Yeah that's what I said, "The Hangover Workout!" Here's the situation; you went out and partied a little bit too hard on Friday night knowing full well that you needed to hit the gym the next morning. Another issue is the fact that you have to be somewhere on Saturday afternoon by noon and you woke up at 10am. How can you get in a total body fat-burning workout and sweat like a pig to burn off some of those empty calories you railed down your gullet last night?
Simple...try the workout I came up with (and did) when I found myself in this exact predicament this past weekend! The entire workout including warm-up and stretching afterwards should only take you 30 minutes and I guarantee the Miller Lite will be flowing from your pores like a midday Florida rain storm. Here we go:
Warm-up - 8 to 10 minutes on elliptical, bike, or treadmill
Series 1 - 3 exercises, no rest between rounds
round 1 - 10 40lb. two-arm dumbell swings, 10 push-ups, 100 jump rope revolutions
round 2 - 9 40lb. two-arm dumbell swings, 9 push-ups, 90 jump rope revolutions
rounds 3 to 10 - work all the way down to 1 rep and 10 revolutions without rest
2 minute rest
Series 2 - squat, curl, and press
perform the 30lb. dumbell squat, curl, and press just as you did the previous series. Start with 10 reps, rest 15-30 seconds, do 9, rest 15 - 30 seconds, do 8, etc. etc. all the way to 1 rep.
2 minute rest
Series 3 - 2 exercises, no rest
alternate between kneeling cable crunch and dumbell shrugs
perform 4 sets of 15 repetitions of each move without rest
Stretch then enjoy your Saturday knowing that you burned some solid calories and feel better for doing so! You only get 1!
