There was some mumble chatter on Wednesday regarding a popular celebrity fitness enthusiast. I used her as my inspiration for this workout, WWJMD – What Would Jillian Michaels Do? A quick search on that lovely thing that Al Gore created didn’t reveal much, other than some intense looking pictures. So we did HIIT today in her honor.

Warm-up:

1. Forward arm circles IC x 15
2. Backward arm circles IC x 15
3. Windmills IC x 15
4. Cotton pickers IC x 15

The main event:

HIIT using a tabata timer. 20 seconds work, 10 seconds off. Three rounds through the following:

1. SSH
2. Apollo Ohno’s
3. Burpees
4. Lunges
5. Jump squat
6. Mason twist
7. Merkins
8. Mountain climbers
9. Shoulder tap merkins
10. Plank jacks
11. Carolina dry docks
12. Jump squat
13. Imperial stormtroopers (to focus on the obliques)
14. LBDs – little baby dips
15. Al Gore

We still had a few minutes left after our three rounds. Partner up. Partner one runs to the stop sign, no not that one, the farther one. One merkin. Runs back. Partner two is waiting in people’s chair. Partner two runs down for two merkins, etc. I think we made it to 5 total in about 7 minutes, solid work. It was about a 200m sprint down then up hill back.

Slow Mary – everything slow, opposite of the HIIT training earlier

1. Slow flutter IC x 15
2. Slow dolly IC x 15
3. Slow pretzel crunch IC x 15, flapjack
4. Slow Freddie Merc’s IC x 15
