work out of the day

Hello everyone,

After setting up this account and posting my first post, I thought that I should do more today.

So, I'm gonna post my work out of the day.

I've recently been experimenting with a type of exercise called Heavyhands. This type of exercising was invented and named by Leonard Schwartz, M.D. Unfortunately, I have not read his book and know all of the facts. However, the basics of the system (from what I understand) is to walk while carrying hand weights as you perform exercises. This type of exercise, supposedly, is great for increasing your VO2 max.

I walked for 25 minutes and used two 5 pound dumbbells.

My timer was set for 50 seconds per exercise. Each cycle consisted of 1) pump and walk 2) chest flyes 3) pump and walk 4) bent arm lateral raises 5) pump and walk 6) overhead military press. I completed 4 cycles of the exercise sequence.

My walked started on a level paved street. The street then goes down hill and followed by another hill. After completing my second cycle, I turned around and headed back to my starting point. The first half was a warm up. The up hill climb while carrying the weights and performing the exercises really increased my heart rate and breathing. I was thankfully relieved when the street began to level out again. By this time, my shoulders were feeling the burn.

When I reached my starting point, I laid the weights down and performed 30 push-ups. I then grabbed my Bulgarian training bag (BTB), draped it over my shoulders and performed 30 squats. Followed by 20 push-ups and 20 squats with the BTB. My finisher was some swings using the BTB and some gripper work.


Summary:

25 minute cardio
30 Push-ups
30 BTB squats
20 Push-ups
20 BTB squats
BTB swings
Gripper work.

Cool down with stretches.

Hope that you enjoyed.
