Workout of the Week: Ropes and Bands!

What a week this has been and its only Wednesday! I'm struggling I must admit. Everyone did a great job with jumproping and bands this week! Jumping rope for a minute (or longer) at a time is not easy, but everyone hung in there!
My workouts with each group varied just a little, but here are the basics of the workout this week.
All you need is a jump rope and a resistance band:

Band Squats
1 min (hold and pulse- 10)

Standing side leg lifts (20 each side)

--Jump Rope 1 min--

Reverse Fly
(30 sec)

Upright Row
(30 sec)

--jump rope 1 min--

Side to side Squats with band (1 min)
Standing side to side steps with band (1 min)

-- jump rope 1 min--

Bicep Curls ( 1 min)
Tricep Extension (1 min)

--jump rope 1 min---

Hip Lifts/Bridges on floor (30 sec)
Bicycles (30 sec)

Repeat all exerices 2x through!
Remember jumping rope is one of the best fat burning exercises you can do! And...turning the real rope is tough, but it make you work harder and improves your speed and agility! Stick with it and you'll be a pro in no time!
