Train The PJ Way Newsletter: Fitness Friday


Hey Hey, it's Fitness Friday!

Make sure you get in your curls today.  It is Friday, you know!

We're now to Week 4, Day 3 of the IYBPB50# workout:

IYBPB50#, Week 4, Day 3

Bench Press: 2 x 3 @ 95%, 2 x 1 @ 105%, 1 x 115% for one Negative rep (use spotter!)
Bar Dips: 3 x 8
Lat Pulldowns 3 x 8
1 Arm DB Rows 3 x 8 per side
DB Curls 3 x 8

Got time for a little finisher?
Stability Ball Ab Crunches: 3 minutes of 20s work, 10s rest

I'm hoping by now that you've been attacking the IYBPB50# program. 

A great shirt to wear while benching (it may increase your bench, who knows?) is the #WHYBY? shirt from PJ's Fitness Shop!

Today's little fitness tip is getting in some cardio when you really don't want to do cardio.
 
Want a good substitution?
 
Kettlebell Swings for 10 minutes to 15 minutes.  Not doing them straight for that long, but doing a series of high rep sets between those times.  100 swings usually takes 2:40-3:00 to do for total time.
If you did a set of 100 every 4 minutes, you will get 300 in under 12 minutes of time.  If you need more rest, take it.  For those new to it, a 1:1 work/rest ratio might be better for you.  Rest less when you feel you are getting used to the feel of kettlebell swings.
 
Many people do a Kettlebell Swing Challenge in January, aiming for 10,000 Swings within the month. Check out Just Swing It! or Kettlebell XL for a more advanced routine at http://tinyurl.com/rkofp
