Description: June 25: 500 Rep Bodyweight Challenge - Gym

Complete the warm up first. Complete the total number of reps for each exercise before moving on to the next exercise. There is no scheduled rest between exercises as this is a timed challenge. Rest only when needed. Complete only one round, which equals 500 reps.

Finish the workout with the cool down.

Follow these moves for the sets and reps indicated BEFORE your workout.

Row for 1 minute to steadily raise your heart rate while warming up the muscles and joints.

Rowing Machine

Tempo: 2020
1. While standing, hold a pair of dumbbells with an overhand grip in front of your thighs.
2. Pull the dumbbells up by bending your elbows and keeping the weight close to your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.
3. Rotate your forearms so they’re now upward without moving your elbows and keeping your upper arms parallel to the ground. Your palms should now be facing forward.
4. Press the dumbbells up by extending your arms directly over your shoulders.
5. Under control, reverse the movement and repeat.

Standing Dumbbell Cuban Press

Tempo: 2010
1. Get down on the floor with your hands planted directly beneath your shoulders and your knees below your hips.
2. While keeping your knee bent, lift one leg up and out to the side as high as possible without twisting your torso. Your upper body should remain locked down and parallel to the ground at all times.
3. Next, extend your raised leg back to create a straight line with your upper torso.
4. Bend your knee and bring it back to the starting position.
5. Repeat with the opposite leg and continue for reps.

Alternating Fire Hydrant with Leg Extension (8/leg)

Warm Up

Tempo: 2011
1. Set up the barbell so it reaches hip height.
2. Lie down underneath the barbell with your heels on the ground and grab the barbell with an overhand grip, 1-2 inches outside of shoulder width.
3. Focus on keeping your entire body, from head to toe, in a straight line, while you look up at the ceiling.
4. Initiate the movement by contracting your back muscles, pulling your shoulder blades back and together, and pulling your chest to the bar.
5. Slowly lower yourself back down until your arms are straight, maintaining your body in a straight line, and repeat.

Inverted Row

Tempo: X0X0
1. With a shoulder width stance begin the squat by first bending at the hips by descending back and down until your hips drop below your knees while keeping the natural arch in your back.
2. The entire bottom of your foot, especially your heels, should remain in contact with the floor at all times with your knees in line with your toes.
3. Now press your feet through the ground to rise back up, fully extending your knees and hips and contracting your glutes at the top of the air squat.
4. Repeat.

Air Squats

Tempo: 1010
1. Get down on the floor with your arms straight, hands just outside shoulder width and directly below your shoulders.
2. Ensure your body maintains a straight line from your feet all the way up to your head. To keep your body rigid in a straight line, and reduce any sagging, keep your abs, your glutes, your quads, and hamstrings tight throughout the movement.
3. To lower your body to the ground, bend your elbows until your chest hovers just above the ground.
4. Contract your chest and triceps to push yourself back up to the beginning position.
5. Repeat.

Push Up

1. Stand with your feet together and arms down by your sides.
2. In one motion, jump up and out landing your feet just outside hip width, while simultaneously raising your arms out to the side and over your head.
3. Try to touch your hands above your head. 
4. Then immediately return back to the starting position and continue for reps.

Jumping Jacks

Tempo: 1010
1. Lie down on your back, place your hands on the side of your head, with your knees bent at a 90 degree angle.
2. Lift your shoulders and upper back off the floor while crunching across your body to touch one elbow with the opposite knee while straightening your other leg.
3. Pause to contract your abs to feel a good squeeze, then straighten the bent leg while bending your other knee towards your chest and twist your upper body to touch your knee with the opposite elbow.
4. That’s one rep.
5. Continue alternating sides and repeat for reps.

Bicycle Crunch (60 reps/side)

Tempo: 1010
1. Keeping your chest up, step forward with one leg until your thigh is close to parallel to the ground and your knee is bent at a 90 degree angle. 
2. Press through the ground with your feet, then lift yourself back up to starting position.
3. Take a step forward with your other leg and continue alternating sides while walking forward. 
4. Repeat for reps.

Walking Lunge (20/leg)

Tempo: X0X0
1. Get in push up position with your hands directly below your shoulders, core tight, and your legs straight behind you.
2. Drive one knee towards your chest, while maintaining a flat back, then reverse it back to the starting position.
3. Repeat with your other leg.
4. Alternate back and forth as fast as you can maintaining good form.

Mountain Climbers (75/leg)

1. Hold the ends of the jump rope in each hand.
2. With your feet hip-width apart, slightly bend your knees, and push the balls of your feet through the ground to jump up, point your toes to the ground, and with your hands by your waist, quickly rotate your wrists to make small circles to revolve the rope around your body.
3. Land softly on your toes, and quickly push off again from the balls of your feet. The idea is to jump over the rope as quickly as possible with a slight hop. Don’t think of jumping as high as you can, think about bouncing on the balls of your feet.
4. To make it harder, do double unders. This is when the rope revolves under your feet twice within one jump. Once again, the idea is not to just jump higher, the speed comes from the quick rotation of your wrists.

Speed Jump Rope

Follow these moves for the sets and reps indicated AFTER your workout.

1. Get down on your hands and knees with your feet against a wall or couch. Keeping one knee on the floor, lift the opposite foot and slide it up the wall (or the front of the couch) until the top of your foot and shin is flat against the wall. Step forward with the opposite leg so you foot is directly below your knee.
2. Lift your torso up so it’s inline with your quad on the back leg. Squeeze your glutes and contract your hamstrings by trying to pull your heel to your butt.
3. Set the timer, hold, and repeat with the other leg.

Couch Stretch (60 sec/leg)

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet planted into the floor, with your arms extended at your sides.
2. Bring your knees towards your chest and place your hands just behind your knees.
3. Keeping your back flat on the floor throughout the stretch, pull your knees towards your chest and hold.
