the next workout

Here is my workout from yesterday - it was pretty hard for me.  I was doing the push-up part of the burpees girl-style by half way through.  I feel good today though, stronger and sore.  It was worth it.  I didn't get my time however, because though I thought I started the timer, it wasn't going.  I was bummed about that. I'll write more soon about getting back in shape and what I've surprisingly been meditating on that is helping so much.  

Repeat 3x:

10 breakdance style push-ups (5 each side)

10 reptile burpees

50 mountain climbers

20 sumo squat knee-ups (10 each side)

20 prisoner get-ups

20 tricep dips (I used my coffee table, or a chair will work)

breakdance style push-ups:  start in "crab walk" position with butt off of floor, decide which side you want to do the push-up and which foot wil stay on the floor.  Slide the other leg under and behind the other foot and flip over into a one-legged push-up position, do a one-legged push-up, return and repeat on other side.

reptile burpees: once you are in plank position, look over your right shoulder, slightly tilting your body in that direction, bring your right knee up towards your elbow/shoulder with your hip turned out (so that the inside of your thigh is parallel to the ground), return to plank, do a push-up, repeat the reptile on the left side, and complete the burpee.

sumo squat knee-ups: stand with legs a good distance apart and knees and toes bent slightly outward, squat pressing your butt towards the ground with weight in your heels, as you come up - lift your right foot off the ground bringing your bent right knee up towards your chest as you twist your body toward the right side, bring foot down and squat again, repeat on left side.

prisoner get-ups - lie on the ground with legs straight and arms straight over your head.  tuck your left foot behind your right knee and press your right foot into the ground, bring your arms up and over your head using your abs to sit-up and immediately follow through with the motion using your right foot to stand up with arms over head.  Then, basically do the entire thing in reverse until you are lying down again and repeat with the alternate foot.

tricep dip - using the edge of a low table or chair - facing outward, grasp the edge of the table with palms down and elbows bent, tighten your abs and straighten your body into a plank and balance on your heels.  Use your arms to lower yourself toward the ground and then raise your self up again for one dip.

Your Godly meditations are a great inspiration. As well as the amazing things you're doing to exercise! I like how you describe the 'prisoner get ups' I can NOT swing myself into a full sit up more or less get all the way to standing! You are doing great!
