SWINGSISTA WOD FRI+SAT 3/4TH AUG

Morning tweeples, a very busy week for both myself and Lixy, my son has been very poorly, so getting to the laptop for workouts has been pretty much non-existent!! HOWEVER, today at Cambridge Bootcamps we have had a SUPERHERO day, and this appears to have caused excitement on twitter :O)

Therefore I said I would post the exact w.o we are doing today with the girls for SWINGSISTA!



We did 3 rounds of the 50/10 Tabatta, and then tried to complete the last group of exercises as quickly as possible! I would suggest doing the 50/10 today, and saving the last part for your Saturday w.o if time is short.

Spiderman Burpee


Hell boy Smash downs (45 secs, minus the burpee attached, unless you really want to :)))


Elastagirl Squat to press


Silver Surfer pop-ups - Jump up low, rather than stand to squat as this girl is doing


Wonderwoman starjump, 4 x punches


Incredible Dash (sprint!)



Hope you enjoy this!!  IF you don't have any sandbags, do a Kettlebell Swing for 50 seconds like you mean it ;)


Much love, Charlie and Liz xxx

SWINGSISTA WOD THURS 28.06.12

Good Morning peeps - It is a beautiful day here in Cambridge, I hope you have some sunshine too 

☀☀☀

We had a request for some 'Core' work today, so here goes..  As you may or may not know, Kettlebell exercises work the core all the time, and it is EXTREMELY important to engage your tummy at all times whilst you use them. Imagine you are being punched in the tummy whilst performing all reps - This will encourage  the stabilizer and deep core muscles to work effectively to keep your joints and spine aligned throughout a kettlebell move   ðŸ˜‰




Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:-->


12 x Janda Sit-ups
12 x Low Oblique Plank (Hands on Kettlebell if feeling frisky ;) - 2 legs = 1 rep
12 x Russian Twist (Hit Kettlebell down to L+R for 1 rep)
12 x Pullover to Crunch







Have a lovely day,
