On a recommendation, I checked out Zuzka's WOD (she is a former founder of bodyrocktv but no longer works there, supposedly due to some personal issues with the other male founder). On her own, she started a YouTube channel with similar workouts to bodyrocktv. When I inquired about bodyweight circuits on a private Facebook group I am a member of, she was recommended. So I did her first WOD with some modifications:
10 divebombers
5 burpees
10 side plank raises, each side
5 burpees
20 walking lunges, each side
10 ball throws with an 8 lb medicine ball
30 second plank
repeat 3x
followed by reverse wood chops with an 8 lb medicine ball: 10 each side
bw dips, 10 reps 2x
Brutal. Took half an hour and I was shaking and sweating at the end. I was looking for another form of cardio that would keep my brain interested and still be a good workout, and this was great. I think one of the reasons I dislike steady state cardio so much is that it is the SAME THING for half an hour. This kept switching up, which kept me focused. And it was short and sweet. I think my workout plan is going to be:
Monday: full body strength
Tuesday: bw circuits
Wed: full body strength
Thursday: bw circuits
Friday: full body strength
Sat: biking/off
Sun: biking/off
I may do some biking in the evenings on strength days, but it will depend on what the evening looks like. If I do, it will only be for 15-20 minutes.
