Early Morning and Lunchtime Workout Combo

  • May 6, 2012
  • Tony Matesi

Due to my injured foot from the Indiana Sprint and the shoulder that won’t heal (since New Years) I’ve had to scale back my workouts the past two weeks more than I’d have liked to. Hell I don’t like that I’ve had to scale them back at all but I have to try to let these injuries get better otherwise its just going to be additional suck to suffer through during the Death Race. I’ve been doing a lot more legs, arms, and core workouts as a result. Friday morning I woke up extra early because I wanted to get into the office an hour early, as well as squeeze in a nice morning workout. FYI I rolled right out of bed did some light stretching to warm my body up and continued my workout right there next to my bed.

  • 100 Air Squats
  • 50 crunchies
  • 50 air squats
  • 50 bicycles
  • 100 calf raises
  • 50  in-place lunges
  • 50 v-ups
  • 100 toe raises

Then later in the afternoon, just before my lunch at work I did some additional leg and ab work.

  • 50 Deep Air Squats
  • 100 crunchies
  • 50 Left Leg Up Sit-Ups
  • 50 Right Leg Up Sit-Ups
  • 50 each side, side crunchies
  • 25 each side, single leg squats. While balancing on one leg and holding the other perpendicular to your body out in front of you, perform a squat. This requires balance, I suggest being next to something you can grab for balance as you go down, but do not rely on it only use as needed to get your balance in check.
  • 25 V-Ups

Let’s just say my calves have been on fire the past two days, it was a fantastic workout that together took less than 45 minutes total.
