with 25 lb weights on each side, for a total of 95 lbs.

Skip Rope

Dumbbell Row Push up - I used 25 lb dumbbells. Do a push-up, row the weight up with your right side, while using your left hand to stabilize your core, then do another push-up and row the left side up. Repeat.

Dumbbell Press High Knees - Run in place with high knees while alternate pressing dumbbells over your head in a military press motion. I used 15 lbs for this exercise.

Ab ball toss - Lie on your back. Hold a medicine ball between your legs, keeping your legs straight as you bring the ball up towards your midsection. At the same time reach forward with your arms straight towards your legs, grab the ball, and bring back towards over your head, bringing your legs back to the original position. Repeat back and forth.
