Did you really think I was referring to the card game?? That would be crazy talk! This workout is a gem. I was introduced to it by my old personal trainer, Madelyn (I will post about her later). It is a great workout to do post-cardio or just on its own. You can always swithc up the exersices too: burpees/situps or squats/pushups...there are endless combinations.
It is time to put your poker face on (and maybe put some Lady Gaga on! (Sorry, I just had to say it!)
If you aren't doing Blackjack after a cardio session, warmup with:
3 sets of:5 burpees
10 squats
Blackjack!!
AFAP (AsFastAsPossible)
Descending/Ascending Ladder
20 pushups, 1 situp
19 pushups, 2 situps
18 pushups, 3 situps
…
2 pushups, 19 situps
1 pushup, 20 situps
Depending on your level, you may want to start at 11/1 (situps/pushups), working to 1/11 (situps/pushups). Scale sit-ups and push-ups as needed. As always, stretch after!!!
Post your time below.
Place a folded towel at the curve of your back, like shown in the video. If you find doing these situps a little too hard (they should be challenging), place something between your feet, like a weight or leg of the couch, to "squeeze" as you come up.
Go to your knees if you have to. It is better to do better form on your knees, than bad form on your toes!
