Day 24- Bob Harper Total Trainer Plus Workout 1

Day 24- Bob Harper Total Trainer Plus Workout 1

This is a 26 minute video designed to give you a total body workout.  This one burned me out.  I hit the "I can't get up off the floor anymore."  So I swallowed my pride, dropped my 5 lb weight and got off the floor.  Bob makes some hard workout and I always feel like he baits me into pushing a little harder by being pleasant.  He is no drill sergeant, he just gets you to keep going.
Key points:
  • There's no warm up.  You get right into it.  There is a short cool down.
  • You'll preferably need 3 sets of weight.  I used 5lb, 8 lbs, and 10 lbs but you could get by with just one set of weights or none at all if you don't have any. 
  • This is not friendly on your knees. There are lots of squats, lots of getting up and down off the floor doing deep squats, and some lunges.  I decided to modify a few moves because my knees were telling me to be kinder to them (I have had an ACL and menisci repair).
  • Along with squats, there's planks, push ups, and burpees.  Ouch.
  • 218 calorie burn, average heart rate 140, max 161.
