Do you need a workout idea? Try this on for size...

Did you work out today?  Did you want to workout today but didn't know what to do?  Lacking creativity and intensity?  Try this:

This morning I did a HIIT on my treadmill at 5am in order to get my cardio in before I went to school.

After warming up,

3.5 mph @ 9% incline for 5 min
6.5 mph @ 0% incline for 5 min
3.5 mph @ 12% incline for 5 min
7.5 mph @ 0% incline for 5 min
3.5 mph @ 15% incline for 5 min
Run a mile as fast as you can.  I was in b/w speeds 8.0-9.0.

This afternoon after class I did:

100 thrusters @ 65lbs for time.  If you are a male, you can do this at 95lbs or more.  My time was not impressive at 14:23, so you can surely beat that.


After the thrusters, I lifted chest with some standard exercises.

Bench press 5 sets of 8 reps
Cable crossover 3 sets of 10 reps
Smith machine incline press 3 sets of 10 reps

Ab workout:
3 supersets of 20 toe touches followed immediately by 20 crunches.  Rest one minute b/w sets.
Cable crunch 3 sets of 10 reps
Hip raise on parallel bar 3 sets of 10 reps

Jot this down on a piece of paper or pull it up on your smart phone.  Get to the gym and workout!!  What are you waiting for?
