~ TOPFIT Turkey Burn ~

Today was my day to do the ~ TOPFIT Turkey Burn ~ workout.....my special holiday workout to help burn off all the turkey and everything else everyone seems to need to indulge in this time of year. 35 minutes that seemed like over an hour of extreme intensity. For those I'm still going to have do it, be afraid, very afraid......for those that I've had do it this year or in previous years, you know what I mean.....for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about here's the plan.......Each 'station' is done for 1 minute (with no breaks between exercises) counting total reps for each exercise and at the end, a grand total.....complete 5 circuits.


squat thrusts
pullups
pushups
squats
SB crunches
SB leg curls
rest

If you can't do pullups, do jump pullups, some other form of modified pullups, lat pulldowns, cable rows or band rows.....don't make them too easy...you probably shouldn't be able to do a minute without breaks. Pushups can be standard, knee or counter pushups as needed.
Let me know if you decide to try it and what your grand total is.


Later, I had some energy left over, so I ran and power hiked Upper Table Rock.
