Fury Fitness in 10 minutes

I confess that I didn't complete my Turbulence Training workout yesterday.  I needed something different in order to jack up the intensity of my workouts.  Not that the Turbulence Training workouts aren't good or intense...they are.  But psychologically, I was bored with the sameness of the workouts.

So instead of my Turbulence Training workout, I did one of my own 10 minute Fitness Fury workouts.  With the short, intense workout, I felt exhausted, but good.  Doing a short workout like that allows me to keep my intensity up more. 

Here is the workout I did - performed as a circuit.  The first time through I used slightly lighter weights and performed 12 repetitions per exercise.  I then rested about 1 minute, and completed the circuit again, this time using heavier weights so I fatigued at about 8 repetitions.
Rear Lunges
Stiff Leg Deadlifts
Wide/narrrow Push-ups
Dumbbell Pullover
Air Bike Crunches

With a warm-up, the entire workout took about 11 minutes.

I then went to the gym and did a 12 minute interval workout on the treadmill.

Remember, workouts are about quality, not quantity.

Overall, great workout! 

Carpe Diem y'all!
