Workout #3: Strength Training Intervals

Once again, thanks to Debbie G for putting this all together!  :)

Burpees, 10 each.  On a step.  Challenge: w/out step
Squats w/ Shoulder Press.  20 each, 10 w/ press 10 w/out press.  Barely touch bottom of chair.

Everything else is timed; start w/ 30 seconds and work the way up to 1 minute each:

-side to side (w/ a step or w/out).  Challenge, for me, will be with a step...working on my coordination here! lol
-push ups (on knees right now)
-on the ball w/ a band:
   back pull (lying on hips/abs area and then pulling band back to work my back upper back region)
   abs on ball w/ band (in crunch position, hold band w/ each hand, and use band as added resistance)
   1-arm bicep w/ band (tie around something, and do from side position)
   tricep dips on ball--place ball against the wall (challenge: ball off the wall)
-1-arm shoulder press (10 lbs e/ arm)
-bottom to upright row, go up on toes (10 lbs each arm)
-reverse lunges w/ a punch out
-Russian twist w/ 5-8 lbs (arms to floor to work abs more)
-plank, on knees, elbows aligned w/ shoulders (start w/ 30 sec, challenge is a full minute)
-toe touches (crunches w/ arms out)

As of March 2nd, here are my original numbers for each.  I'll need to put an updated total when I move on to the next workout round! :)
