Weekend Workout #25

This weekend's workout is all about challenging the muscular and cardiovascular system.  After you perform 2 full-body exercises, you'll run 400m (1 lap around a track) and move right into your next 2 full-body exercises.  Your body will be screaming a you move through the complex movements, so don't expect this workout to be anything easy.

For the Power Cleans and barbell Squats, you'll want to select a weight that you can do for the Power Cleans and do the same weight for the Squats.  Rather than change weight or move to a different machine, use the same bar and weight for both exercises to help keep rest minimal.

If you don't have access to a track or treadmill, you can substitute the run for 1/2-mile bike.  For the run (or bike) try to keep the intensity around 75% of your max HR.  It should feel slightly uncomfortable, but not overwhelmingly difficult.

Warm-up for 10-20 min.

x20 Burpees
x15 Overhead DB Press
400m Run
x10 Power Cleans
x15 Barbell Squats

Repeat for as many rounds as you can complete in 45 min.  Move from one exercises to the next with minimal rest, but allow 1-2 min. rest between each round.

Cool Down 5-15 min.
