Welcome to WEDNESDAY EVENING everyone. It's half way through the week and time for a kick-ass workout to wear you out in time for Friday. I mean, jazz you up for Friday. Totally the second one....totally...
Ok, so that's harsh - it doesn't actually feel like Wednesday for me this week which makes up for last week when I thought it was Thursday on Tuesday. That was a let down.
There is one fact about the latter part of the week though...

So anyway, as I was busting a gut at the gym on Sunday, bopping along to something that was loud and well, boppy sweat pouring down my face and pretty sure that my lungs were going to jump out of my throat, wriggle across the gym floor and hide from me (such imagery I know...) Kate, a trainer at my gym (and a lovely person....don't hunt me down for creeping out on you on Monday... :p) crept up behind me and put this on the crosstrainer in front of me.
Don't worry, I did check it was ok to share this!
I'm not sure what my face looked like at that point, but it can't have been pretty.
Still, this is my nomination for #workoutwednesday. It's guaranteed to make you sweat, cry and feel amazing all in one fell swoop.
So - just to go over basics:
1) wide pull-ups. Arms wide, outside grip and pull. Jump into it if you need to, but make sure you pull too.
2) thrusters....dumbbell in each hand push from a crouch to standing straight with arms extended above your head
3) burpees *shudder*
1) Great compound exercise....good luck... 0_o Wide arms, don't tuck them in!

2) use proper weights for goodness sake. This outline looks like she's using a tampon container.
Taken from http://workoutlabs.com/exercise-guide/dumbbell-squat-thrusters/ and yes it DOES wind me up that the girl outlines have smaller dumbbells than the boy ones....too sensitive?!
3) ah burpees. Who doesn't love a burpee....ok, stupid question. I'm sure burpees don't much like us either...
