Hannah'sHeroShred 6 - Burpee and DB Swing in 15/1 Workout

AWhat the heck do I mean?

Well, first of off, let me just say....

Look bad after a workout? Check!




All right so, I clearly cannot hold a camera still after a workout; my muscles are just a bit too fatigued to hold anything perfectly still, but that's okay.


Now the original workout I found was 15/1:

15 Burpees
1 Squat Press
14 Burpees
 2 Squat Press
13 Burpees 
3 Squat Press
12 Burpees
4 Squat Press
11 Burpees
5 Squat Press
 10 Burpees
6 Squat Press
9 Burpees
 7 Squat Press
8 Burpees
8 Squat Press
7 Burpees
9 Squat Press
6 Burpees
10 Squat Press 
5 Burpees
11 Squat Press
 4 Burpees
12 Squat Press
3 Burpees
13 Squat Press
2 Burpees
14 Squat Press
1 Burpee
15 Squat Press

Got it?

BUT I changed it up. 

I decided to do different variations of the Burpee instead of the same one each time. So be creative and come up with your own variations.

The second exercise, I did dumbbell swings instead if the squat press because I wanted more cardio and glute workout. If you don't have dumbbells or heavy enough dumbbells, use books. Surely, you've got books or shopping bags you can fill with something heavy-like? 

Again, get creative! Use what you have in your house/home. Don't let "But I don't have the 'right' equipment" phrase stop you from trying those exercises that you want to try. I am going to say it again....GET CREATIVE!

This is my version:

Hannah'sWarriorShred 36 - Sweaty Fat Blast (590reps in less that half an hour!)

That's right! 590 reps total of 13 different exercises. Ok maybe it's 12, because you repeat the exercise you stared out with at the end. No worries! 

I completed it in 27 minutes. Can you beat my time?

And don't beat yourself up if you don't. Even if it takes you an hour to get it done, you're still torching a ton of stored up fat, as long as you are pushing yourself all the way. 



And yes you can rest when you need too! That's how you keep going. Do some stretches, drink some water, let your body re-build its energy back up to keep going hard again.

90 High Knee Jump Rotations
20 Hand-Release Push-Up
20 Elevated Lunge Jump
30 (Lyong Down) Leg Raises

20 Pistol Squats
30 Hollow-Man Frog Press-Ups
