October is pretty much known for being the month of Halloween, and another "King of the Hill" Challenge is upon me and my Beachbody Coaches Group. As a warm-up for the KotH Challenge, my coach sent out a "Spooky Routine" to all the members to do at least once before October started. So I actually did this routine on Sunday, the 29th, but I held off on reporting it because it was so cool. Here is it:
I thought I could power through this in 25 minutes or so. It ended up taking me close to an hour to get through the three rounds of this monster! A couple adjustments and an additional move at the end brought it to that long. Here's what I did: I did all the timed moves as noted, but I ended up going overtime on most of them because I didn't want to stop at like 33 reps, so I kept going a few extra seconds to get to 35 or 40 reps on the fast moves like Mountain Climbers or Speed Skaters. But on the bodyweight moves like Push-Ups, I did 20 instead of 15. Instead of Walking Lunges (First Move), I did Alternating Jumping Lunges, 2 moves equaled 1 rep. For the weighted moves, Curls and Rows, I did them as a Combo move instead of individually. I used 10kgx2 for the first two rounds then went down to 7.5kgsx2 for the last round. I was just fried. Then, in the end, after the Plank move, I added 5 reps of Pull-Ups. Just to start getting back into it.
Let me tell you, this little routine was a lot harder than I had initially thought. But it was a good full-body workout.
I burned over 800kcals on this routine, so I was happy about that. From October 1, today, I'm going to kick it into high gear and do something every day so I can keep my "Crown".
