11/12/11 – Saturday – Muscular Endurance Tests

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

Alright here are a couple of workouts we’ve received a lot of good feedback on.  If you all want to test your total body muscular endurance, this is a great start!

Potential PT #1 – 500!

This was a PT we posted back in May in dedication to the Indy 500.  It’s a different, but tough workout. Gotta keep mixing it up!

Total Body Fitness (The Essentials): Finish the reps in as few sets as possible, with as little rest as possible. Switch grips for push ups and pull ups to mix it up.  For Push Ups and squats add a 20 pound weight vest to make it even more interesting.

Stretch/Warm Up

1. Push Ups – 200
2. Pull Ups – 100
3. Squats – 200
= 500

Abs/Core: In as few sets as possible

1. Flutter Kicks – 100 (4-counts)
2. Crunches with legs in the air – 100
3. Plank – 100 seconds
4. Leg Lifts – 100
5. Medicine Ball Twists – 100
= 500

Stretch

Potential PT #2 – Murph

You’ll definitely have a sense of accomplishment after this one.

Stretch

Run 1 mile
100 Pullups
200 Pushups
300 Squats
Run 1 mile

Stretch

Complete the routine as quickly as you can in as few sets as possible, with as litte rest as possible.  For an idea we usually do sets of 5-7 pullups, sets of 15-20 pushups, and sets of 15-20 for squats.  Then run those miles like you’re in a race!
