Workout of the week

Coming back from pregnancy and birth could be very challenging, especially for someone who was in very good shape. The loss of strength alone can be a serious motivation killer; All those sets of pullups I used to do so easily are now a distant memory… But I must push harder and simply do what it takes to get back there, however long it takes me.

Here’s this week’s workout (I felt like puking after that one, but give me two weeks and I’ll do better, I promise!):

Warmup: KB jumping jacks
2. pistol squats (single leg squats) holding one KB in rack position (x8 each leg)
3. diamond pushups (x15)
4. bench step-up and KB press (x20 each side)
5. pullups (x15)
6. box squat jumps (x10)
7. superman pushups (replace with Bosu plyometric pushups next round) (x10)
8. scissor jumps (x20)
9. turkish getups (x8 each side)
10. window washers with KB (x10)

Repeat 1–10. This should be done as a circuit, no break between exercises.

Keep your game sharp (and your guard up),
