Earlier in the evening, I did a few sets of air squats while barbecuing.
I also did a couple sets of deadhang pull-ups on my pull-up bar in the garage (12 and 10. Not my best ever, but decent enough.)
Later on, the kids had just started a bath, and my wife hinted that she wanted a bit of time to herself, I seized the chance to sneak in a Basement workout.
When thinking about what I was going to do, there were the following considerations:
- Workout needs to be quick... ideally sub-15 minutes
- I've used the AirDyne a fair bit lately, and was worried my rower was getting jealous.
- I've used my slam ball quite a bit, too. I find it cathartic when something is bothering me.
- I generally don't combine bell swings and rowing, as I feel like there's a little too much overlap in the "extending hips and pulling" motions. The workout needs some sort of pushy motion.
- My stomach is starting to hang over my belt a bit more than I'd like. (Okay, yes, it's ALWAYS been like that, but a bit moreso as of late.)
So I came up with a simple workout that addressed those needs. Plus it was simple and not at any station for particularly long, so I was able to cycle through it quickly.
Five rounds, for time:
250m row
15 push-ups
15 sit-ups
Total time was 10:34.
Each round was between 1:48 and 2:17, and that includes time in and out of the rower, and unlocking my phone so I could hit the "lap" button on my phone's stopwatch.
