Full body workout that will burn


Scott Schwab:
I did a full body workout yesterday that I thought I would pass it on to each of you to see what you think. Just as a precursor, prepare to be sore. I wanted to wait a day just to see how I felt and I think we found a winner.
Lumberjack
Take two dumb bells of equal weight and place them shoulder width apart on the ground. This will be a figure 8 type move and will require some bending and twisting. Bend down and grab the dumb bell to the right with both hands. It is important that you grab the weight with both hands and twist your torso to the right and as you start to stand up, launch the weight to the left above your head outreached over your left shoulder. Take the weight and put it back where you picked it up. Before you stand up twist your body to the left and pick up the dumb bell on your left and repeat the process up and to the right. Do this for both sides 5 or 10 times depending upon how heavy the weight is. Remember to keep in mind that you will do 4 sets.
High-flys
Take one dumb bell and put the dumb bell at your feet. You will be in the squat position and grab the weight with one hand and hold the weight out in front of you with your elbow locked. Extend that above your head, in one fluid motion directly over your head. Take the weight down and in front of you until you put the weight back on the floor. Repeat this for both arms 5-10 times depending upon how heavy the weight is. 4 sets are recommended
Push-up planks
You will start in the push up position and as you go down go down onto your elbows, left and then right or left then right. You will push yourself up from your elbows one arm at a time. The goal will be to do 10 reps, but if you can go further I would encourage it. 4 sets are recommended
Horizontal crab
Set yourself up with a distance of 20 feet. Start in push up position and start by moving your foot out to the side followed by your arm. Follow the action by bringing the other foot back into starting position as well as the arms in push-up position. Continue the movement until you get to the end of the 20 foot distance. Repeat 4 times.
