1000 Rep Challenge!

by Peachy Palate on March 2, 2013

Before going to the gym in the mornings I’ll scribble down what workout I’m going to attack.

More often than not they’re made up time challenges be it based on a certain amount of reps or AMRAP in a certain amount of time. I’m a big fan of Zuzana’s workouts and look forward to her posting a new one every week on her new site. It’s nice sometimes to mix it up a little and create something of you’re own.

Inspired by Julie @PBFingers and Bodyrock’s 1000 Rep Challenges I got to scribbling down one of my own. I went down the middle road and rather than going for lots of rounds or a major 50 reps in one fell run through I split it up in two rounds of 20 exercises with 25 reps.

I managed to complete it on yesterday after a 12 km run…somehow I found the energy and was done and dusted in just over 30 minutes with the occasionally leg and arm shake to keep me moving in between Smile

Here are a few links for the exercise you might not be familiar with!

Do you create your own workouts or follow a program?

Link me up to any good workouts you’ve found!

Do you have a link to a video of someone demonstrating a weighted leg lift? I’m not familiar with that exercise. . .
