New GNC Workout: Playground Challenge

July 10, 2012 By Jess

Workout no. 5 of the GNC Summer Series comes to you from the neighborhood playground!

That’s right. We are going to use the monkey rings and a park bench to challenge ourselves.

5 moves for 10 reps each. Work up to 4 rounds.

Hanging knees to elbows
Bench jumps
Decline push-ups
Step-ups on bench
Dips

If you want to make this even more of a fat-burning workout, add a 400m run each round like Coach and I did here.

That modified version took us around 30 minutes with short rest periods in between each round. We subbed pull-ups (I did jumping ones) for the dips.

During the workout, I wore my Polar FT40 HR monitor and my heart rate stayed at +160 bpm during the moves!

We made sure to get this workout in early because of the heat warnings around the Omaha metro, but someone was having a tough time getting up…

Next, I will be sharing an updated meal plan and supplement stack that accommodates the summer temperatures and a new workout schedule.

Healthy Page just shared a fun interview with me. Check it out if you have time!
