Week#3 Workout #2 (#10)

Jayanth — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:16:21 +0000

Today I just had 30 minutes in the morning before I rushed to catch a train. Will probably do the rest of the workout at night. Finished 1 set of 25 rounds getting up early @ 5 am and taking a hot water bath. That helped to loosen the body and be ready for a workout. Generally I need an hour after I wakeup to workout at the earliest.

Workout Tip #1 – Dont do full pushups

The 6th asana in every suryanamaskar, is a full Push-Up. You may not be able to complete more than 45 rounds if you do full push-ups in every workout.

Week#2 – Workout #4 (#8)

Jayanth — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:07:23 +0000

I wanted to complete 75 rounds today and hence changed the number of rounds per set and the total number of sets. I broke the workout into 5 sets with 15 rounds per set. After the first set was completed, I started sweating and it was heavy after 23 rounds. I was thoroughly exhausted while doing the 5th set and felt great after 75 rounds. If I continue doing 75 rounds for the next 3 – 4 weeks, I am sure I can loose a few pounds.

Sets Completed : 5

Number of rounds per Set : 15

Time taken to complete : 50 (including relaxation of 4 minutes)

Benefits #2 – Total Body Workout

This is probably one of the few workouts that is thoroughly a total body workout. Right from loosing flab on abs, it works your biceps, pecs, hamstrings and massages the endocrine glands.
